| Quote | The report of A. leptorhynchus from the Río Claro, a left bank tributary of the lower Río Caroni, by Taphorn & García Tenía, 1991 may be based on samples of A. pemon, which is the only member of the species-group known from that river system. The same may be the case with the report of A. leptorhynchus from the Gran Sabana region of the upper Rio Caroni basin by Lasso et al., 1989. |
