Abstract

Barra tocantinensis Vilhena, Lopes & Mermudes sp. nov. (Anthribinae: Piesocorynini) is described from Serra do Lajeado Ecological Reserve (Fazenda Céu), a threatened biome in central-western Brazil. A key to the all known species of Barra is presented. New data on the distribution of the genus are provided.
