Leptodesmus clavaria Brölemann, 1902

Leptodesmus clavaria Brölemann, 1902b: 687-690 , Figs. 33-35, plate 7, 26-29 (Male holotype from Fazenda Nova Niágara [see remarks], 49°28’00.02”W; 23°00’19.02”S, municipality not defined by author in 1920, São Paulo, Brazil); 1909: 65; Attems, 1938: 13, Fig. 7 ; Schubart, 1955: 526.

Historical records: BRAZIL. São Paulo: Batista Botelho (49°28’00.02”W; 23°00’19.02”S),Fazenda Nova Niágara,no data, i.1899, M.E. Gounelle coll., 1♂ ( Brölemann, 1902b) .

Remarks: Species under uncertain generic status ( Hoffman, 1971). The original locality was mentioned erroneously as “Fazenda Nova Nicarágua ”, and without any reference concerning the municipality. Based in collection records of M.E. Gounelle in the state of São Paulo at the end of the 18 th century (see Papavero, 1971: 162-163), the exact location is, indeed, named as “Fazenda Nova Niágara” and located on the municipality of Batista Botelho, outskirts of Cerqueira César.
