Distribution

Brazil.

Notes

Specimens from Paraná show variations in structure and colouration when compared to the original description. In the material above, the apical portion of the middle femur and most of the fore femur dorsally are yellowish. Additionally, both males and females bear a row of five to seven spines on the hind femur. These are the first records from Paraná and the South Region of Brazil (Fig. 10 D-E, Fig. 11 C).
