| Author: | Thomas, 1903. | | Citation: | Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 7, 11: 489. | | Common Name: | Paraguayan Hocicudo | | Type Locality: | Paraguay, Paraguarí Dept., Sapucaí. | | Distribution: | E Paraguay, SC Brazil. | | Status: | IUCN – Lower Risk (lc). | | Comments: | Provisionally retained as a species by Reig (1987), who questioned its distinction from O. rufus. Genetically well delineated from O. rufus and sister species to O. amazonicus according to phylogenetic analysis of cytochrome b data (Hoffmann et al., 2002). Distributional limits uncertain: not recorded for the Brazilian fauna by Fonseca et al. (1996) but mapped as broadly distributed in SC Brazil by Hoffmann et al. (2002). |
