“…It occurs in the Amazon and Atlantic Forest biomes but it is a rare sight in scientific collections (Dixon and Soini 1986;Cunha and Nascimento 1978;Martins and Oliveira 1998;Argôlo 2004). The species has been recorded for Colombia (Pérez-Santos and Moreno 1988), Ecuador (Pérez-Santos and Moreno 1991), Peru (Schlüter et al 2004), Bolivia (Harvey et al 1998), French Guyana (Starace 1998) and from the Brazilian states of Acre, Amazonas, Rondônia, Pará, Mato Grosso, Bahia and São Paulo (Wucherer 1861;Cunha and Nascimento 1993;Silva Jr 1993;Waldez and Vogt 2009;Bernarde and Abe 2010;Bernarde et al 2011;Zaher et al 2011). In this study, we present a new record of X. scalaris from an Atlantic Forest area in southeastern Brazil.…”
