Cluzobra fascipennis Edwards

C. fascipennis Edwards, 1940: 464 . Type –locality: BRAZIL, Santa Catarina, Nova Teutônia. Distr. – Brazil (Santa Catarina), Argentina (Misiones). Ref. – Lane, 1948: 254, figs. 14–15 (ɗ terminalia); Matile, 1996: 24, figs. 51 (ɗ terminalia), 59 (Ψ terminalia). Holotype Ψ, NHM.

Material examined. Holotype. Additional specimens: “Neallotype”, ɗ BRAZIL, State of Goiás, Corumbá, 52° 23’ 60” W 27° 03’ 00” S, ix.1945, M. Pereira Barreto col. (cf., Matile, 1996: 25); 1?, ARGENTINA, Misiones, Los Helechos, 55° 05’ 00” W 27° 33’ 00” S ,, 10.v.1949, J.P. Duret col.

Comments. The collection locality of the specimen used by Matile (1999) to describe the putative male (“neallotype”) of C. fascipennis , in Corumbá, State of Goiás, central Brazil, is very distant from the type – locality of the species, which is Nova Teutônia, in the State of Santa Catarina, southern Brazil. No males of C. fascipennis have been described from near the type –locality, and it is questionable whether the male from the state of Goiás is conspecific with the female holotype. We should therefore avoid, for the time being, extending the distribution of C. fascipennis to central Brazil.
