Remarks

Images of the type series were requested from the MNHN, where these specimens were supposedly deposited ( Löbl 2018a), but we were informed that they could not find any specimens. Nonetheless, we decided to treat the specimens that we examined as C. collare because their morphology and localities fit the original description and the known distribution of the species. Fourteen individuals of different body length and collected from different fungi at Viçosa, one from Areia Branca (SE) (Supp. file 3 ( Figs 1–2 )), and another one from Sta Luzia do Itanhi (SE) (Supp. file 3 ( Figs 3–4 )) were dissected. No differences were found in the terminalia, including the flagellum. Furthermore, no external differences were observed. The total body length is quite variable (2.60–3.72 mm). The three individuals from Areia Branca (SE) are the largest (3.64, 3.68 and 3.72 mm), while individuals collected at Viçosa (MG) and Sta Luzia do Itanhi (SE) are in the same size range (2.56–3.52 mm).

Distribution

Known from Brazil [“Matu Sinhos, Minas”; “Matto Grosso”; “Pery-Pery, Pernambuco ”; “right bank of Parahyba ”]. New records from Areia Branca and Santa Luzia do Itanhi, state of Sergipe, Northeast, Brazil, and from “Mata da Biologia” and “EPTEA Mata do Paraíso”, campus of the Universidade Federal de Viçosa, Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Southeast Brazil ( Fig. 55 ).
