Relevant Information: |
Similar looking to Scobinancistrus raonii (L082) and could possibly be the same species but with smaller spots or be named as a new species of Scobinancistrus. The ancistrini is a tribe of the subfamily hypostominae. At the moment (2023), can not be placed in any of the described genera due to the overlaps of traits to different genera. Similar to the Scobinancistrus genera but is smaller and has a more slender body. Mature males have long odontodes behind the gill covers, on the pectorals and the body. Remarks: First appeared in the German DATZ magazine of January 1998 as Ancistrinae sp. (L252). |
