I'm guessing that this doesn't have an L-number... Or that there is some other entry for it in the Cat-eLog?

If there is an entry in the Cat-eLog for it, it most certainly isn't in Pseudancistrus. The new species has a color pattern reminiscent of most Peckoltia (i.e. with broad, dark bands).

Any pics?

I'm working on that, but I expect the main author, Phil Willink - we've had contact via e-mail before, will not be available until this afternoon European time. So a few hours to go.

I've added the new species, the basic data is entered and awaiting Jools approval. I still haven't got any pictures, so that may take some time before that goes in (it also may need a new contributor to be added, which is another thing only Jools can do).

I'm curious if it's something similar to what I might have.

Photos are in my inbox, I will try to add them today.

First couple of pictures are in... (I skipped over a bunch of updates of existing species - need to do those too!)

Edit: 7 pictures added, including habitat photo.

And for people that had trouble finding the pics like me, here ya go

Ah, sorry, yes I should have posted a link...

You can also find it by the method of "show recent image updates" in the Cat-eLog menu or the Planet Catfish homepage.

I see the male has grown a nice set of Xmas whiskers like me!

Very interesting species, indeed! That certainly wasn't a Peckoltia! Thank you kindly for the updates.
