"Tonina," Humboldt, 1889, Personal narrative of travels to the equinoctial 

 regions of America (Ross, transl.), 1: 160; 2: 142, 164, 342, 350 

 [Venezuela (Rio Manzanares, Cumana; San Fernando de Apure,

Types : Three of several skeletons received by the Wurtemburg Natura- 

 liensammlung, Stuttgart. According to Williams (1928, Zoologica, 

 7: 105), a female (skin, skeleton, and foetus) is believed to be one of the 

 original series and is still preserved in the Stuttgart Museum as no. 1122. 

 However, Slijper (1938, Bull. Mus. Hist. Nat. Belgique, 14 [10]: 19) 

 states that 3 cotypes originally were received by the Stuttgart Museum 

 and then presented to P. J. Van Beneden, who gave one to the Belgian 

 Museum. The remaining two specimens are now in the Louvain Museum. 

 They were collected in 1858 by Kappler (see also Van Beneden, 1868, 

 Bull. Acad. Roy. Sci. Belgique, 25: 96, 115). 



Type locality: Suriname (p. 27, original description), Guiane (p. 34), 

 Cayenne (p. 35) ; restricted to mouth of Suriname River by E. Van Beneden 

 (1875, Mem. Acad. Roy. Belgique, 41: 8, 43). Williams (supra cit.) 

 states that, according to records of the Stuttgart Museum, the actual 

 collecting locality is the Maroni or Marowijne River on the eastern border 

 of Suriname. 



Distribution : Coast and rivers of the Guianas and Venezuela, includ- 

 ing Lake Maracaibo.
