Remarks: See Raxworthy & Nussbaum (1994) for the confused history of this taxon. Presence in Rio de Janeiro (e.g., Peters & Orejas-Miranda 1970) needs confirmation. Records from Mato Grosso do Sul are considered doubtful (Ferreira, Terra, Piatti, Delatorre, Strüssmann, Béda, Kawashita-Ribeiro, Landgref-Filho, Aoki, Campos, Souza, Ávila, Duleba, Martins, Rita & Albuquerque 2017; Costa & Bérnils 2018).
Distribution: Brazil (Parana, Santa Catarina, Sao Paulo).
