Cluzobra lanei Edwards

( Fig. 7 )

C. lanei Edwards, 1940: 463 , fig. 4 (wing photo). Type –locality: Brazil, State of Mato Grosso, Salobra. Ref. – Matile, 1996: 32, figs. 30 (ɗ terminalia), 64 (Ψ terminalia). Distr. – Brazil (Mato Grosso, São Paulo). Holotype ɗ, NHM.

Material examined. Holotype ɗ, BRAZIL, State of Mato Grosso, Salobra, 56° 28’ 60” W 20° 12’ 60” S. Additional specimens: 1 ɗ, BRAZIL, State of São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto, Campus da USP, Malaise, 47° 51’ 60” W 21° 26’ 60” S, 27.vii–13.ix.2003, H.F. Mendes col.; 1 ɗ, BRAZIL, State of São Paulo, Santo Anastácio, 48° 45’ 56” W 24° 13’ 10” S, P. Forattini, viii.1954.

Comments. Matile (1996) refers to a female from Nicaragua that supposedly corresponds to the description of C. lanei . As mentioned elsewhere in this paper, association of males and females in the genus is still difficult and, though correct identification to species group is possible, there are still no grounds for robust hypotheses of conspecificity between males and females from disjunct localities. We would prefer not to extend the distribution of C. lanei into Central America until we have males from Nicaragua to confirm the conspecificity. The male specimen we have from the west of the State of São Paulo perfectly agrees with the holotype.
