Remarks

This is the morph identified as Wayampia sp. by Barbosa (2014), and it possibly constitutes a non-described species, requiring more investigation of whether similar morphs are also related to this species (eg Thomé et al. 2006). We follow the current interpretation of Wayampia as a junior synonym of Scolodonta ( Hausdorf 2006) , despite this not being unanimous ( Barbosa 2014).

Geographic distribution

Brazil: Rio de Janeiro state ( Barbosa 2014), not previously recorded from the city of Rio de Janeiro.
