Eponymy: The Awajun people, better known by the name Aguaruna, the second-largest native population in the Peruvian Amazon, occupy a portion of the Río Morona basin (Departamento Loreto, Peru), where these fish occur. INPA is the acronym for Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, which helped fund the authors’ field work (Aguarunichthys inpai) and whose staff supplied Ploeg with ‘enormous amounts of material’ which served partially as the basis for his [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
