Purenleon clavatus

description: <i>Purenleon clavatus</i> (Navás, 1914) For a detailed description see Miller &amp; Stange (2014) <i>Remarks. Purenleon clavatus</i> seems to be the most widespread species in the genus. Until now, it was the only species recorded for Brazil, but it has also been collected in Trinidad and Venezuela (Miller &amp; Stange 2014). The new records presented here expand its distribution to the northeastern and southeastern regions of Brazil, including the southernmost point of <i>Purenleon,</i> in São Paulo state (Fig. 11). Specimens from the different localities were dissected, and both male and female genitalias presented the same pattern, confirming that despite the large distribution they indeed belong to the same species. <i>Material examined</i>.
