Cephaloleia ornata Waterhouse, 1881 (Imatidiini) View in CoL
Published record. Boraceia (Sඍൺංඇൾඌ +| Gൺඋർටൺ-Rඈൻඅൾൽඈ 2014).
Distribution. Bolivia,? Brazil (Pará), Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela.
Remarks. Sඍൺංඇൾඌ +|Gൺඋർටൺ-Rඈൻඅൾൽඈ (2014) recorded this species from Brazil for the first time but did not formally mention that. They published material from Taperina, which was unassigned to the state, and then from Boraceia in the state of São Paulo. I did not have the opportunity to examine this material but based on the presently known distribution, the species is found in the Upper Amazon basin including foothills of the Andes and thus its occurrence in São Paulo is very improbable. In general, any species of the group, where C. ornata belongs does not occur in eastern Brazil. Therefore, the material must have been either mislabelled or misidentified, and C. ornata is removed from the fauna of São Paulo.
On the other hand, occurrence of C. ornata in the Brazilian Amazon is probable. As for the other specimen(s), Taperina is most likely an alternative spelling of Taperinha, which is close to Santarém in Pará. However, Sඍൺංඇൾඌ +| Gൺඋർටൺ-Rඈൻඅൾൽඈ (2014) did not provide any additional data for this specimen(s), thus it would be necessary to verify the labels and identification to confirm the occurrence of C. ornata in Brazil. For now, I leave the distribution in Brazil with a question mark.
