Abstract

We present the first documented record of Neocrex erythrops (Sclater, 1816) from Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil. An adult male was found dead near the campus buildings at the Universidade de Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The individual was collected and is vouchered in the zoological collection of the Museu de Ciências Naturais da Universidade de Caixas do Sul. This new record is the first documented occurrence of this species in Rio Grande do Sul.
