Cephaloleia deyrollei Baly, 1859

Published records. São Paulo (Wൾංඌൾ 1910a); ‘Vila Darvin [field station of MZUSP at that time]’ (Lඳൽൾඋඐൺඅൽඍ 1910); Santos; Estação Biológica de Paranapiacaba (UΗආൺඇඇ 1964); Casa Grande (Sඍൺංඇൾඌ +| Gൺඋർටൺ-Rඈൻඅൾൽඈ 2014).

Distribution. Brazil (Bahia, Paraná, Rio de Janiero, Santa Catarina, São Paulo).

Remarks. Sඍൺංඇൾඌ +| Gൺඋർටൺ-Rඈൻඅൾൽඈ (2014) recorded this species from Bolivia, Ecuador and French Guiana for the first time; however, these records are dubious and most likely represent misidentifications. Species of Cephaloleia Chevrolat, 1836 are somewhat restrictive considering their distribution and habitat preferences, with only several species truly widespread. The same is true for their host plants, in this case Calathea and/or He- liconia species. Therefore, the abovementioned countries are removed from the distribution of C. deyrollei , which is restricted to eastern Brazil. However, the respective specimens should be studied to confirm this action.
