Notes:—In the protologue of Oligocladus andinus, Chodat & Wilczek (1902) do not indicate a type, but they cite a specimen likely collected by Wilczek from Argentina, Mendoza: “Laguna, Río Manga, s.n.” Despite our numerous attempts to find the type specimen by contacting curators of G and LAU herbaria, and by searching at JSTOR global plants website, the specimen was not found. The only original material left is an illustration of the fruit of the species cited in the protologue, which we designate here as lectotype following Article 9.12 (ICN; McNeill et al., 2012). The figure (a dorsal view of the fruit), however is not enough for the precise application of the name to this taxon, and therefore we also designate an epitype to serve as an interpretative type (Art. 9.8 ICN; McNeill et al. 2012). The specimen selected is Zuloaga 12269 (SI) because this material agrees with the protologue, is complete, and was collected at the same province as the specimen collected by Wilczek.
