other records: Pozzi (1945): Río Paraguay (without exact locality)
remarks: In addition to the record of Berg (1897) there seem to exist no further precise findings from Argentina (checked in Ringuelet et al., 1967; Miquelarena et al., 1994; Liotta, 2006).
Fisch-Muller (2003) indicated “Distribution: South America: Amazon, Essequibo, and Paraguay River basins. Countries: Brazil, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru ” as distributional range. The distribution of this species in the Paraguay river basin could not be confirmed by Bifi et al. (2009).
