Tyrannoseira diabolica Bellini & Godeiro, 2012: 81 View Cited Treatment , figs. 1–13 (orig. descr.).

Type locality. Brazil, Rio Grande do Norte state, Parnamirim, Barreira do Inferno .

Other references: Zeppelini & Lima 2012: 41–43 (species compared).

Type material examined. Holotype female, paratypes 1 male, 8 females and 1 juvenile (MNRJ/3170), examined before of fire in September 2018.

Typological note. One paratype was designed as female in original description and we correct it here as it is a juvenile. All type material of T. diabolica deposited at MNRJ was destroyed in fire in September 2018.
