There is only one species recognized in the Apistogrammoides genus to date. That would be pucallpaensis. The morphilogical characteristics of the 2 genera are very similar, with the only real difference being the spines in the anal fin. 3 for apistos and 6 or more in grammoides. Simply the anal fin is bigger (longer) and covers more of the fishs' underside. There is also a unique caudal peduncle spotting in pucallpaensis, but it is not always clear.
Pretty little fish, but it looks an aweful lot like an apisto. But that's good enough for me!
