Discussion: Species closely related to, perhaps conspecific with sanborni (see Osgood, 1943; Pine et al., 1979); also see A. lanosus . Pearson (1984) assigned Chelemys angustus to synonymy of A. longipilis ; other synonyms follow Osgood (1943) and Reig (1987). Subspecific distributions in Chile sketched by Muñoz Pedreras (2000); easternmost records in Patagonian Argentina (Río Negro and Chubut Provs.) reported by Teta et al. (2002).
