Remarks.

L. biancae was found on marginal rocks of low order streams and small waterfalls, extending the altitudinal records from 1570-2575 m a.s.l. Environmental characterization: Water temperature varied from 11-22 °C; dissolved oxygen 7.4-10.0 mg.l-1; pH 4.5-6.4; slow to fast flowing; vegetal coverage completely absent (shrub-herbaceous vegetation). The species was found in PARNASO (Rio de Janeiro State) and APASM (Minas Gerais State), the northernmost records. Low altitudinal specificity (IndVal: 0.16; p = 0.39).

Unknown species. Lipurometriocnemus sp. Locality: APASM. Altitudinal record: 2700 m a.s.l. Low altitudinal specificity (IndVal: 0.2; p = 0.45).
