Remarks. Our material has the same pattern of spots on the head, pronotum, and wings as illustrated by Ribeiro & Rafael (2009) (Figs. 3A and 3C). The penial armature of the male seems to vary, with the apex of our specimens in lateral view strongly rounded (Fig. 3F), different from the tapered and acute apex illustrated by Froehlich (2001) and Ribeiro & Rafael (2009). This species is widespread, reported from areas covered by tropical savanna or Cerrado in the states of Maranhão, Mato Grosso and Tocantins; and by Amazon Forest in the states of Amazonas and Roraima (Ribeiro & Santos 2018; Rippel et al. 2019; Menezes et al. 2020) (Fig. 1D). In the State of Maranhão, the species is also widespread, occurring in the East (municipality of Codó), South (municipality of Carolina), and West of the State (municipality of Imperatriz) (Fig. 1D).
