Etymology: Ancistomus: Greek, agkale, agkalos = hook, something curved + Greek, stoma = mouth; micrommatos: Named for its small eyes; noun in apposition..
Issue
In Ambruster et al., 2015 (Ref. 99824), no characteristics were found to separate Ancistomus micrommatos from A. spiloma and A. spinosissimus, and these may represent the same species.

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=0.01514 (0.00712 - 0.03216), b=2.97 (2.80 - 3.14), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Resilience (Ref.
120179): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
