Distribution ( Fig. 15B ) Brazil : Amazon (Amazonas [ new record ], Pará [ new record ], Roraima [ Albino et al. 2011 ]), Atlantic Forest ( Alagoas [ new record ], Bahia [ new record ], Espírito Santo [ new record ], Paraíba [ new record ], Pernambuco [ new record] ), Caatinga ( Ceará , Piauí [ Takiya et al. 2016 ]), Cerrado (Distrito Federal [ new record ], Minas Gerais [Blahnik et al. 2004], São Paulo [ Calor 2011 ], Tocantins [ new record ]), Bolivia , Colombia , Costa Rica , Ecuador , El Salvador , Guatemala , Honduras , Mexico , Nicaragua , Panama , Peru , Suriname , Tobago , Trinidad , Venezuela . Remarks This species is widely distributed in Central America and some countries in northern South America ( Colombia , Peru , Suriname , Venezuela ) ( Fig. 15B ) ( Holzenthal & Calor 2017 ). In Brazil , S. bivittata has been recorded only from the Cerrado biome in the states of Minas Gerais and São Paulo (Southeast region), and the Amazon biome in the state of Pará (North region) ( Santos et al. 2020a ). Nevertheless, this species was incorrectly recorded from the state of Pará by Paprocki et al. (2004) in their checklist of Brazilian Trichoptera because Paprocki’s work was based on data from the literature and until then no previous study had reported the occurrence of S. bivittata from either the state of Pará or Brazil . This species was recorded in Brazil for the first time by Blahnik et al. (2004), from the state of Minas Gerais . Thus, this study provides the first record of S. bivittata from the Amazon biome in the state of Pará, based on specimens collected in a small stream located in the Floresta Nacional do Tapajós, a protected Amazon forest area. The range of S. bivittata is extended in the Cerrado to the Distrito Federal and the state of Tocantins , and in the Amazon biome to the state of Amazonas . In addition, this study provides the first records of this species in the Atlantic Forest biome in the states of Alagoas , Bahia , Espírito Santo , Paraíba , and Pernambuco ( Fig. 15B ).
