Neoconocephalus puiggarii (Bolívar, 1884)

Fig. 6E ; 8G

Distribution: Brazil: Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul, São Paulo.

New record for the Paraná State.

Comments: This species is also polymorphic, even if this condition was not recognized among the individuals collected at ParNa Iguaçu. All the collected individuals were green, contrasting with the rust colour found both in the lectotype and in the individuals mentioned by Redtenbacher (1891). The number of individuals of the species housed in the collections is uncertain, since this information was not presented in the original description, the same way that the number of specimens recorded for the Rio Grande do Sul State was not reported in the aforementioned paper. Here we present the first record of a male of this species .

Bioacoustics: Sound not recorded.
