Abstract

New distribution data are presented for the rare belid species Homalocerus antennalis Hustache, 1940, H. lyciformis (Germar, 1833) and Dicordylus serranus Vanin, 1976. A description of the male terminalia is presented for the first time for D. vanini Mermudes, 2006 and a neotype is designated for this species as the holotype (and only known specimen) was destroyed in the fire at the National Museum in Rio de Janeiro on September 2, 2018.
