Dekeyseria picta L168

The species used to be called Zonancistrus brachyurus. With the redescription by Silva and Rapp Py-Daniel (2018, Redescription of Dekeyseria picta (Siluriformes; Loricariidae), a poorly known ancistrin from the Amazon and Orinoco Basins. Journal of Fish Biology doi:10.1111/jfb.13603) is now called something else, we have to re-learn. Always these systematisers 😉
