The current status of knowledge on Lycidae Laporte, 1836 from Brazil (Insecta: Coleoptera) [with erratum]

Abstract: Lycids are often very aposematic toxic beetles, and are considered models in mimicry systems. They are cosmopolitan, with the highest diversity around tropical regions, however the knowledge of the South American lycids is yet relatively poor. Here I present an overview of the Brazilian lycids including a complete list of species and updated occurrence data.

“…Many interesting insects were reported from the Atlantic Forest, including the bioluminescent larvae of Keroplatidae fungus gnats (Diptera) [ 64 ] and rove beetles (Staphylinidae) [ 65 ], the first Neotropical meropeid Mecoptera [ 66 ], ant-brood parasitizing scuttle flies (Phoridae) [ 67 ], and many others. The late discovery of Jurasaidae in the Atlantic Forest might seem surprising at first sight, but considering high numbers of recently reported new lineages in other soft-bodied elateroids, including Lampyridae [ 56 , 57 , 68 , 69 , 70 , 71 , 72 , 73 , 74 ], Lycidae [ 19 , 75 ], and Phengodidae [ 76 , 77 ], it is much less surprising. For example, Silveira et al [ 57 ] examined the diversity of fireflies (Lampyridae) in the Serra do Órgãos (a subrange of the Serra do Mar), and, for the first time, collected 58 previously described species along with another 42 yet-undescribed species, which makes the Serra do Órgãos one of the richest firefly hotspots on Earth.…”

“…Nascimento & Bocakova (2017) elevated F. irregularis var. germaini Pic, 1931 to species rank and extended the distribution of F. paranana (Pic, 1922) to Paraguay, a species described originally from Argentina and also found in Brazil (Nascimento, 2013). Hence, all species of Falsocaenia are restricted to Neotropical region with three species recorded from Brazil so far.…”

“…According to Costa (2000), there are 776 lycid species in 39 genera from the Neotropical region. In Brazil, there are 183 species and 32 genera (Nascimento 2013, Nascimento and. In Peru, Bocakova et al (2015) In Colombia, there are no comprehensive studies on the lycid fauna apart from the original descriptions of species and genera and a few geographical distributional notes.…”
