(Figure 6 (B–F))

Records in PNM da Cidade sta. 11, 10 September 2022 [1 spm, MNRJ 24292]; sta . 14, 22 December 2022 [2 spm].

Remarks

The COI divergence (p-distance: 4.1%, for 653 nt) between the present DNA sequence and that from Praia Grande, São Paulo state (Salvador et al. 2023), demands further investigation whether C. aurisleporis is constituted of more than one species or whether it has a considerable population structure.

Geographic distribution

Brazil: Bahia, Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro states (Simone 2006; Salvador et al. 2023), including the city of Rio de Janeiro (Lanzieri and Almeida 1964).
