New Loricariidae discoveries

[WyldFya]

So we keep having new threads started for newly discovered plecos. Time to consolidate.

Chaetostoma greeni.

 

[davo]

that was discovered in 2001?

 

[WyldFya]

Yeah.

 

[davo]

ok...

 

[WyldFya]

Or it was just scientifically identified. B. dematoides and h. subviridis were only described last year.

 

[WyldFya]

This is another one that was Identified in 2004 very cool looking IMO.

 

[davo]

well there has been 4 discoveries (with scientific names, if not more) just in the ancistrus group. 2 of those in 2005. what is this thread for. when they are newly discovered as of now, or just anything recent and not newly discovered? im confused

 

[WyldFya]

Its intent is for newly discovered plecos, I'd say within the last 5 years or so is good.

Here is a new one for the whiptails. Rineloricaria misionera

 

[davo]
