Ceratobranchia binghami Eigenmann, 1927:357 , Pl. 96 (fig. 1). Type locality: Santa Ana , Rio Urubamba. [Santa Ana is possibly an allusion to the district of Santa Ana which encompasses the lower lands and Andean piedmont of the Cusco Department with its main city being Quillabamba (12°51’52.2”S, 72°41’36.5”W), Peru. The coordinates of the type locality estimated in Chernoff, Machado-Allison (1990) are slightly mis-calculated, leading to a mountain top instead of the Río Urubamba]. Holotype: MCZ 31561 .
