Abstract

The Cerrado biome is a vast ecoregion of tropical savanna in eastern Brazil. The leaf beetle species Platyphora flavozonata (Blanchard, 1843) is a new record for Parque Estadual Altamiro de Moura Pacheco in the Cerrado biome. Distribution of record of the species, the high-resolution photos and notes on external morphology are provided.
