Notes
We have reexamined the type material of
Tonoro multispinae
González-Sponga, 2009
and confirmed its synonymy with
Litoporus uncatus
. Contrary to the original description, the
holotype
is
not
separated from the other material: 5 ♂♂, and
2 ♀♀
(?) prosomata (
not
3 ♂♂,
4 ♀♀
, as in original description), MIZA 105684 (MAGS 1177), “Carapo, base del Guaiquinima”,
480 m
a.s.l.,
17 Feb. 1990
(L. Sanabria, M.A. González S.). The type locality is approximately at
5.73° N
,
63.53° W
.
Precise coordinates are also unknown for the other two previously published Venezuelan records (
Huber 2000
): “upper Rio Yaciba” and “camp #3”. Both records are from
Dec. 1953
, suggesting that both are from the Rio Yaciba area, but we were
not
able to locate this river. The published coordinates we found vary widely (e.g.,
1.484° N
,
66.527° W
in
Carico 2008
;
0.833° N
,
66.167° W
in
Carico & Silva 2010
).

Distribution
Widely distributed in the Amazonian basin (

); in
Venezuela
only in the states of
Bolívar
and
Amazonas
(Fig. 1041).
