Voucher specimens for most South American samples were deposited in museum collections. Species are listed according to South American suprageneric groups (see Kullander's cichlid web page). The collection numbers are preceded by INPA for the specimens deposited at the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia, Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil; MPEG for the specimens deposited at the Museu Paraense Emilio Goeldi, Belém, Pará, Brazil; MCP for the specimens deposited at the Museu de Coleçâo de Peixes de Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil; ZUEC for the specimens deposited at the Museu de História Natural da Universidade Estadual de Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil.
