discussion
Discussion: Reviewed by Voss et al. (2001), who restricted the name to populations in the Guiana Region of northern South America. The name orinoci (Thomas) has been applied to populations in the Venezuelan Llanos north and west of the Orinoco by several authors (e. g., Reig et al., 1977; Linares, 1998). Apparently, that population lacks a name. The name brachyura Burnett, 1830, is an incorrect subsequent spelling of b rachyuros (Schreber).
