I read the original. Problem is, there are no plecos reported from Formosa. Best I could guess, these are Hypostomus.

Agree, also, the top one might be
Hypostomus latifrons
but the identify will need captive care, more photographs and so on.

Thanks Silurus. I was unaware of this one. Oddly, there was nothing with this locality in the GBIF database.

Cheers, Eric

Thank you very much for your answers.
the other species, which has points could be Hypostomus boulengeri?
this species was cited for Formosa by Weber, C. (1986): Revision of Hypostomus boulengeri (Eigenmann
& Kennedy), et deux espèces nouvelles de poissonschats du Paraguay.
