Paratypes (7): 2 ΨΨ,1 ɗ, 4 immatures (3 ΨΨ, 1 ɗ), MLP 598 (ventral plate and 6 legs of a Ψ paratype on a slide not labeled as paratype but cited as such in the original description); remaining paratype materials in alcohol, same data as type.   
 Remarks: In the original description (p. 325) the author reports as type locality: ‘ CHILE: Quebrada Macul, barrio Santiago de Chile, en el distrito de Ñuñca’ (misspelling for Ñuñoa?). According to the original description, 2 paratypes (1 Ψ and 1 ɗ) were deposited in the author’s collection.

Paratypes (8): 4 ΨΨ, 4 ɗɗ, MLP 557 (in alcohol), same data as type.   
 Remarks: The 8 specimens MLP 557 from Alta Gracia, Córdoba were labeled as paratypes by the author but this status was not established in the original description; 3 ΨΨ and 3 ɗɗ from the original sample were deposited in Schubart’s collection.   
 macul, Mikroporus granulatus   
 Schubart 1954b. Notas Mus. La Plata, Zoología. 17(154): 319. Type, ɗ, MLP 568 (legs 1, 2, 3, 4 and right gonopod on a slide; rest of the body not presently housed at MLP), CHILE: Quebrada Macul, cerca de Santiago de Chile, IX­1945, Kuschel coll.   
 Remarks: Left gonopod on a slide housed at MZUSP. In the original description, Schubart reported 1 Ψ from the type locality, not presently housed at MLP.   
 iguazuensis, Leptodesmus   
 Schubart 1954a. Notas Mus. La Plata, Zoología 17(150): 136. Type, ɗ, MLP 582 (legs 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 on a slide; gonopods on a second slide; rest of the body in alcohol), ARGENTINA: Misiones, P. Iguazú, 14/ 15­I­1944, Williner coll. Paratypes (4): 1 Ψ, 1 ɗ, 2 juveniles (1 Ψ, 1 ɗ), MLP 559 (in alcohol), same data as type except 10/ 13­XI­1944, coll.?   
 Remarks: The 4 specimens MLP 559 from Iguazú, Misiones, were labeled as paratypes by the author but this status was not established in the original description; 1 ɗ with the same data as the paratypes was deposited in Schubart’s collection.

 Remarks: The specimens that Schubart mentions in his original description are 1 ɗ and 3 ΨΨ (all with same number and data as holotype). At the MLP collection, besides the holotype ɗ, there is a vial with a label handwritten by Schubart that reads: ‘2 ΨΨ – Allotype’ containing two ΨΨ specimens (none of them individualized as allotype) and also a slide with legs 3, 7, 15 and 30 of a Ψ that presumably correspond to the allotype, but not labeled as so. According to Schubart the remaining Ψ specimen was deposited in his personal collection.

 Remarks: The sample MLP 597 is labeled as ‘ Camptomorpha missionensis’, however in the original description the species is named: ‘ Camptomorpha missiones’, even if under the subtitle ‘Observaciones’ (p. 119) the species is referred to as C. missionensis. In the original description, the collecting date of holotype is lacking, but the label of MLP 597 indicates ‘10/ 13­XI­1944 ’.
