    It has to do with the location of the river they come from I believe.

    As Aaron suggested, the L is a location related designation. It's used for undescribed Loricariidae catfish. Once they have been described scientifically, the L number should no longer be used. Such is the case for the Leopard Frog Pleco, L134, which was recently described scientifically as Peckoltia compta.
