*) In the original description of P. parananus, SIJΑ*©Ρ (1882) lists the type locality simply as ‘South America, (Parana)’.The name Parana could be associated with a variety of geographic and political entities in the 19 th century.While GUඌτΑΓඌƟΝ et al. (2016) followed GUḖƟ*©ǤUι*úඏ (1972) and BĿΑർĸඐ*úĿĐ*ú*© (1944 interpretingin) SIJΑ*©Ρ’s (1882) locality as referring to Paraná, Entre Ríos, Argentina, however, we find it more likely this is actually in reference to Paraná State, Brazil (NιĿඌඌƟΝ & HǍ*°*úĸ 2020), and have updated the checklist to the South American Platynectes species.

Distribution. This species has been recorded across Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana.

Remarks. The species was previously reported from Brownsberg Nature Park in Suriname. The Kabalebo specimens represent a new locality record in Suriname.
