Material examined. BRASIL, Maranhão, Caxias, Pé do Morro, 04°36'48"S, 43°04'04"W, Arm.[adilha] Malaise, 12–25.iii.1997, F.L. Oliveira (1♂ CZMA); idem, Mirador, Parque Est.[adual] do Mirador, Base dos Cágados, 06°48'29"S, 45°06'34"W, Armadilha de Malaise, 27.ix–02.x.2011, F. Limeira-de-Oliveira & D.W.A. Marques (1♂ CZMA).

Remarks. Type material has been studied by Rafael (1987, 1988), who also redescribed and illustrated E. lindneri . Figures 97–113 included here should enable a better identification of this species.

Variations. When compared with the redescription and figures given in Rafael (1987, 1988), the specimens from Maranhão state do not have a S-shaped membranous area (straight instead) and their apex of left surstylus is narrower than the figure 85 of Rafael (1988). For the time being, these variations are considered as geographical variation.

Distribution. Brazil: Maranhão (new record, Cerrado Biome), Mato Grosso, São Paulo; Bolívia, Argentina.
