Corethrella longituba Belkin, Heinemann & Page, 1970 , male adult. A . Cranial setae, anterior and posterior views, and clypeus in anterior view. B . Thoracic setae, lateral view. C . Hind leg claw and empodium, lateral view. Distribution and biology This specimen has previously been recorded in Amaral et al. (2019) . It was collected with a light trap near a stream in an area of Araucaria moist forest in Campos do Jordão State Park, São Paulo . The altitude recorded was 1538 m a.s.l. This species is otherwise known from the Bahamas , Cayman Islands , Jamaica , Dominican Republic , and Puerto Rico at altitudes ranging from 1 to 150 m a.s.l. ( Borkent 2008 ). Remarks The individual differs from the description by Borkent (2008) in the presence of one sensillum coeloconicum on flagellomere IX.
