Note 1: According to Janson (1877a) and Ratcliffe (1978), the type locality of A. hypoglauca, originally given as Nicaragua, is probably erroneous. Nevertheless, one specimen in the Burmeister Collection was labeled with this country.

Note 2: According to Ratcliffe (1978), Brazil (indicated by Blackwelder 1944, Schenkling 1921, and Krajčík 1998), is probably also erroneous.
