Etymology: Nannostomus: Latin, nannus = small + Greek, stoma = mouth (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Sir John Burchmore Harrison (1856–1928) was the Government Geologist, Georgetown, British Guiana (Guyana) and Director, Department of Science and Agriculture, British Guiana at the time of Eigenmann’s 1908 expedition. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Issue
The most recent distributional records were published by Weitzman & Weitzman (1982: Fig. 229). Most recent systematic descriptions are by Weitzman (1966) and Weitzman & Cobb (1975). Weitzman & Cobb (1975) published photographs of growth stages of juveniles demonstrating that Archicheir minutus is a juvenile of Nannostomus harrisoni. Occasionally exported as an aquarium fish, Weitzman et al. (2001).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00631 (0.00270 - 0.01474), b=3.08 (2.88 - 3.28), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.3 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
