Formerly Known Distribution.—Brazil: The majority of records refer to the central region of the state of Santa Catarina, and the northern part of Rio Grande do Sul. In the Rio Itajaí basin, there is only the record of the holotype described from the Rio Itajaí-Açu, municipality of Blumenau.

New Records.— Brazil: Santa Catarina: Rio Itajaí basin, a tributary of the Rio Itajaí do Sul ( Fig. 1 View Fig ), Atalanta, 16.viii.1999, G. Bond-Buckup and L. Buckup col., 7 m, 2 f, 3 j ( UFRGS 2676 ) ; Ribeirão Belchior, a tributary of Rio Itajaí-Açu , Gaspar, 14.vi. 1986, Ada Silva col., 3 m, 2 f ( UFRGS 2390 ) .

Biology.—Unknown.

Remarks.—The phylogeny of the group, presented by Pérez-Losada et al. (2004), showed that A. odebrechtii belongs to clade C, with A. jarai as the sister species, and a divergence time estimated at 33.2 ± 1.8 MYA.
