Cephaloleia obsoleta Weise, 1910 (Imatidiini)

Published record. ‘Cipo’ (Sඍൺංඇൾඌ +| Gൺඋർටൺ-Rඈൻඅൾൽඈ 2014).

Distribution. Brazil.

Remarks. Until recently, Cephaloleia obsoleta was known only based on the holotype specimen with locality data ‘Brasilia’. Sඍൺංඇൾඌ +| Gൺඋർටൺ-Rඈൻඅൾൽඈ (2014) published two specimens from São Paulo: Cipo deposited in E. Riley’s collection. I did not examine them in hand, but Ed Riley provided me with a photograph of these specimens. They certainly do not belong to C. obsoleta but to some other small black coloured species as they have acompletely different shape of body. Therefore, the species is excluded from the fauna of São Paulo.
