Peckoltia multispinis, commonly known as the bristlemouth catfish, is a species of small freshwater fish in the genus Peckoltia of the catfish family Loricariidae. It has the L-number L049.[2] It is possibly a junior synonym for Peckoltia vittata (Steindachner, 1881).[2][3] However, the online Encyclopedia of Life lists this fish as Lasiancistrus multispinis.[4] The California Academy of Sciences lists Peckoltia multispinis as the currently correct name.[5] This species is not to be confused with the valid but unrelated species Ancistrus multispinis, and although A. multispinis has been used as a name for both this species (now a member of Peckoltia) and the one it is currently used for, A. multispinis was initially described as a member of the now-invalid genus Xenocara and was classified under that genus when this species was first described as a member of Ancistrus. Because of this, Ancistrus multispinis is a valid name, but not one that should be used for P. multispinis.[6]
