Comments.
The female imagoes of
C.
(
C.
)
radiatus
,
C. viviparus
and
C. camposi
are similar and could not be distinguished based on re-evaluation of the morphological evidence. However, as stated in the comments of
C. camposi
, the
type
locality of
C. viviparus
can be accessed and new specimens can be collected in the future.
García (2014)
recorded
C.
(
Callibaetis
)
radiatus
in
Venezuela
based on reared specimens (female, male and its nymphal exuviae). Taking into account the similarity between
C.
(
C.
)
radiatus
,
C. viviparus
and
C. camposi
and, in order to enable the comparisons to confirm this record, we re-describe and present new diagnosis and illustrations of the nymph described by
Salles
et al.
(2003)
, as well figures of the specimen originally described by Navás (1920), here designated as
lectotype
(
Figs. 11
A–11D).

Recently,
Lima
et al.
(2016)
and
Vinasco-Mondragón & Zúñiga (2016)
recorded
C.
(
C.
)
radiatus
respectively from
Bahia
state (
Brazil
) and
Colombia
, all based on female imagoes. Taking into account the morphological evidence here presented, both 2016 records of
C. radiatus
could be applicable to
C. viviparus
or
C. camposi
. Associations between stages should be made in order to confirm or refute these records.
