Cylindroiulus truncorum (Silvestri, 1896) ( Figs. 2B , 7F )

Descriptive notes: Male, see Blower (1985: 162, fig. 51) and Korsós & Enghoff (1990: 347, figs. 1, 5-8, 21, 30, 31).

Identification: According to the diagnosis made by Korsós & Enghoff (1990), males of C. truncorum are recognized by promerite of gonopods slightly longer than mesomerite, without a deep mesal incision; opisthomerite with laterad bent smooth brachit, without setae or protuberances; paracoxal process long, slender and pointed, almost reaching the end of solenomerite ( Blower, 1985: fig. 51; Fig. 7F ).

Distribution: It is widespread in Europe and North Africa, probably by several events of introduction ( Blower, 1985; Korsós & Enghoff, 1990). The species has been reported in Hawaii, North and South America ( Shelley et al., 1998; Hoffman, 1999). Cylindroiulus truncorum occurs mainly in synanthropic habitats such as greenhouses, gardens, and parks ( Korsós & Enghoff, 1990). In Brazil, the species has been recorded only in urban areas in São Paulo. All records of the species were obtained from the literature.

Historical records: São Paulo: São Paulo, Bairro dos Campos Elíseos [- 23.5475°S; - 46.6361°W], 03.iii.1944, O. Schubart & J. Schubart coll. ( Schubart, 1946a) .
