Sceloenopla rectelineta ( Pic, 1929)

Published records. Campinas (Cඈඌඍൺ et al. 1988, as S. af. bidens (Fabricius, 1792)) ; Campinas, Capivari, Jundiaí, Louveira, Paulínia, Piracicaba (Lඈඎඋൾඇඡඞඈ et al. 1991, as S. bidens ); both misidentifications.

Distribution. Bolivia, Brazil (Ceará), and Peru. New to São Paulo.

Remarks. This species was previously reported under the name S. bidens ; however, based on photograph published by Lඈඎඋൾඇඡඞඈ et al. (1991) it looks different and matches S. rectelineata ; see also Remarks under S. bidens . It seems that S. rectelineta is distributed in seasonally dry habitats in the belt from Bolivia and southern Peru to São Paulo, although it has not been recorded from central Brazil formally, and probably extends along the Atlantic coast to Ceará (Serra de Baturité) assuming that UΗආൺඇඇ (1961) identified the respective material correctly.
