“…Until 2003, surveys of the species in southern Brazil had been carried out in Paraná (Scherer-Neto & Straube, 1995) and Rio Grande do Sul (Belton, 1994;Sick, 1997;Dias & Burger, 2005;Guadagnin, Peter, Perello, & Maltchik, 2005;Silva, 2006;Acosta et al, 2010), but not in Santa Catarina, the state between them (Rupp et al, 2008;Piacentini et al, 2009), even though it was also expected to be found there (Rosário, 1996). However, P. infuscatus began to be reported in the state from 2003 onwards, in an accelerated colonization, with movement from south to north and east to west until the current occupation of almost the entire state (Rupp et al, 2008;Piacentini et al, 2009).…”
