Source-derived summary

Hypostomus sipaliwinii is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae. It is native to South America, where it occurs in the upper Courantyne River basin in Suriname. The species reaches 12.6 cm (5 inches) in standard length and is believed to be a facultative air-breather. It is possibly synonymous with Hypostomus corantijni.

Etymology

Hypostomus derives from the Greek root "hypo", meaning under, and the Greek root "stoma", meaning mouth. Sipaliwinii refers to a district within Suriname where this fish may be found.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Hypostomus sipaliwinii” as species of fish. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Hypostomus, sipaliwinii and species.

Editorial reviewA practical orientation to terminology and classification, particularly when read beside dated observations, specimens or technical literature. The current 83-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Hypostomus, sipaliwinii and species providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Hypostomus sipaliwinii”, the useful work is to connect “species of fish” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6404794. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
