Telmatometra parva Kenaga

Distribution in Brazil: AM, MT!

Biological aspects: Seven specimens have been collected on slow flowing areas or pools of 1 st to 4 th order streams influenced by pasture on the margins.

Comments: The species is herein recorded for the first time from areas of Cerrado on central-western Brazil ( Fig. 6 ), being the first register since its description. Despite being very rarely collected, the modeling of distribution shows that this species might occur on a wide geographical range in Brazil, except for the South and areas northern to the Amazon River.

Material examined: PT 52, (4 ♂, 1 ♀), [nº 2488], 20.VII. 2005. PT 26, (1 ♂), [nº 3753], 06.XI. 2007. PT 16, (1 ♂), [nº 3770], 06.XI. 2007. H.S.R. Cabette et al. and K. Dias-Silva leg.
