Aramides Pucheran

381. cf. Aramides sp.

Late Holocene – SC

Aramides – Ferrasso and Schmitz 2010: 75.

cf. Aramides sp. – Schmitz and Ferrasso 2011: 147, fig. 5C.

cf. Aramides sp. – Ferrasso and Schmitz 2013: 130.

Schmitz and Ferrasso (2011) reported the distal end of a tibiotarsus comparable to this genus from the Guarani site Itapiranga I (SC-U-1) in Itapiranga, Santa Catarina. The occurrence of this genus in the site was previously mentioned by Ferrasso and Schmitz (2010). The material was discovered in January 1957 and is deposited in the IAP/ Unisinos collection.

382. Aramides sp. 1

Quaternary – MG

Aramides sp. ( cayennensis v. serracura ) – Winge 1887: 25–26. Aramides spec. ( cayennensis ) – Goeldi 1894: 559.

Aramides cayanea (“oder A. serracura ”) – Lambrecht 1933: 760. Aramides cajanea – Brodkorb 1967: 133.

Aramides cajanea – Mones 1986: 86.

Aramides cajanea – Cuello 1988: 42.

Aramides sp. – Nascimento and Silveira 2020: 492.

Winge (1887) reported a humerus from “various caves” [26] and a femur from an unknown locality as classifiable under Aramides cajaneus . However, he noted that, due to their significant similarity to Aramides saracura and the lack of a significant number of specimens for comparison, it was not possible to determinate it at the species level.

Brodkorb (1967) and, following him, Cuello (1988) listed the material as from “Lapa da Escrivania?”, probably due to Winge (1887: 12) having listed the taxon under “I Lapa da Escrivania Nr. 5 mangle blot fØlgende” (“In Lapa da Escrivânia V only the following are missing”).

383. Aramides sp. 2

Early Holocene – GO

Aramides sp. – Dias 2004b: 255.

Aramides sp. – Rosa 2004: 260.

Dias (2004b) and Rosa (2004) reported this genus from the GO-JA-01 rock shelter in Serranópolis, Goiás. The material is deposited in the IAP/Unisinos collection.

384. Aramides sp. 3

Late Holocene – RS

Aramides sp. – Rosa 2006b: 231.

Rosa (2006b) reported two bones from level 4 of the Chácara do Leão (RS-LC-96) site in Palmares do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul. The material is deposited in the IAP/Unisinos collection .

385. Aramides sp. 4

Middle Holocene – SC

Aramides sp. – Mendes and Rodrigues 2024: 8.

Mendes and Rodrigues (2024) associated with this genus four bones of at least two individuals from the Congonhas I (SC-LS-30) sambaqui in Tubarão, Santa Catarina .

386. Aramides cajaneus Statius Müller

Late Holocene – RJ

Aramides cajanea – Lima and Silva 1984: 29–30.

Lima and Silva (1984) reported remains from the Ilha de Santana site in Macaé, Rio de Janeiro, dated 1,260±330 years BP. The material includes at least 13 individuals and is represented by a complete synsacrum; the humerus: three complete right ones, one almost complete, five almost complete left ones, part of a right diaphysis, and part of a left diaphysis; the ulna: two complete left ones and a distal left half; the femur: three left ones (two complete and one almost complete), four almost complete right ones, a partial diaphysis, the distal left half, and the proximal right half; the tibiotarsus: two complete right ones, a complete left one, two proximal right halves, two proximal right ends, a proximal left end, two partial diaphyses (one right), two proximal partial diaphyses (one right), a distal half of the left diaphysis, two right distal halves, three right distal parts, a left distal part, and a right distal fragment; and the tarsometatarsus: five left ones (three complete and two almost complete), a complete right one, a distal right half, and the proximal part of the right dyaphisis.

387. Aramides saracura (Spix)

Late Holocene – RJ

Aramides saracura – Kneip et al. 1986: 82.

Aramides saracura – Vogel 1987: 231, 237, fig. 2.

Kneip et al. (1986) reported this species from layer 1 of Sambaqui Zé Espinho “A” in Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, dated 1,510±160 years BP. The material, excavated in 1983, comprises a complete skull ( Vogel 1987) and is deposited in the MN.
