Eumerus obliquus (Fabricius, 1805) View in CoL , new record
Material examined. 1♀.
Remarks. This genus is originally from the Old World and was introduced into the Americas. Larvae from this genus are known to attack a variety of plants of economic importance (e.g. carrots, narcissus, onions, potatoes) which might explain their introduction to the Americas (i.e., through the transportation of commercial plants attacked by their larvae). This species was identified using the key of Seguy (1961). Eumerus obliquus was previously recorded from Brazil ( Marinoni and Morales, 2007; Morales and Marinoni, 2020), but this is the first record from northeastern Brazil.
