Collection remarks. The specimen was collected by the Italian explorer and zoologist Luigi Balzan (1865– 1983) and came from the collection of the Museum of Natural History in Turin ( Museo Regionale die Scienze Naturali) where additional syntypes are likely preserved. The Rio Apa is located in Paraguay as Silvestri mentioned, not in Argentina (as documented on the label) .
