Descriptions of the first Ciidae (Coleoptera: Tenebrionoidea) from the oceanic archipelago of Fernando de Noronha, Brazil
In this study, we describe four new species of Ciidae from Fernando de Noronha, representing the first ciid species recorded from the archipelago and from any Brazilian oceanic island: Ceracis caio Souza-Gonçalves & Lopes-Andrade sp. nov., Ceracis italo Souza-Gonçalves & Lopes-Andrade sp. nov., Cis ayessa Souza-Gonçalves & Lopes-Andrade sp. nov., and Cis paula Souza-Gonçalves & Lopes-Andrade sp. nov.. These discoveries underscore the significance of investigating the ciid fauna of Brazilian islands, which appears to be entirely distinct from that of the mainland.
