I think David's wolves over 20" are the Lacerdae's and Aimara. They may have the Ven. Black at that size though. I don't think there are any other Hoplias that reach much above 15" an captivity. Hopefully David could confirm this.
I would say all the Black wolves available tend to be one of two we are talking about. These are clearly different species rather than varients. I have no doubt there are different variations in colour because of there range. There are a lot of different photo's out there showing variations in colour. My single Black wolf has shown most of these colours depending on mood, very variable.
To the original question I have some new info. Yesterday I tried to combine my Xingu and a Cephalosilurus Fowleri cat which is far from a push over, the Wolf went ballistic, continous full on aggresion, The cat hid but as soon as the wolf saw him again he attacked, I have seperated them now. The Wolf has his own tank now.

As I understand it the Xingu is near to being described as a seperate species. Although it has been for some time now.
