Relevant Information:

Cordylancistrus has historically been the bin into which ichthyologists placed all 'Chaetostoma-like' loricariids that had fully-plated snouts but lacked the distinctive attributes of either Dolichancistrus (long pectoral-fin spines, at least one highly elongate cheek odontode) or Leptoancistrus (adipose and anal fins missing, at least one highly elongate cheek odontode) (Lujan, Nathan 2019). Remarks: The occurrence of one species of Cordylancistrus in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta could have interesting biogeographic implications for hypotheses related to the geological history of the northwestern corner of South America or to the dispersal or vicariance models used to explain biogeographical patterns of related species in Colombia (Provenzano R., F., N. Milani y C. Ardila R., 2017).
