Remarks
Mycotretus brasilianus resembles M. magus (Fig. 32D) in the colour pattern of the pronotum, the serrate elytral bands and in having a hexagonal black spot on the head, but M. magus is slightly more elongated than M. brasilianus. It is possible these species are closely related or even conspecific. However, we studied only females and, therefore, we prefer not to synonymize them at this moment. The body coloration of M. brasilianus also resembles that of M. chilensis (Fig. 4F), but there is no cephalic spot or mark in the latter.
