Comments: Northern Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru (Rogers et al. 2020). Brtek, in his 1997 catalogue, had the following statement after both L. titicacae and L. tucumanensis : “(the pertinence to this genus is uncertain) – probably gen. nov.” but provided no explanation as to his conclusion. Naganawa (2001b) following Brtek’s (1997) lead, made the statement that he “agrees” with Brtek, after “reconfirming” the original records, and “… the fact that at present I have enough evidence to justify in establishing…” moving these taxa to new two genera Brtekia and Straskrabia , respectively. This move was criticised in Rogers et al. (2020) and the taxonomy revised based on examination of material.
