, calls into question the long-assumed taxonomic value and phylogenetic distribution of this character. These two species have similarly broad, pan-Amazonian, apparently overlapping distributions. Molecular data should help to clarify whether their shared morphologies are due to convergence of separate lineages or the loss or gain of foveae within a lineage.
