Ranatra siolii
De Carlo, 1970
Geographical distribution:
Brazil
.
Distribution in
Brazil
: North and Central-West regions (PA, AM, MT) (
De Carlo 1970
;
Nieser 1975
).
Comments: This species was described based on specimens from “río Xingú, lago Canay-urá,” a locality that was associated with AM by
De Carlo (1970)
and
Bachmann (1999)
. The Xingu River flows from MT to PA, and does not run through AM. The term “Canay-urá” probably corresponds to Camaiurá [=Kamayura or Kamayurá], the name of an indigenous tribe which nowadays inhabits the northeastern portion of MT, where the lake on which the type-specimens were collected is probably located.
