Cosmisoma batesi Zajciw 1962
Cosmisoma batesi Zajciw, 1962 (Fig. 69) Cosmisoma batesi Zajciw, 1962: 304. Remarks. This species was described based on males and females from Brazil (Pará, Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Santa Catarina). According to Monné (2024), currently, it is also known from the Brazilian states of Rondônia and Goiás (Pará was omitted). We suspect that this species is just a chromatic variation of Cosmisoma angustipenne Zajciw, 1958, a species known from Peru, French Guiana, Bolivia, and Brazil (Acre and Amazonas). However, as we have not examined specimens that match the colors of the holotype of C. angustipenne, we cannot know whether there are morphological differences. Zajciw (1962) did not compare Cosmisoma batesi Zajciw, 1962 with C. angustipenne, and only separated them in the key: body entirely fulvous-ferruginous, leading to C. batesi; body black, leading to C. angustipenne. Material examined. BRAZIL, Amazonas (new state record): Manaus, ZF-2, km 14, 2°35’21”S 60°06’55”W, “Malaise Grande, lado nascente,” 8 m, 1 female, 4–23.X.2017, J.A. Rafael leg. (INPA).
