Cephaloleia obsoleta
Weise, 1910 (Imatidiini)
Published record.
‘Cipo’ (Sඍൺංඇൾඌ +| Gൺඋർටൺ-Rඈൻඅൾൽඈ 2014).
Distribution.
Brazil
.
Remarks.
Until recently,
Cephaloleia obsoleta
was known only based on the
holotype
specimen with locality data ‘Brasilia’. Sඍൺංඇൾඌ +| Gൺඋർටൺ-Rඈൻඅൾൽඈ (2014) published
two specimens
from
São Paulo
: Cipo deposited in E. Riley’s collection. I did not examine them in hand, but Ed Riley provided me with a photograph of these specimens. They certainly do not belong to
C. obsoleta
but to some other small black coloured species as they have acompletely different shape of body. Therefore, the species is excluded from the fauna of
São Paulo
.
