Source-derived summary

Hypostomus renestoi is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae. It is native to South America, where it occurs in the upper Paraguay River basin in Brazil. The species was described in 2018 by Cláudio Henrique Zawadzki, Hugmar Pains da Silva, and Waldo Pinheiro Troy alongside the redescription of Hypostomus latirostris. FishBase does not list this species.

Etymology

The fish is named in honor of Brazilian ichthyologist Erasmo Renesto, of the Universidade Estadual de Maringá, because of his contributions to the genetics of neotropical fishes.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Hypostomus renestoi” as species of catfish. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA sound reference starting point where classification, measurement and the date of the underlying evidence remain visible. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2018—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Hypostomus, renestoi and species can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the science & nature register because the source frames it as species of catfish. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 13, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q56316412. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2018.

Critical limits

Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
