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 , after whom the specific name is named. Its type locality is Florencia, Columbia in the Orteguaza 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]
