 Cat-eLog Data Sheet | |
|---|---|
| Scientific Name | Peckoltia cf. snethlageae , 1994 |
| Common Name(s) | L161 |
| Type Locality | Rio Xingú |
| Pronunciation | peck OLE tea ah |
| Etymology | Named after Gustavo Peckolt, member of the Natural History Commission of Rondon. |
| Species Information | |
| Size | 120mm (4.7") SL. Find near, nearer or same sized spp. |
| Identification | Is perhaps the same species as L141/L214 which come from the Rio Tapajós. There only appears to be one difference. L161 has a yellow margin of the caudal fin, L141 / L215 have a bluish white or white margin. |
| General Remarks | The taxonomic placement of this species (indeed the group of species of which it is a member) is currently in something of a flux. While Ancistomus was recently erected to house these elongate species that demonstrate entirely different secondary sexual dimorphism and breeding behaviour from 'classic' Peckoltia, the problem exists in defining what 'classic' Peckoltia really means and indeed what it's relationship is with the other generic trash can that is Hemiancistrus. Until all this is resolved, these fish are conservatively placed in Peckoltia here although there is a strong, if poorly defensible, compulsion to put them in Hemiancistrus. |
