Current Status.
Valid species.
Remarks.
Spaeth (1928)
described this species based on numerous specimens collected by J. Mráz in S~ ao Paulo (NMPC specimens) and several additional specimens in his collection from various localities. Because he did not select the
holotype
in the original description, all specimens must be considered
syntypes
. The ZMH specimen is part of the type series, as there is another specimen with identical labels in the MM. We studied the type series, which is consistent; thus, there is currently no need for a
lectotype
designation.
