Note.
Before the description of
Lagochile sparsa guyanensis
in
Soula (2005: 348)
, specimens from the Guianas were identified as belonging to the species s. l. Based on the text of
Soula (2005)
we consider this subspecies endemic to the research area, where it might well be the only occurring subspecies.
