New Records Prioninae Latreille, 1802

Callipogonini Thomson, 1861

Enoplocerus armillatus ( Linnaeus, 1767)

Material examined: BRAZIL, Espírito Santo (new state record): Vila Velha (20°19′46.9″S, 40°17′33.0″W), 1 specimen, 20.VII.2001, D.C. Tomasi ( UFES).

This species was originally described from “ India ”. We believe that Linnaeus (1767) did not examine any specimen himself. The description provided by him indicates he was only naming the species described by Gronovius (1764), and illustrated by Gronovius (1781). Furthermore, Grovonius (1764) also reported that the species “Habitat in India ”. It seems almost impossible that both Linnaeus and Gronovius have examined two specimens with the same error of origin, except if Linnaeus had examined the specimen in the Gronovius collection, but there is no evidence that this has occurred. Still, even if the latter hypothesis is true, it would only indicate that the specimen belonged to the Gronovius collection. Unfortunately, Gronovius’ collection has disappeared and it is unknown if his specimens are still preserved. Currently, the species is recorded for Costa Rica, Trinidad & Tobago, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Surinam, Guyana, French Guiana, Brazil (Amazonas, Pará, Roraima, Rondônia, Mato Grosso, Goiás, Maranhão, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Alagoas, Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná), Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia (Beni, Pando, Santa Cruz), Paraguay, Argentina (Salta, Tucumán, Santiago del Estero, Misiones, Chaco, Santa Fé) ( Monné, 2020c).
