n view of the occasion there follows a small picture-round up with displays of Peckoltia vittata. The species is imported regularly. But the name Peckoltia vittata is used not only for this species but also for some others, which do not even belong to the genus Peckoltia. L15 counts as identically with Peckoltia vittata, perhaps also L209 and L211 are local morphs. The species was originally described by Steindachner in 1882 as Chaetostomas vittatus, with the following places of discovery: "Amazonen-Strom, Tajapouru,Xingu bei Porto Moz, Rio Madeira".  Drawing
