Remarks. Neodexiopsis paulistensis was decribed by Albuquerque (1956d) from several male and female specimens from Brazil. We compared these specimens with the paratype of N. croceafrons from IFML (collected in Argentina and Brazil) and we concluded they are conspecific. We herewith formally synonymized these two names.
Biology. Unknown.
