Remarks

The name Macrodactylus gaujoni was used by Ohaus (1909: 95) for small black specimens with long, red legs collected on “Hormillos”, 3000 m, Loja Eastern Cordillera, between San Francisco River (tributary of Zamora River) and Loja municipality (Ecuador). Macrodactylus gaujoni Ohaus, 1909 was an available name, and is probably the senior synonym of Manodactylus gaujoni Moser, 1919 , but the type series of the former species was not found and further studies are needed to solve this nomenclatural problem.
