Remarks.
The measurements of the specimens collected fit the original description, except for the longer
Z5
(
56 in
the original description), as also reported for specimens collected in
Brazil
(Moraes & McMurtry 1983; Feres & Moraes, 1998; Lofego
et al
. 2004; 2009),
Peru
(Guanilo
et al
. 2008b) and
Argentina
(Guanilo
et al
. 2008c). In contrast to what has been mentioned in previous papers for specimens from the State of São Paulo (Feres & Moraes, 1998; Lofego
et al
. 2004; 2009), the specimens collected in this work do not have
z4
,
Z4
,
Z5
and
s4
particularly longer than reported in the original description. In those previous publications, these were reported to be about 1.5 times as long as reported in the original description.
