L299?

The in the Cat-eLog looks to me like Pseudancistrus nigrescens, and its distribution matches it. I've looked at 30-40 P. nigrescens specimens and they look like the fish pictured to me.

I'd be more confident if I saw more pictures of L299 for comparison, though, but unfortunately that appears to be the only one I can find with a quick google search.

Good spot, Ingo & Hans label it as P. cf. nigrescens in Vol 2. Perhaps someone who can read German could translate why they were not comfortable with a placing it in that species.

Hi,

don´t have my WA2 at work (so can´t translate right now).
But FWIW, in a more recent article (one or two years ago; would have to look that up) Ingo dropped the "cf." for L 299 and termed them P. nigrescens.
So if we trust in Ingo´s judgement, they are indeed the same species.

Anyway, will look into the WA2 later on and let you know about the reasons.

Cheers, Sandor

Having Ingo confirm it makes me feel better.

Thanks, Sandor!
