Comments. The original description and comments were presented in Fernandes et al. (2015). Here we present photographs of the holotype in dorsal and ventral views. Also, a plate with photographs of the male and female external genitalia, because the original description presents only hand-drawn drawings. See comments of E. (E.) bella .
