Previously included in caudifer but distinct; see Mantilla-Meluk and Baker (2006), Pacheco et al. (2018), and Molinari et al. (2023). For a discussion of Jarrín-V. and Kunz (2008), Calderón-Acevedo (2019), and Calderón-Acevedo et al. (2022), who found that aequatoris is a synonym of caudifer, see Molinari et al. (2023).
