discussion
Remarks: de Santana, Vari (2010 b: 295) supported the observation by Campos-da-Paz (2000) that the apparent syntypes of Sternarchus (Rhamphosternarchus) curvirostris are substantially longer than that stated in the original description. They further noted that no other specimen (s) of a length that better matched the one reported by Boulenger were found at BMNH. Distribution: Bobanaza River, Ecuador and, possibly, northeastern Peru (de Santana, Vari, 2010 b).
