Relevant Information:	This Corydoras was one of the first of the fleshy coloured, black banded/striped species with the gold markings to be collected in the tributaries of the upper Rio Negro in Brazil, alongside such species as Corydoras burgesssi, Corydoras davidsandsi and Corydoras imitator which was collected at the same time and is basically the long nosed variety of C. adolfoi, and also the very similar Corydoras duplicareus which has a broader black band on the body and also a different structure to the pectoral fin spines. There has also been collections made over the border in Venezuela.
