Treatment

Aethus (Tominotus) brevis Signoret, 1881: 426 .

Aelhus neotropicus Jensen-Haarup, 1926: 49, syn. by Froeschner, 1960. Tominotus brevis: Froeschner, 1960: 547 .

Distribution: Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil.

Remarks: This species is easily recognizable by the markedly yellowed tibiae in contrast with the rest of the body reddish–brown; T. signoreti shares the broad scutellar apex in comparison with the others Brazilian species of the genus, but not presents conspicuous differences on the body color ( Fig. 14F View FIGURE 14 ). The specimens collected in Brazil do not bear exact locality.
