Remarks. The material of Paranthura urochroma deposited at Museu Nacional as voucher number MNRJ 6278 is actually a topotype. It came from the same collection event as the holotype at Enseada do Flamengo, Ubatuba, SP collected by Pires in September 1975. At some point in the past, Pires sent this material to be deposited at the MNRJ as a paratype; unfortunately she did not include this information within the article ( Pires, 1981), so this material remains a topotype.
