Abstract

Here a new record for Temnomastax beni is presented, a species previously known only for the type locality in Bolivia. The new record for Brazil, in Acre state, increases the geographic distribution of the species by 520 Km. Furthermore, it allows us to perform a better comparison with other species of the genus. An additional description of external morphology is presented, as well as the first description of the phallic complex.
