New record. BRAZIL: Sඞඈ Pൺඎඅඈ: without further data, 1 J, J. Mráz leg. (NMPC).
Distribution. Brazil (Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro). New to Minas Gerais and São Paulo.
Remarks. Sංආõൾඌ +| Mඈඇඇඣ (2011) published new faunistic records of Cyrtonota similata ( Boheman, 1850) from Manhumirim (Minas Gerais), Itatiaia, and Resende-Serrinha do Alambari (both in Rio de Janeiro). All four specimens were deposited in the National Museum in Rio and thus destroyed by the fire in 2018. Nevertheless, the authors provided a colour photograph of one representative, which quite clearly shows that the species was misidentified as C. vulnerata . The latter is characterized by semiopaque and velvet-like dorsum due to finer punctation and by high postscutellar tubercle, while C. similata has very low postscutellar tubercle and shiny and coarsely punctate elytra. It is also considerably smaller than C. vulnerata but unfortunately, no scale was provided. Consequently, all three records must be transferred to C. vulnerata and removed from C. similata , which is thus known only from the type locality – the state of Bahia (BඈΗൾආൺඇ 1850) as no other records have been published for it. Cyrtonota vulnerata was so far reported only from Rio de Janeiro (Fඅංඇඍൾ et al. 2009).
