According
to Muller (1999), L 183 is the "true" Ancistrus
dolichopterus. In the original description it states that
the species has 8-9 soft rays in the dorsal fin, as is the case
in L 183. In the aquarium trade and literature, L 183 is
mistakenly referred to as Ancistrus hoplogenys.
Fishbase seem to show the wrong photo's for this species.
