Remarks

This recently described species has not been examined. We did not find individuals in our survey of Santa Luzia in 2016. Given the observed genetic divergence present in most of the taxa reported from the islands of São Vicente and Santa Luzia, we consider this taxon as provisionally valid pending future detailed molecular studies.
