Remarks.

C. unicapsulata was found on marginal rocks of small streams, at 2575 m a.s.l., extending its altitudinal occurrence. Environmental characterization: Water temperature 22 °C; dissolved oxygen 7.4 mg.l-1; pH 5.5; slow flow to stagnant; vegetal canopy absent (shrub-herbaceous vegetation. The species was found in APASM (Minas Gerais State). Low altitudinal specificity (IndVal: 0.17; p = 0.85).
