 Brignolia parumpunctata: PLATNICK et al., 2011:14.   
 Diagnosis. Brignolia parumpunctata can be easily separated from B. dasysterna by the males having a ventrally directed protrusion situated medially on the clypeus (Fig. 9; PLATNICK et al., 2011: fig. 21) and by the distinctive curled dorsal protrusion on the palpal bulb (Figs 11, 12; PLATNICK et al., 2011: figs 31-32). Females can be easily recognized by the rounded, elevated protrusion situated between the epigastric furrow and by the groove connecting the posterior spiracles (Fig. 10).   
 Description. Male and female, see PLATNICK et al., 2011:14, figs 1-94.   
 Distribution. This species has a Pantropical distribution, occurring in the Americas, Africa, Southern Asia, Pacific Islands and Australia. PLATNICK et al., 2011:31, reported only one previously Brazilian record, in the state of Pará, norther Brazil. Here it is recorded in areas of north, northeast and southeast Brazil (Fig. 58). According to PLATNICK et al. (2011), this species may have an Asian origin, where the bulk of the genus diversity is from.
