L201 identification

I know there are several species which are sold as L201 and I read the discussion about L201 vs L202 and the differencent in markings. My 6 fish all look like the cat-elog L201 photos. No back borders on the unpaired fins.
These fish of mine came in small and compared to many other Hypancistrus I have seem to be slow growing and likely remain among the smaller sized plecos of Hypancistrus species. Are we deciding that Hypancistrus L201 is not H. inspector, now? Is Hypancistrus L202 the valid H. inspector based on the coloration of the holotype description of H. inspector?
Just trying to keep these things straight in my mind. I could not attch photos of my fish. They are the most reclusive of all the small plecos that share this 75 gallon tank. They are the first to dash for cover at lights on. The others in this tank are not as shy; L134, L066, L333, L173, and Peckoltia vitatta.
The recent photos on home page are representative of my L201?

l am confused, how can the two fish L201 and L202 be confused, did l miss somthing here? one is Hypan whilst the other is Peckoltia sp.
They dont even look similar on the cat-elog?

I think Larry means L102 and L201 can be "confused".

Matt,
Me, confused? Well I never..
The problem of having a brain the size of a planet means it is subject to continental drift.

I definitely confused 202 and 102. I think it was more of a transcription error. The fish I have are definitely L201 rather than L102. The difference is obvious after reviewing the Cat-eLog photos. I have the ones I wanted to have so I'm a happy camper.
