Etymology: Nannocharax: Latin, nannus = small + Greek, charax = a marine fish without identification (Ref. 45335 ) ;   luapulae: Specific name, luapulae , is named after the Luapula River, from which the holotype was collected (Ref. 129519 ) .

Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

Dorsal spines (total): 0; Dorsal soft rays (total): 12-13; Anal spines : 0; Anal soft rays : 8; Vertebrae : 39. Diagnosis: Nannocharax luapulae can be distinguished from all its congeners by the following unique combination of characters: its body colouration, which consist of 8 to 10 vertically ovoid or rounded black blotches that overlie a longitudinal mid-lateral black stripe vs. largely unpigmented body with only a black spot at the base of the caudal fin in N. hastatus , N. maculicauda and N. ocellicauda , six or seven rounded, well-spaced, mid-lateral black spots in N. gracilis , 17 black bars in N. fasciolaris , a broad black longitudinal band running on flanks along two rows of scales in N. latifasciatus , or a thin black lateral band covering only the lateral line scales, extending from snout to median rays of caudal fin in N. taenia ; a completely pored lateral line vs. incompletely pored in N. angolensis , N. dageti , N. lineostriatus , N. machadoi , N. minutus , N. monardi , N. multifasciatus , N. rubensteini , N. uniocellatus and N. wittei ; 49-55 lateral line scales vs. 38-40 scales in N. altus , 40-45 scales in N. ansorgii , 37-40 scales in N. brevis , 38-42 scales in N. fasciatus , 37-43 scales in N. hadros , 42 scales in N. hollyi , 45-48 scales in N. macropterus , 36-37 scales in N. micros , 36 scales in N. ogoensis , 36-40 scales in N. parvus , 38-43 scales in N. procatopus , 38 scales in N. pteron , 46-48 scales in N. reidi , 46-48 scales in N. signifer , 38-39 scales in N. schoutedeni , 43-44 scales in N. seyboldi , 38-44 scales in N. usongo and 39-43 scales in N. zebra ; and a dorsal-fin origin that is situated anterior, 1-2 lateral line scales, to the pelvic-fin origin vs. origin situated well behind the pelvic-fin origin in N. lineomaculatus , N. rubrolabiatus , or at the same level in N. elongatus , N. intermedius , N. niloticus and N. occidentalis (Ref. 129519 ). Nannocharax luapulae is most similar to N. chochamandai but can be distinguished from it by a low number of branched soft fin rays in dorsal and anal fins, 9-10 and 5 vs. 11-12 and 8-9; a high number of lateral ine scales, 49-55 vs. 41-46; a short pectoral fin, 18.3-20.6% of standard length, not reaching the pelvic-fin insertion but extending to the level of the anterior dorsal-fin base origin, vs. 21.6-28.4% of standard length, reaching the pelvic-fin insertion and the level of about the middle of the dorsal-fin base; a short pelvic fin, 20.0-22.9% of standard length, not reaching the anal-fin insertion but extending to about mid-level of the dorsal-adipose fin distance, vs. 24.3-30.6% of standard length, reaching the anal-fin insertion and the level of the last one fourth of the dorsal-adipose fin distance; and a short anal fin, 13.6-15.1% of standard length vs. 15.6-19.0% (Ref. 129519 ).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5000   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.1   ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
