Remarks. The history of Taeniotes amazonum is very confused and complicated ( Santos-Silva & Tavakilian 2017). Therefore, we will limit ourselves to providing only basic information. Thomson (1857a) described T. amazonum based on syntypes male and female from “Amazon.” Santos-Silva & Tavakilian (2017) designated lectotype and reported: “However, only the specimen chosen as lectotype has a label with the locality ( Fig. 2 : “ Bresil ”.) Kolbe (1888) described Taeniotes scalaris var. azoricus based on syntypes from Azores. Kolbe (1888) did not specify the number of specimens. However, as he provided Drouet (1859) as a reference, who mentioned that the species was introduced in Azores, there were syntypes and not a holotype, as was incorrectly reported in Sama (2006), Tavakilian & Chevillotte (2023), and Monné (2024b). Martins & Santos-Silva (2012) described T. monnei based on males and females from Brazil (Pernambuco, Bahia, Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul) and Argentina (Misiones). Santos-Silva & Tavakilian (2017) synonymized T. scalaris azoricus and T. monnei with T. amazonum .

Currently, it is known from Brazil (Pernambuco, Bahia, Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul), Bolivia (Beni and Santa Cruz), and Argentina (Misiones) ( Monné 2024b; Tavakilian & Chevillotte).
