Etymology: Nannocharax: Latin, nannus = small + Greek, charax = a marine fish without identification (Ref. 45335); chochamandai: The specific name 'chochamandai' is given in honour of Professor Auguste Chocha Manda, the first academic Congolese ichthyologist and aquaculture specialist active in the Katanga province and its surroundings and founding head of the Unité de recherche en Biodiversité et Exploitation durable de Zones Humides (BEZHU) at the University of Lubumbashi (UNILU); this new species for science is warmheartedly dedicated to him in gratefulness for and recognition of his passionate dedication in promoting, facilitating and supervising research on the ichthyofauna of the Upper Congo (Ref. 129519).

Duri punggung (Keseluruhan (total)) : 0; duri punggung lunak (Keseluruhan (total)) : 14 - 15; Duri dubur: 0; Sirip dubur lunak: 11 - 12; vertebrata, bertulang belakang: 37 - 38. Diagnosis: Nannocharax chochamandai can be distinguished from all its congeners by the following unique combination of characters: its body colouration, which consists of eight to 10 ovoid black blotches that overlie a longitudinal mid-lateral black stripes vs. largely unpigmented body with a black spot on the posterior portion of the caudal peduncle 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, 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; 41-46 lateral line scales vs. 38-40 scales in N. altus, 37-40 scales in N. brevis, 36-37 scales in N. micros, 36 scales in N. ogoensis, 38 scales in N. pteron, 38-39 scales in N. schoutedeni, 52-57 scales in N. elongatus, 47-53 scales in N. lineomaculatus, 50-55 scales in N. niloticus and 50-56 scales in N. occidentalis; and a dorsal-fin origin that is situated before the pelvic-fin origin vs. origin situated behind the pelvic-fin origin in N. fasciatus, N. hadros, N. procatopus, N. reidi, N. rubrolabiatus, N. seyboldi and N. signifer or situated at the level of pelvic-fin origin in N. intermedius and N. parvus (Ref. 129519). Nannocharax chochamandai has a long distance between the anus and the articulation of the first anal-fin ray, 10.1-14.9% of standard length, vs. 0.9-1.9% in N. usongo and 2.2-3.8% in N. zebra; a high number of unbranched dorsal-fin rays, 11-12 vs. 9-10 in N. hollyi and N. ansorgii; a short pectoral fin, 21.6-28.4% of standard length and the dorsal fin translucent without band vs. 28.6-31.6% of standard length and dorsal fin with two brown bands in N. macropterus (Ref. 129519). Nannocharax chochamandai is most similar to N. luapulae and can be distinguished from it by a high number of branched soft rays in dorsal and anal fin, 11-12 and 8-9 vs. 9-10 and 5; a low number of lateral line scales, 41-46 vs. 49-55; a long pectoral fin, 21.6-28.4% of standard length, reaching the pelvic-fin insertion and being situated about mid-level of the dorsal-fin base, vs. 18.3-20.6% of standard length, not reaching the pelvic-fin insertion and being situated at the level of the anterior origin of the dorsal-fin base; a long pelvic fin, 24.3-30.6% of standard length, reaching the anal-fin insertion and being situated at the level of the last quarter of the dorsal-adipose fin distance, vs. 20.0-22.9% of standard length, not reaching the anal-fin insertion and being situated about mid-level the dorsal-adipose distance; and a long anal fin, 15.6-19.0% of standard length vs. 13.6-15.1% (Ref. 129519).
