Abstract

Based on the paratype of Bledius caribbeanus, its distribution is corrected, not occurring in Brazil, and its morphology is compared to B. hermani; two new Bledius species from the coast of Brazil are described; B. externus is redescribed and here for the first time recorded in Brazil and the key to identification of Brazilian coastal Bledius is updated.
