03BD87DEFF8F382DD14861F294CCD5AF.taxon	discussion	Remarks: Described from two specimens (Camerano 1897), this species requires thorough revision. Initially considered a pair of females by Camerano, they were later identified as two males by Bouvier (1905). Until recently, it was only known from the type locality. However, a recent report documented Oroperipatus balzani from a specimen collected in the State of Acre, Brazil, nearly 1000 km north of the type locality. This specimen is housed at the Museu Nacional de Rio de Janeiro (MNRJ) (Sampaio-Costa et al., 2009). Nevertheless, we treat this record cautiously due to the commonly accepted restricted distribution of most Onychophora.	en	Sarmiento, Jaime, Barrera, Soraya, Mariscal, Alberto, Saj, Stéphane (2025): Over a century later, new records of Oroperipatus balzani (Camerano, 1897; Onychophora: Peripatidae) from Sara Ana Research and Training Center (Bolivian Yungas, La Paz, Bolivia), with a checklist of the species known from the country.

03BD87DEFF8C382DD2A963C19244D061.taxon	discussion	Remarks: Described by Bouvier (1901) from a female specimen collected in Bolivia and housed at the Natural History Museum of Lübeck, Germany. The museum was severely damaged during World War II, and the collection material, including type material, was destroyed. We could not ascertain the survival of the type specimen for O. intermedius. Nevertheless, obtaining new collections to elucidate taxonomic and biological information about this species is imperative.	en	Sarmiento, Jaime, Barrera, Soraya, Mariscal, Alberto, Saj, Stéphane (2025): Over a century later, new records of Oroperipatus balzani (Camerano, 1897; Onychophora: Peripatidae) from Sara Ana Research and Training Center (Bolivian Yungas, La Paz, Bolivia), with a checklist of the species known from the country.
