Described as related to A. sanctipaulensis, A. lindberghi, and A. azarae (Hershkovitz, 1998), but gene-sequence data suggest closer affinity to A. cursor-A. montensis (Geise et al., 2001). Status with respect to A. paranaensis and to A. reigi, which are morphologically very similar and have the same diploid number (Christoff et al., 2000; González et al., 1998), should be revi...
