Type material. Male holotype from Serra do Caraça [20°7'60.00"S 43°30'0.00"W], Minas Gerais, Brazil, 12–23.XI.1961, U. Martins-Lenko and R. Kloss, deposited in MZSP (6688). Paratypes: Brazil. Minas Gerais: (Serra do Cipó) [19°12'31.53"S 43°46'59.87"W], 1 male ( MNRJ 1775).

Etymology. The specific name refers the classic samba tune “teleco-teco”, interpreted by Cyro Monteiro in his Long Play “Sr. Samba” (Mr. Samba) released in 1961, the year in which the holotype was collected.

Diagnosis. Males of Corinna telecoteco n. sp. are similar to those of C. ziriguidum n. sp. by the combined presence of a small median process on the prolateral surface of the RTA and the tegular process inserted closely to the embolar base, but differ by presenting the median process on prolateral surface of the RTA directed apically, and the tegular process curved prolateraly ( Figs. 43–44 ).
