The description says: Similar to D. brachyura but in L052 the stripes are more less clearly seperated and form a network pattern in adults. The ground colour of D. brachyura is more orange when you compare them directly. Some authors report that L052 doesn't have a night-time / stress alternative colouration akin to that exhibited by Z. brachyura, but this is refuted by other keepers of this fish and cannot be considered reliable.
Obviously the Z. is a remnant from the Zonancistrus and renaming business that has been going on for some time with these spp.
