Relevant Information: |
Tatia luisae is known only from three localities corresponding to an Extent of Occurrence (EOO) of approximately 2,500 km2. However, individuals of T. luisae were abundant near the Pimental rapids and Buburé Community. Additionally, continuing population decline was not observed, as well as area of occupancy, quality of habitat, and number of locations or subpopulations. Therefore, T. luisae can be classified as Least Concern (LC) according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) categories and criteria (IUCN Standards and Petitions Committee, 2022). (Ribeiro et al 2022). Etymology: The specific epithet luisae is in honour to the Brazilian ichthyologist Luisa M. Sarmento-Soares, in recognition of her many contributions to the systematics of Neotropical catfishes of the subfamily Centromochlinae. A noun in the singular genitive case. |
