Ancistomus snethlageae is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae. It is native to South America, where it occurs in the Tapajós basin in Brazil . The species reaches 22 cm (8.7 inches) in total length.[1] Although originally described as a species of Ancistrus in 1911 by Franz Steindachner and subsequently reclassified in the genera Hemiancistrus, Lasiancistrus, and Peckoltia, a 2015 review conducted by Jonathan W. Armbruster (of Auburn University), David C. Werneke, and Milton Tan listed the species as valid within Ancistomus.[2]
Ancistomus snethlageae appears in the aquarium trade, where it is often referred to either as the ghost pleco or by one of two associated L-numbers, which are L-141 and L-215.[3]
