Hi!

It belongs to the genus Hypancistrus so the sexing method is basically the same than the one used for the other species.

Male: longer interopercular odontodes, longer pectoral odontodes, plate odontodes on the body and the hard rays of the fins. Head slightly larger and longer than the female, male slightly bigger than the female. Pectoral hard ray more thick

Female: ventral region looking more round

Cheers
Yann

Hi

here's some info I found:

Notizen zur Haltung und Zucht von L 270

And if you, just like me, don't understand German then you can use one of the translate-websites.
