Comments:
The
type
locality of this species is Campos do Jordão, in southeastern
Brazil
. We now have additional material from two other localities in the Atlantic Forest. The original description and the redescriptions made by
Vilela & Bächli (1990)
and
Grimaldi & Nguyen (1999)
are thorough and well illustrated. We add here photographs of of a malein several views. There is a discussion, ahead, about the
types
of this species.
