Renda debilis (Sharp, 1884) Specimen Examined (Male). “ M é x i c o: Veracruz, Soteapan, San Fernando, 18°15′08″ N, 94°54 06″ W, pastizal, 12, altitud 980 m, a 60 m de la selva, 0–10 cm de profundidad, 3.8 g de hojarasca, 22-23-II-2005, M. de los Santos col.” New state record . Comments. All diagnostic characters indicated in the taxonomic key and in the redescription of R. debilis proposed by Márquez (2010) were observed in the specimen studied, including the comparison of its aedeagus with the illustration of this structure presented in the aforementioned paper. The only observed difference in the specimen studied is a larger total body length of 13.2 mm, compared to the specimens analyzed by Márquez (2010) (12.5–12– 9 mm), who commented that the females were longer than males. But with only five specimens known, and possible differences in the preparation of the specimens, the total body length of the specimen from Mexico can be considered within normal variation.
