Identity and locality
Panaqolus purusiensis (LaMonte, 1935)
Upper Rio Purus drainage, Brazil
Diagnostic evidence and naming
2014 redescription confirms a named taxon that often retains wide dark bands with narrow pale interspaces; compared with P. changae, gnomus and maccus, and documents wild specimens from stones or cavities in rotting wood. The 2014 redescription of Panaqolus purusiensis compares its juvenile trunk bar orientation with P. gnomus. GBIF indexes the treatment; the bar pattern is not a captive Mendelian study.
Breeding and genetics limitations
Captive seasonal breeding methods and precise genus-wide food compositions are not established by stomach/field taxonomic examination.
