Remarks. This species is distributed in southeastern Brazil, with records in the states of Rio de Janeiro ( Baldin et al. 2013) and Minas Gerais ( Novaes & Bispo 2014), being the most widely distributed species in the Doce River basin. The male forewing length of the specimens studied here (8.9–12.2mm, n=4) is similar to the forewing length range presented by Novaes & Bispo (2014). Furthermore, the penial armature matches with the illustrations in the original description.
