Note.
Frey (1970: 141)
gives as the
type
locality of
Isonychus striolatus
only Mt. Roraima, which is the tristate border point of
Guyana
,
Brazil
and
Venezuela
.
Evans and Smith (2009: 246)
place the location in
Brazil
. However, only about five percent of Mt.
Roraima
is within
Brazil
, while about 10 and 85 percent is within the territories of, respectively,
Guyana
and
Venezuela
. The actual
type
locality may be in either one of those countries and might be revealed by studying the diaries of the expedition on which the
type
specimens were found.
