Remarks. Fonseca (1933b) designated one female specimen (from BRAZIL: Rio Grande do Sul: São Leopoldo), referred as ‘cotype’, and one female specimen (from BRAZIL: Rio Grande do Sul: Porto Alegre) referred as ‘type’. These specifications suggest that the author intended to designate holotype and paratype. However, the the holotype was not located.
