Distribution

The type is from an unknown locality in Brazil, but the other specimens are from Southeast Brazil.

Remarks

As pointed out by Skelley (1998b) the name Mycotretus simplex is probably a nomen nudum. However, based on its label “TYPE” we considered that specimen a paralectotype of M. sobrinus and we included a question mark (?) indicating doubt.
