03AC87FEFFC6FFE0FF38F9C5573BFAFC.taxon	description	A comprehensive search was conducted on the citizen science platform iNaturalist, focusing on the vicinity of type localities of specimens herein studied, utilising the platforms’ various tools, and paying close attention to the species’ distinctive diagnostic morphological traits, especially wing patterning. A dataset including (i) label data from specimens, (ii) literature records, and (iii) observations from iNaturalist was used to elaborate a distributional map of the studied species. The distributional data was compiled and utilised to generate a map using QGIS 2.18. 10 software (www. qgis. org).	en	Ferraz, Bernardo R., Souza-Dias, Pedro G. B.
