Remarks:
Fannia pusio
is widely distributed in
Brazil
(
Wendt & Carvalho 2009
) and in several other countries in the New World, Africa and the Mediterranean (see
Carvalho
et al
. 2003
). However, this species was not recorded for the northern region of
Brazil
until now. In the collections examined, male specimens from the state of Pará were found, hence the distribution of

is expanded.
