Listed in GBIF
Description
This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Armbruster, Jonathan W. (2005): The loricariid catfish genus Lasiancistrus (Siluriformes) with descriptions of two new species. Neotropical Ichthyology 3 (4): 549-569, DOI: 10.1590/S1679-62252005000400013, URL: scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S1679-62252005000400013&lng=en&tlng=en Lasiancistrus (Loricariidae: Hypostominae: Ancistrini) is diagnosed by the unique presence of a ventral strut of the pterotic and the presence of whiskerlike odontodes on the snout.
Lasiancistrus has about 16 species assigned to it; however, only four are valid (L. schomburgkii, L. caucanus, L. guacharote, and L. heteracanthus), L. nationi is an Ancistrus, and L. trinitatus is incertae sedis in the Loricariidae. Lasiancistrus maracaiboensis and L. mystacinus are synonyms of L. guacharote; L. pictus, L. castelnaui, L. caquetae, L. guapore, L. multispinis, and L. scolymus are synonyms of L. schomburgkii; and L. planiceps, L. mayoloi, and L. volcanensis are synonyms of L. caucanus.

Two new species are described: L. tentaculatus from the río Orinoco basin and L. saetiger from the rio Guama. The species can largely be told apart via color (L. schomburgkii has no or white spots on the fins, L. saetiger has entirely gray fins, and the rest have black spots in the fins), the presence of abdominal plates (L. caucanus, L. saetiger, and L. tentaculatus have naked abdomens, L. guacharote has a few small plates near the insertion of the pectoral fin, L. heteracanthus has a large patch of small plates, and L. schomburgkii is variable), and nuptial male condition (L. tentaculatus has small tentacles along the edge of the snout and the other species have a patch of whiskerlike odontodes at the corners of the snout).
Most species are widespread in piedmont regions of South America with L. schomburgkii occurring in the Amazon, Orinoco, and Essequibo basins. Lasiancistrus (Loricariidae: Hypostominae: Ancistrini) é diagnosticado pela presença do suporte ventral do pterótico e pelos odontódeos em forma de vibrissas no focinho. Lasiancistrus possui cerca de 16 espécies nominais, sendo que apenas quarto são reconhecidas como válidas (L. schomburgkii, L. caucanus, L. guacharote e L. heteracanthus), L. nationi é um Ancistrus, e L. trinitatus, incertae sedis dentro de Loricariidae.
Lasiancistrus maracaiboensis e L. mystacinus são sinônimos de L. guacharote; L. pictus, L. castelnaui, L. caquetae, L. guapore, L. multispinis e L. scolymus são sinônimos de L. schomburgkii; e L. planiceps, L. mayoloi e L. volcanensis são sinônimos de L. caucanus. Duas novas espécies são descritas: L. tentaculatus da bacia do rio Orinoco e L. saetiger do rio Guama. As espécies podem ser claramente distinguidas pelo padrão de colorido (L. schomburgkii não possui maculas brancas nas nadadeiras, L. saetiger possui nadadeiras completamente acinzentadas, enquanto as demais espécies possuem maculas negras nas nadadeiras), pelo padrão de placas abdominais (L. caucanus, L. saetiger e L. tentaculatus possuem abdomen nú, L. guacharote possui poucas placas próximas à inserção da nadadeira peitoral, L. heteracanthus possui um grande grupo de pequenas placas e L. schomburgkii é variável), e pela condição nupcial dos machos (L. tentaculatus possui pequenos tentáculos ao longo da borda do focinho e as demais espécies possuem um grupo de odontódeos semelhantes a vibrissas na margem do focinho).
A maior parte das espécies encontra-se distribuída em regiões próximas à base da cordilheira na América do Sul, sendo que L. schomburgkii ocorre nas bacias Amazônica, do Orinoco e Essequibo.
