The other three are  L. sparsa curoeiSoula and Curoe, 2005(in Soula 2005) (recorded from Panama),  L. sparsa littoralis Ohaus, 1903(recorded from Brazil) and  L. sparsa sparsa Ohaus, 1903(recorded from Colombia). Subspecies   Lagochile sparsa guyanensis Soula, 2005     Lagochile sparsa guyanensis Soula 2005: 348( French Guiana)   Distribution. Suriname: Blackwelder 1944: 243(as  L. sparsa); MHCN; RMNH.  French Guiana: Blackwelder 1944: 243(as  L. sparsa); Soula 2005: 348, 2010a: 58; Brûlé and Touroult 2013: 40; Brûlé et al. 2014: 182.  Brazil: Blackwelder 1944: 243(as  L. sparsa). Other: Ohaus 1934: 161(Central America, Colombia, Ecuador- as  L. sparsa); Blackwelder 1944: 243( Colombia, Ecuador, Nicaragua- as  L. sparsa); Machatschke 1972: 81(Central America, Colombia, Ecuador- as  L. sparsa); Soula 2009: 19(none - picture).  Note.Before the description of  Lagochile sparsa guyanensisin Soula (2005: 348), specimens from the Guianas were identified as belonging to the species s. l. Based on the text of Soula (2005)we consider this subspecies endemic to the research area, where it might well be the only occurring subspecies.
