Fannia flavicornis Stein (Expanded distribution)

( Fig. 1 )

Fannia flavicornis Stein 1911: 102 . Type-locality: Peru, Umuhuankiali.

Fannia euchaetophora Carvalho 1991: 35 , Figs. 1–4 . Synonymy by Dominguez (2007: 310). Type-locality: Brazil, Roraima, Rio Uroricoera, Ilha de Maracá.

Remarks: Recently, F. euchaetophora was synonymized with Fannia flavicornis ( Dominguez 2007) . Fannia flavicornis was recorded from Peru, Bolivia and Argentina ( Dominguez 2007), and F. euchaetophora was recorded from Brazil, in Roraima State ( Carvalho 1991). In the examined collections, many specimens of F. flavicornis from Amazonas, Maranhão, Pará and Rondônia states were found, thus, extending its previously known distribution in the northern region of Brazil.
