Overview

New species Ceracis exitelonotum and Ceracis tetradium identified in Brazil, highlighting distributional records for Ceracis nigropunctatus.

Key Points

  • Two new Ceracis species were identified in Brazil, significantly expanding the known biodiversity in the region.
  • Ceracis exitelonotum sp. nov. was discovered in the Pantanal biome, while Ceracis tetradium sp. nov. was found in the Atlantic Forest.
  • The research also illustrated the male and female terminalia of Ceracis nigropunctatus, which has morphological similarities to the new species.
  • New distributional records provide insights into the ecological range of Ceracis nigropunctatus in Brazil.
