Etymology: Characidium: Diminutive of Charax, -akos = a fish without identification (Ref. 45335); nupelia: Named for Nupélia (Núcleo de Pesquisas em Limnologia, Ictiologia e Aqüicultura), in recognition of its role in the survey and ecological research of the fish fauna from the Manso Reservoir region, which led to the discovery of this species..

Short description Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία

Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 12 - 13; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 9; Σπόνδυλοι: 33. Belongs to a group of species, including Characidium xavante, distinguished uniquely by having high number (12-18) of dark, vertical bars on the body, each bar having the width of a scale. Differs from Characidium xavante by a greater number of scales around the caudal peduncle (12 vs. 10), narrower interorbital region (interorbital distance 20.5-28.6 vs. 30.1-38.0% HL) and deeper caudal peduncle (caudal peduncle depth 46.2-57.8% vs. 35.4-44.9% HL). Additional conspicuous external characters which are not unique but are useful in the identification of this species include absence of adipose fin, incomplete lateral line, and presence a dark blotch on the caudal peduncle (Ref. 75787).
