Comments: Found In Patula River (Ref. 244). Martin (1972) listed C. leucas in Honduras based on a photograph taken by Strong (1934) in the Patuca River. This is the only documented report of C. leucas in Honduran freshwaters. Greenfield & Thomerson (1997) referred to a C. leucas in the “Patula River”, which we assume is an error and they were in fact referring to the Patuca River (Ref. 83266).
