Issue
Synonymy based on examination of numerous specimens including syntypes of Ancistrus dolichopterus; no recent redescription, but see Eigenmann and Eigenmann (1890:448, as Ancistrus temminckii) for a complementary description, and Römer (1990) and Holota (1990) (both references as Ancistrus cf. hoplogenys) for figures of living specimens and reproduction observations in aquarium; 12S and 16S mitochondrial rRNA gene sequences used in molecular phylogenies by Montoya-Burgos et al. (1997: fig. 4; 1998: figs. 3 & 6; EMBL/GenBank Y08276; Y08324).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01622 (0.00843 - 0.03120), b=3.05 (2.89 - 3.21), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & Genus-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Resiliência (Ref.
120179): Médio, tempo mínimo de duplicação da população 1,4 - 4,4 anos (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
