Types. leptosoma : Holotype male BRAZIL: It. (Itatiaya, Rio de Janeiro), Saarbrücken (IGUS).
Paratypes (7 males): (4) same data as holotype (IGUS); (1) 39 (red circle), Itatiaya, I.27, Saarbrücken (IGUS); (1) 40 (red circle), Itatiaya, I.27, Saarbrücken (IGUS); (1) Passa Quatro, Marumba, 18.XII.25, Saarbrücken (IGUS).
Etymology. The name of this species, leptosoma , is derived from the Greek leptos (slender) and soma (body). This refers to its relatively slender abdomen.
Remarks. One additional specimen of leptosoma from the UCR collection was examined: "Coleção Julian, ARP" but included no locality information or date; therefore, it was not listed above as part of the type series. Unfortunately, several of the type series, including the holotype, have no label data except "It.," an abreviation for Itatiaya.
