Remarks. Purenleon fernandezi was just recently described from Venezuela and Trinidad, and together with P. tibialis Miller & Stange and the two new species described below form the tibialis group ( Miller & Stange 2014). The records presented here greatly expand the distribution of P. fernandezi towards the Brazilian northeast, including the easternmost record of the genus, in Rio Grande do Norte state ( Fig. 11 View Fig ). The Brazilian specimens were all dissected and both male and female present the same pattern of P. fernandezi , despite the disruptive distance between the new records and the previous ones. Besides the three specimens mentioned below, another female from Ceará state was also studied here; externally it is very similar to P. fernandezi but the terminalia is somewhat different (do not present the lateral expansions on the sternite VIII). This specimen could be a new species or maybe only a variation of P. fernandezi , but no further conclusions can be made until a larger series can be studied.
