L-059 name?

I plan on getting a pair of L-059 Ancistrus plecos soon. I was wondering if this fish has been recently named. I did a yahoo search on the L number, and it came back with the name Ancistrus Haplogenys. Is this valid? Anyone have any keeping/breeding/killing (just kidding) experiences to share?
Thanks,
Gary

Ancistrus hoplogenys is a valid name, but is very often misapplied to a large number of Ancistrus, including L059 and L183.
