The Luapula cisticola (Cisticola luapula) is a species of bird in the family Cisticolidae. It is found in south-central Africa. [1] [2]
The Luapula cisticola is monotypic. [3] This taxon was split from the winding cisticola by the IOC and HBW, as were the rufous-winged cisticola, coastal cisticola and Ethiopian cisticola. The Clements (2017) and Howard and Moore (2014) world lists consider these taxa as a single species, the winding cisticola C. galactotes (sensu lato). [4]
This species is found in eastern Angola, Lake Mweru (south-eastern DRC), Zambia, northern and north-eastern Namibia, northern Botswana and north-western Zimbabwe. [2]
Its natural habitats are tropical seasonally wet or flooded lowland grassland and swamps.
