Alagoa : 1 male (ISLA 3983) from Tunel do Garrafao (10), 31/VIII/2008 ( Azara et al. 2013 ). Carai : 1 male (ISLA 3970) from Tunel da Fazenda Cilindro I (2), 21/VII/2008 ( Azara et al. 2013 ). Individuals of this species were recorded sparsely distributed inside the mines both in the photic and aphotic zones at a maximum distance of 36 m from the entrance. In some mines, specimens were found guarding their eggs and nymphs. This species also occurs in natural cavities in Minas Gerais state ( Azara et al. 2013 ). Figure 5.
