Lugubria is a South American cichlid genus in the tribe Geophagini. It was introduced by four South American ichthyologists and their Swedish colleague S. O. Kullander, and the name is a near-tautonym of the chosen type species. Previously, the species placed in Lugubria belonged to the genus Crenicichla[1] and formed the Crenicichla lugubris species complex.[2] The genus occurs throughout the Amazon Basin, in the catchment of the Orinoco and in the coastal rivers of the three Guyanas.[1]
