Diagnosis
Pseudancistrus kayabi differs from all congeners except Pseudancistrus reus by having caudal and dorsal fins with dark bars (vs. with white spots in caudal and dorsal fins). Also, the new species differs from all Pseudancistrus except Pseudancistrus nigrescens by having a dark brown body with whitish spots that fade along the posterior portion of the dorsal fin and forming mottled pattern (vs. either dark brown with conspicuous rounded spots not covering more than one plate in Pseudancistrus barbatus, Pseudancistrus corantijniensis, Pseudancistrus depressus, Pseudancistrus asurini, and Pseudancistrus zawadzkii or with dark brown bars in Pseudancistrus reus). It further differs from Pseudancistrus barbatus and Pseudancistrus depressus by having the snout with yellowish hypertrophied odontodes (vs. reddish-brown odontodes) (see Fig. 3 in De Chambrier and Montoya-Burgos 2008[1] for comparison). In addition, Pseudancistrus kayabi is distinguished by having a shorter pectoral spine, 22−30% SL (vs. 29−34% in Pseudancistrus nigrescens, 31−33% in Pseudancistrus zawadzkii, and 30−34% in Pseudancistrus barbatus); a shorter dorsal-fin base, 20−28% SL (vs. 28−29% in Pseudancistrus nigrescens, 29−31% in Pseudancistrus zawadzkii, and 28−31% in Pseudancistrus barbatus); a greater internares width, 13−19% HL (vs. 10.5−12.9% in Pseudancistrus nigrescens); head depth, 60−66% HL, greater than in Pseudancistrus nigrescens (56−57%) and in Pseudancistrus barbatus (41−53%) but smaller than in Pseudancistrus zawadzkii (67−73%); and a greater adipose-anal distance (17−25% SL vs. 15−17% in Pseudancistrus nigrescens and 12−15% in Pseudancistrus barbatus).
Description
Morphometric data is presented in Table 1. In lateral view, dorsal profile convex from snout tip to dorsal-fin origin; straight, gradually descending from dorsal-fin origin to posterior insertion of adipose fin; straight, steeply ascending to insertion of caudal-fin; ventral profile flat from snout tip to anal-fin origin; shallowly concave from anal-fin insertion to lower caudal-fin spine; greatest body depth at dorsal-fin origin. In dorsal view, greatest body width across cleithral region; snout broadly elliptical; body progressively narrow from opercular region to caudal fin. Cross-section of body between pectoral and pelvic fins rounded dorsally and flattened ventrally; cross-section of caudal peduncle ellipsoid.
Body almost entirely covered with plates except on ventral portions of head, abdomen, and dorsal-fin base. Five lateral rows of dermal plates, dorsal plates 21−22, lateral mid-dorsal plates 21−22, lateral median plates 22−23, lateral mid-ventral plates 21−22, lateral ventral plates 19−20. Three predorsal plates; eight plates below dorsal-fin base; four plates between dorsal fin and adipose fin; five rows of plates on caudal peduncle. Dorsal spinelet present.

Dorsal fin I,7, origin approximately at midpoint between pectoral- and pelvic-fin origins, last dorsal-fin ray reaching adipose fin when depressed. Pectoral fin I,6, spine tip slightly curved inward, covered with enlarged odontodes distally; depressed tip reaching one-third length of pelvic-fin spine. Pelvic fin I,5, spine tip curved inward, almost reaching anal-fin origin when depressed. Anal fin I,5, spine tip straight, reaching sixth plate posterior to its origin. Caudal fin I,7-7I, distal margin concave, inferior lobe longer than superior. Adipose fin with straight spine, preceded by single median preadipose plate.
Color in alcohol
Ground color dark brown on back and sides of body, and lighter brown ventrally. Anterior portion of head to posterior margin of orbits with many small, crowded, white spots; spots getting abruptly larger on posterior portion of head, continuing on body, fading along posterior portion of dorsal fin and forming mottled pattern. Dorsal-fin spine rays and membranes with 6−7 dark bars. Pectoral, pelvic, anal with 4−5 dark bars and caudal-fin with four dark bars. Hypertrophied odontodes along head margin yellowish.
Sexual dimorphism
Males possess a papilla posterior to urogenital opening, an attribute absent in females. Both sexes in Pseudancistrus kayabi exhibit highly hypertrophied odontodes along snout margin, as well as in other species of Pseudancistrus (Armbruster 2004b[2]).
Etymology
The specific name “kayabi” is a reference to the Kayabi indigenous people that inhabited the region of the rivers Arinos, dos Peixes and Teles Pires, in Mato Grosso State, Brazil. A noun in apposition.
Distribution
Pseudancistrus kayabi is known from the rio Teles Pires, rio Tapajós basin, municipality of Itaúba and Paranaíta, Mato Grosso State, Brazil (Fig. 2a).
