Microvelia ubatuba Moreira & Barbosa View in CoL

Distribution in Brazil: AM, MT!, SP.

Biological aspects: A couple was collected on a shaded area of a well-preserved 1st order stream.

Comments: This species was recently described from southeastern Brazil, later assigned to the northern portion of the country, and is herein recorded for the first time from the Central-West ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 ). Like many other Neotropical Microvelia , M. ubatuba is very small and difficult to identify, which can explain the lack of records inside its wide distributional area. The poor recording also lead the distributional modeling to assign the area where it was collected out of its potential range.

Material examined: PT 17, (1♂, 1♀),), [nº 3811], 01.XI.2007.
