This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Werneke, David C., Armbruster, Jonathan W., Lujan, Nathan K., Taphorn, Donald C. (2005): Hemiancistrus guahiborum, a new suckermouth armored catfish from Southern Venezuela (Siluriformes: Loricariidae). Neotropical Ichthyology 3 (4): 543-548, DOI: 10.1590/S1679-62252005000400011, URL: scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S1679-62252005000400011&lng=en&tlng=en Hemiancistrus guahiborum, new species, is described from the Orinoco River drainage of Venezuela.

Hemiancistrus guahiborum can be separated from all other Hemiancistrus and all Peckoltia except P. braueri and P. cavatica by having an orange edge to the dorsal and caudal fins. Hemiancistrus guahiborum can be separated from Peckoltia cavatica and P. braueri by having the dorsal fin with separated light spots or uniformly colored (vs. with dark spots forming bands) and the sides either solidly colored or with tan blotches (vs. with dark dorsal saddles).
