Conservation: CITES – Appendix I; U.S. ESA – Endangered as L. longicaudis (incl. platensis); IUCN – Data Deficient.
Discussion: Van Zyll de Jong (1972) included annectens, enudris, incarum, mesopetes, and platensis; however, Pohle (1920 a), Cabrera (1957), and Harris (1968) recognized these as distinct species. These taxa (often referred to as the annectens group) were distinguished primarily by variation in the shape of the rhinarium; van Zyll de Jong's (1972) analysis suggested that these should be considered conspecific. Reviewed by Larivière (1999 b). Synonyms allocated according to Hall (1981) and Larivière (1999 b).
