Etymology. The trivial name, minas, constitutes a noun in apposition and refers to the type locality.
Remarks. Enoclerus minas is from the Cordillera Oriental Complex and the Brazilian Highlands (Opitz 2005). The red legs and elytral color pattern, along with a subparallel aedeagus that is narrowed apically distinguish this species from all others in this region.
