Claps & Rossi (1997) Record numbers: Argentina : 11, Brazil : 1, Peru : 1, Suriname : 11, Uruguay : 1; total: 25. Remarks: Reports for both Pseudobiotus augusti and Isohypsibius augusti are included here as taxonomic confusion of the original P. augusti description has left the records split between Pseudobiotus and Thulinius . It is highly probable that records belong to both genera (Bertolani et al. 1999, Nelson et al. 1999). Marcus (1939) is the only Neotropical report for an otherwise Palaearctic Pseudobiotus megalonyx ( McInnes 1994a ) , suggesting all South American records require re-examination.
