Diagnosis: Hypostomus pyrineusi is distinguished from most members of the H. cochliodon   ZBK group except some H. cochliodon   ZBK , H. levis , H. ericius   ZBK , H. oculeus , and H. taphorni by having 0-10 (usually 0; Fig. 2B) odontodes on the opercle (vs. 11 or more). Hypostomus pyrineusi further differs from H. hemicochliodon   ZBK and H. sculpodon   ZBK by lacking a ridge on the pterotic-supracleithrum (Fig. 5B), by the presence of large, spoonshaped teeth (vs. teeth intermediate; Fig. 1C vs. B), and a lack of a buccal papilla; from H. ericius   ZBK , H. hemicochliodon   ZBK , H. oculeus , and H. sculpodon   ZBK by lacking strong, sharp keels on the lateral plates; from H. levis by having an adipose fin; from H. cochliodon   ZBK by having the spots more numerous and close-set on the body (vs. spots absent or widely spaced); and from H. taphorni by having pigmentation on the lobes of the caudal fin equally distributed (vs. lower lobe darker than upper).

Description: See Hypostomus cochliodon   ZBK group description for more details. Morphometric data given in Table 5. Body typically almost entirely dark brown with medium to large spots present. Spots on head fairly large when compared to those of H. hondae , H. pagei   ZBK , and H. taphorni . Spots increasing in size and fading posteriorly, absent on caudal peduncle. Spots on abdomen typically large, some specimens with medium-sized spots, spots never as small as in H. taphorni ; (Fig. 22). Spots occasionally absent and entire fish dark brown (almost black). Caudal fin may be entirely spotted, but caudal-fin membranes and rays typically black or black distally and light proximally; caudal-fin spines typically spotted although some specimens with entirely black caudal-fin spines; caudal fin not bicolored. Abdomen colored as sides, sometimes slightly lighter. Color in juveniles as in adults, but spots comparatively larger and abdomen generally white and unspotted.

Dorsal fin short, rarely reaching preadipose plate when depressed. Depressed pectoralfin spine ventral to pelvic fin reaches 2-3 plates beyond pelvic-fin rays. Tip of pectoral-fin spine of nuptial males with stout, recurved, hypertrophied odontodes.

Keels weak to moderately developed. Orbits forming moderate ridge slightly raised above medial surface of head; ridges of dorsal and lateral aspect of head fairly well-developed. Longitudinal ridge on pterotic-supracleithrum beginning at posterodorsal corner of eye formed from raised bone and slightly larger odontodes absent. Opercle usually supporting no odontodes, but occasionally one to three odontodes are present. Nuptial body odontodes present (Fig. 2B). Plates in skin anterior to dorsal-fin spine absent or few (Fig. 6A; Table 7).

Each jaw with 5-14 teeth (mode = 8), teeth large and spoon-shaped. Average angle between dentaries 55° (SD = 7°; range: 43°-69°, N=30). Lateral line plates 26-31; dorsal plates 8-9; interdorsal plates 4-7; adipose caudal plates 9-16.

Range: Found in the Río Madeira drainage of Bolivia and Brazil, the Ríos Napo, Ucayali, Marañon and upper Río Amazonas drainage of Peru, and the Río Napo drainage of Ecuador, (Fig. 8). Hypostomus pyrineusi is sympatric with H. ericius   ZBK , H. hemicochliodon   ZBK , and H. oculeus and is potentially sympatric with H. levis .
