Remarks. This species was described by Froehlich (2002) based on a single specimen collected in Nova Friburgo, Rio de Janeiro State. In the specimens studied above, the mean length of the forewings of the males is 11.25 mm ( 10–12 mm) and females 16 mm ( 15–17 mm). Anacroneuria flintorum has been recorded in streams of the mountainous regions of southeastern and southern Brazil (Froehlich, 2002; Bispo & Froehlich, 2004a). This brown species exhibits much variability in color pattern (Bispo & Froehlich, 2004a). However, the penial armature of all specimens examined is elongated and has hooks well separated from the vesicles, agreeing with the original description of A. flintorum (Froehlich, 2002) .
