Poptella fuscata, a new Stethaprionini from the upper Amazon basin, Peru (Characiformes: Characidae).
2021
A new species of Poptella is described from the Rio Putumayo, Upper Rio Amazon basin, Peru. The new species is distinguished from congeners by having a dense field of dark chromatophores homogeneously spread over the posterior half of the body, posterior humeral blotch extending to three to four horizontal scale rows below the lateral line, and a higher number of branched dorsal-fin rays. The new species can be readily distinguished from P. paraguayensis by having a comparatively shorter predorsal spine.
