Information: |
R. latirostris adapts
to its surroundings to the colouration of the substrate that it
is sitting on. The third thumbnail down shows this trait. Better
to be kept at the cool end of tropical temperatures due to the
proximity that it is found in. Remarks:
Loricaria latirostris treated as valid following first
reviser action of Regan (1904b: 283). |
