Melittomma brasiliensis
(Laporte, 1832)
In Mexico,
M. brasiliensis
is known from the states of Chiapas (Ocozocoautla), Colima (Minatitlán), San Luis Potos´ı (Tamasopo), and Veracruz (Córdoba, Estación de Biolog´ıa Los Tuxtlas, Fortin de Las Flores, and Tuxtla) (
Gorham 1881
,
1886
;
Navarrete-Heredia 2004
). Herein we record it for the first time from the Mexican states of Hidalgo, Oaxaca, Puebla, Querétaro, and Tamaulipas. Additionally, new localities from Chiapas and Veracruz are provided (see Material Examined). In
Guatemala
,
M. brasiliensis
is known from the department of
Quetzaltenango
(El Reposo) (
Gorham 1881
,
1886
). We present new distributional records from the departments of
El Progreso
,
Escuintla
,
Huehuetenango
,
Izabal
,
Suchitepéquez
, and
Zacapa
(
Fig. 1
) (see Material Examined).
Melittomma brasiliensis
is also widely distributed throughout the Americas (
Fonseca and Vieira 2000
;
Gorham 1881
,
1886
; Orozco and D´ıaz 2018;
Wheeler 1986
). This species is rarely collected, and no data about their hosts or fungal symbiosis were found. Here we report for first time a phoretic relationship with mites.
Material Examined.
