Etymology: Hypostomus: Greek, hypo = under + Greek, stoma = mouth (Ref. 45335).
Issue
Mitochondrial D-loop sequences used in a molecular phylogeny of Hypostomus and related genera by Montoya-Burgos and Weber (in press, fig. 2; EMBL/GenBank AJ318350). Biology: collected in transparent water, substrate composed by large rocks on fine sand, clay or shingle. No aquatic vegetation but leaves and dead woods. Water characteristics: depth of water: 20-200 mm., temperature 25-26°.

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01230 (0.00531 - 0.02848), b=2.97 (2.76 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Resiliencia (Ref.
120179): Medio, población duplicada en un tiempo mínimo de 1.4-4.4 años (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
