Material examined: Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, Restinga de Jurubatiba National Park, sand beach and litter of “restinga” areas; Silveira , T.C. coll. 19/ VI /2015: 1 ex; Costa do Sol State Park, sand beach and litter of “restinga” areas, Silveira , T.C. coll. 30/IV/2015: 1 ex.

Remarks: This species was described based on material collected from dunes and flooded areas of “Restinga” de Itaipuaçu. It was subsequently reported by Fernandes & Mendonça (2007) in “Restinga” de Maricá in areas of the intertidal zones. In the present study, it was only found in dune vegetation of both “restingas”, confirming its preference for littoral environments.
