Stolas scoparia (Erichson, 1847) (Mesomphaliini)

Published record. Itapecerica da Serra (Bඈඋඈඐංൾർ +| TൺΚංඓൺඐൺ 2011).

Distribution. Bolivia, Brazil (Mato Grosso), and Peru.

Remarks. HංඇർΚඌ (1956) recorded this species from Brazil for the first time based on three specimens collected in Rio de Janeiro-Corcovado by F. Tippmann. Bඈඋඈඐංൾർ (1996) recorded two more specimens from Chapada in Mato Grosso. Finally, Bඈඋඈඐංൾർ +| TൺΚංඓൺඐൺ (2011) recorded two specimens from São Paulo. The records from Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo are certainly erroneous due to mislabelled specimens and are removed from the species distribution; see also Remarks in S. hermanni . On the other hand, the record from Chapada is possible. The respective specimens were collected by H. H. Smith and the locality refers to Chapada dos Guimarães (Cൺඅඏൾඋඍ 1909), which is about 500–600 km air distance from the localities of S. scoparia in Bolivia.
