Diagnostic Description

provided by Fishbase
Diagnosed from all other members of the Hypostomus cochliodon group by its coloration: light tan-gray with well-separated spots and no stripes. Differs from H. hemicochliodon by lacking a buccal papilla, and from H. pyrineusi by the presence of strong, sharp keels on the lateral plates. This is mostly similar to H. oculeus from which it differs mainly in coloration and morphometrics (Ref. 50589).

Hypostomus ericius

provided by wikipedia EN

Hypostomus ericius,[1] sometimes known as the beige cochliodon,[2] is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae. It is native to South America, where it occurs in the upper Amazon River drainage in Peru. The species reaches 18.7 cm (7.4 inches) in standard length.[3]

Hypostomus ericius was described in 2003 by Jonathan W. Armbruster (of Auburn University) alongside three other species of Hypostomus: H. hemicochliodon, H. pagei, and H. sculpodon. Its specific epithet, ericius, is derived from Latin and means "hedgehog", referring to the sharp odontodes displayed by the species.[4][3]
