Remarks.

C. hermanni was found on marginal rocks of small streams and rocky seepages (large exposed rock in the middle of the forest), at 1570-1580 m a.s.l., extending the altitudinal occurrence of this species. Environmental characterization: Water temperature 15-16.3 °C; dissolved oxygen 8.4-10.2 mg.l-1; pH 5.0-6.4; slow to fast flowing; vegetal canopy completely absent. The species was found in APASM (Minas Gerais State) and PARNASO (Rio de Janeiro State), extending slightly the geographical distribution of this species. Low altitudinal specificity (IndVal: 0.29; p = 0.23).
