Comments
The labels of the type material of D . malyi indicate ‘ São Paulo’ as the collecting locality (with no further data) . Here , we provide for the first time an exact, additional location of collection for this species . Dichotomius malyi was recently re-collected in and around the Parque Estadual de Campos Altos, in Campos Altos municipality, Minas Gerais State, Brazil (approximately 950 m elevation) ( Figure1 View Figure 1 ) . This locality is about 125 km north-east from the border of São Paulo State and then on the other side of Serra da Canastra ; thus, D . malyi is not likely to occur in São Paulo State. The original description applies well to all examined specimens, yet larger individuals bear more pronounced conical cephalic process in males and cephalic knob in females. Size variation: 11 mm to 13 mm .
