Comments

Erroneously recorded several times from the Parque Nacional do Itatiaia. These records must be attributed to the new species herein described as Pseudoperma lingafelteri sp. nov. The seven pubescent elytral vittae are uninterrupted from base to apex, and the sutural vitta is as broad as the lateral ones.
