Satanoperca mapiritensis
Cichlidae · Fernández-Yépez, 1950
Recent genetic research has revealed there to be a possibility that although S. mapiritensis is genetically distinct from S. leucosticta, it may turn out to be conspecific with S. jurupari and S. rhynchitis. There appears to be no clear genetic separation between these three putative species nor a form known to aquarists as S. sp. 'Negro-Alto Orinoco' which replaces S. mapiritensis in the middle and upper Orinoco, Casiquiare Canal, and upper rio Negro.
