Abstract

"A new species of suckermouth armored catfish, Pseudancistrus kwinti, is described from the Coppename River,

Suriname. It can be diagnosed from all other described Pseudancistrus by the following combination of characters:

dentary papillae absent, mid-dorsal plate row complete, coloration mottled or with bars, hypertrophied odontodes along

edge of snout, and weakly evertible cheek plates. It is only known from the Coppename River drainage within the

Central Suriname Nature Reserve, a United Nations World Heritage Site, and one of the most pristine environments

remaining on the planet. Mining, increased fishing pressure, and tourism threaten to change the region".

Species Information

Size 96mm

Identification Pattern looks similar to some Peckoltia species. The shape of the mouth/teeth and eye-size should :D identify the species. It is unlikely that this species enters the trade, based on it's restricted location, which is not commercially fished for the aquatic trade.

Sexing General for the genus is that the snout odontodes are longer in males.

Furniture Substrate in nature is rubble, boulders and cracked bedrock, with some Podostemaceae plants.
