Distribution. Brazil . Etymology . The epithet refers to the Brazilian state where the holotype was collected. Remarks. The male genitalia, especially pygophore morphology, relates this species to Paisana maculata ; both species have a small spine located anteriorly to the inner projections. They can be easily distinguished by the different leg coloration pattern, in P. Saopaulensis the profemora are brown and the meso- and metafemora light brown with the apical third brown whereas in P. maculata there are dark spots contrasting with the lighter background.
