Etymology: Hypostomus: Greek, hypo = under + Greek, stoma = mouth (Ref. 45335); sculpodon: From the Latin sculpo (to carve, cut, grave, or chisel in stone, brass, or wood) and from the Greek odon (tooth) in reference to the ability of the species to chisel wood with the teeth.

Breve descrizione
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Distinguished from all other members of the Hypostomus cochliodon group except H. hemicochliodon by having a buccal papilla and intermediately developed teeth (juveniles of H. cochliodon and H. taphorni occasionally also have intermediate teeth). Differs from H. hemicochliodon by having brownish-red coloration with widely spaced spots vs. dark brown with closely spaced spots, by having a smaller dorsal-anal length to anal-fin length ratio (average=79.2%, 69.6-89.7% vs. average=111.1%, 92.5-132.6%) and almost completely by having a smaller interorbital width/HL ratio (average=51.4%, 38.5-45.4% vs. average=49.9%, 44.1-55.6%) (Ref. 50589).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274)
