Abstract

Corticotomus feisorum Kippenhan, new species is described and illustrated from specimens collected in the Brazilian states of Rondônia and São Paulo; this new species is differentiated from other Corticotomus Sharp, 1891 species exhibiting similar dorsal coloration. Photos, a diagnosis, and new country records are provided for Corticotomus quadrimaculatus (Léveillé, 1894), a similarly colored species also occurring in Brazil. A key to the species of the genus inhabiting South America is provided.
