Taxonomic note. The examined specimens from the state of Amazonas present size, elytral setate punctuation pattern and shape of median lobe of aedeagus as described by Young 1978, however the dorsal coloration considerably differs. The species is described by Young as having head at the base dark brown to black and elytra uniformly yellowish brown with only the base darker; the specimens mentioned here above, instead, have entirely yellowish brown head, matching the pronotum coloration, and dark brown elytra with suture, a transversal, median band and the elytral apex yellowish brown. This create a paler cross-shaped pattern on the dorsum of these specimens ( Fig. 3m ), substantially facilitating their identification.

Geographic distribution. Notomicrus traili is known from Bolivia, Suriname and the Brazilian states of Amazonas, Goiás, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Pará and Paraná. First record for Amazonas, Goiás and Paraná.
