Comments. Zenoria has limited distribution to South America and Panama ( Santos 2014; Santos & González 2016). This genus has 39 species ( Santos & González 2016; Duarte-de-Mélo et al. 2025), of which eighteen occur in Brazil ( Santos 2014; Santos & González 2016; Duarte-de-Mélo et al. 2025). Zenoria linteolata and Z. revestita represent the second and third species to be recorded for NE Brazil ( Guedes et al. 2019).
