Distribution.

Two valid species of Hyphydrophilus species are known so far: H. adisi Pereira, Minelli & Barbieri, 1994 and H. projectus Pereira, Foddai & Minelli, 2000, both from the Amazonian Forest (Amazonas). We now add a record in iron ore caves from Pará, increasing the genus’ distribution down to the southern Amazonian region.
