Remarks.

Measurements of the specimens collected are similar to those of the original description, except for the longer r3 and R1 (2 for the holotype). The calyx of the spermatheca is shorter than reported by Lofego et al. (2009) for specimens from São Paulo state [14 (12-15)]. Measurements of male specimens fit the measurements of the allotype male and those of Lofego et al. (2004).
