Rhagovelia sabrina
Drake, 1958
Geographical distribution:
Brazil
.
Distribution in
Brazil
: Southeast and South regions (
MG
,
PR
, SC) (
Nieser & Polhemus 1999
).
Comments: This species was recorded from
São Paulo
and
Rio de Janeiro
states by
Moreira and Ribeiro (2009)
. A careful examination of the specimens cited in that study, including male parameres, revealed that specimens from
São Paulo
were actually representatives of
R. modesta
, and that from
Rio de Janeiro
,
R. hambletoni
. The occurrence of
R. sabrina
in both states must be therefore unconsidered.
