Identity and locality
Pseudancistrus corantijniensis de Chambrier & Montoya-Burgos, 2008
Corantijn / Corentyne drainage, Guiana Shield
Diagnostic evidence and naming
The 2014 comparative key explicitly distinguishes this named species from P. zawadzkii using pale spot pattern, snout odontodes and body proportions. The species is not a commercial shade mutation of P. barbatus. Pseudancistrus corantijniensis was formally described by de Chambrier and Montoya-Burgos in 2008 from the Corantijn basin. The 2014 paper revisits relationships and did not first describe it.
Breeding and genetics limitations
