Distribution.
Brazil
(
Rio de Janeiro
). New to
Minas Gerais
and
São Paulo
.
Remarks.
Sඍൺංඇൾඌ +| Gൺඋർටൺ-Rඈൻඅൾൽඈ (2014) published a new record for this species as follows: ‘
BRAZIL
: São Paulo- Río Piracicaba,
February 1885
(USNM). Total: 1.’ In Brazil, there are at least two Piracicaba Rivers, one in
Minas Gerais
and the other in
São Paulo
. Although they did not provide further data, I am quite sure that the specimen was collected by Philibert Germain as I have examined various specimens of Cassidinae with this locality data in MNHN. The exact transcription of the locality label is: ‘Brésil Rio Piracicaba P. Germain
Février 1885
’. According to Hඈඋඇ +| KൺΗඅൾ (1935), Germain collected in Brazil in the state of
Minas Gerais
. Consequently, the record of
C. trilineata
is here transferred and the species is recorded as new to
Minas Gerais
. However, the species is here recorded also for
São Paulo
as J. Mráz collected
one specimen
. It differs from the
holotype
in absence of lateral black stripes, which are only obscurely indicated near humeri; also, the sutural stripe vanishes towards the midlength. Otherwise, the specimen seems to match the
holotype
fairly well.
