Werner, (2004);
The smallest known Ancistrus of the plains, whose first import caused quite a roar. Aquarium-bred specimens hardly ever grow larger than 2 inches, and develop sexual characteristics at only 1 inch. The species has a relatively wide body and is variably dark brown with irregular light-colored spots. The males of L 352 have standard-shaped tentacles on their head, which start branching as the fish grow older.
