They were shipped as L-014 and I was told they are from a different part of the river.

L-253 looks like a decent match.

But I'm not an expert on these things...

It could be L253 or L48, it's really hard to see any difference in your pictures...maybe even this two are the same species but that will the future tell us :wink:

Thanks,
Janne , I think they are the same species - there is one other one that I didn't post a picture here of but thatI have one of in the scobinancistrus thread.

253 was my guess also but L-268 seems to look a bit like it too.

L268 seams to be an Lasiancistrus sp.
