Two new species of Ceracis Mellié, 1849 (Coleoptera: Ciidae) from Brazil, with a supplementary description and new distributional records of Ceracis nigropunctatus Lawrence, 1967.

RESUMO: Here, we describe two new species of Ceracis Mellié from Brazil: Ceracis exitelonotum sp. nov., from the Pantanal biome, based on specimens from Mato Grosso (Center-West Region of Brazil); and Ceracis tetradium sp. nov. from an urban area within the Atlantic Forest biome, based on specimens from Minas Gerais (Southeast Region of Brazil). Additionally, we describe and illustrate the male and female abdominal terminalia of Ceracis nigropunctatus Lawrence, which is morphologically similar to Cer. exitelonotum sp. nov., and provide the first report of its occurrence in Brazil.
