Remarks.
This name probably refers to a complex of species, or at least subspecies (DaCosta
et al.
2007).
Venezuela
is the southern limit of the distribution of
F. engeli engeli
, the records to
F. e n ge l i
from
Brazil
(Padula & Santos 2006; Padula
et al
. 2012) are owed to
F. engeli lucianae
(DaCosta
et al.
2007)
