Hypostomus niceforoi is a species of suckermouth armored catfish.
Taxonomic history
This species was described by Henry Weed Fowler in 1943. The holotype was donated to the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia by Brother Nicéforo María, after whom the specific name is named. Its type locality is Florencia, Columbia in the Orteguaza River river. Fowler placed the species in the genus Hemiancistrus.[2] Isaäc J. H. Isbrücker transferred this species to Hypostomus in 1980.[3]
Distribution
This species is endemic to Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru. A fish labeled Hypostomus cf. niceforoi has been found in Nicaragua; it is thought their introduction to Lake Nicaragua as an invasive species is due to the aquarium trade.[4] H. cf. niceforoi have also been found in the San Marcos River, Texas.[5]
