Distinct from geoffroyi; see Molinari et al. (2023). Considered a synonym or subspecies of geoffroyi by Thomas (1893), Sanborn (1933), and numerous others until recognized as a distinct species by Mantilla-Meluk and Baker (2010). Subsequent analyses by Calderón-Acevedo (2019) and Calderón-Acevedo et al. (2021, 2022) suggested that peruana was, in fact, a synonym or subspecies of geoffroyi. Molinari et al. (2023) provide a detailed review of the results of Calderón-Acevedo et al. (2022), and we follow their recommendation, along with the work of Mantilla-Meluk and Baker (2010), in recognizing peruna here. Includes lasiopyga, previously considered a subspecies of geoffroyi, as a valid subspecies; see Molinari et al. (2023). Includes apolinari; see Sanborn (1933) and Mantilla-Meluk and Baker (2010). Includes antricola; see Sanborn (1933). See also Vargas-Arboleda et al. (2020). The type of peruana may be lost; see Carter and Dolan (1978) and Turni and Kock (2008). For information on the type of lasiopyga see Arroyo-Cabrales and Gardner (2003). Although no type locality more specific than Peru was given with the original description, a later publication (Tschudi, 1845: 85) gives the locality as "Hacienda der Cejaregion 5000' ü. M. am Ostabhange der Binnencordillera", or Junín, Peru (Griffiths and Gardner, 2008).
