Abstract
Scaphisoma nigrofasciatum Pic is a shining fungus beetle whose distribution was recorded from the Asian continent and three insular African countries. This paper presents a new record of this species from Brazil. In this paper, photographs of specimens from both Brazil and Asia are provided, accompanied by a brief new redescription. A preliminary hypothesis suggests that this species may have been introduced to Brazil alongside flamboyant trees.
