discussion
Discussion: Recognized as a subspecies of iheringi by Moojen (1948) and Pessôa and Reis (1996). Lara and Patton (2000) elevated gratiosus to a species, retained bonafidei as a subspecies of gratiosus, and suggested that panema was not morphologically distinct from gratiosus. Karyotype has 2 n = 56 and FN = 108 (Pessôa and Reis, 1996).
