Circoniscus bezzii Arcangelii 1931

Circoniscus bezzii Arcangeliı 1931 Distribution Circoniscus bezzii is recorded from the Brazilian states of Esp��rito Santoı Mato Grossoı Minas Gerais and S��o Pauloı and with dubious record from Paraguay (Souza-Kury and Lemos de Castro 1991; Schultz 1995; Schmidt 2007). In cavesı it is recorded from Caverna Vereda da Palha caveı Presidente Oleg��rioı state of Minas Gerais (Campos-Filho et al. 2014). Remarks Arcangeli (1931) described Circoniscus bezzii from Carandasinhoı state of Mato Grosso. Souza-Kury and Lemos de Castro (1991) extended its distribution for the states of Esp��rito Santoı Minas Gerais and S��o Paulo. Schultz (1995) recorded this species from province of Canendiyuı Paraguayı mentioned that C. gracilidens Souza and Lemos de Castroı 1991 [synonym of C. incisus (see Schmidt 2007)]ı C. incisus Souza and Lemos de Castroı 1991 ı and C. pallidus Arcangeliı 1936 probably are synonyms of C. bezzii (the author did not include these species in the synonym list of C. bezzii)ı and misinterpreted its distribution for the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro to Rio de La Plata drainage; the latter without accuracy (this drainage is located between Argentina and Uruguay) (see Schultz 1995). Leistikow and W��gele (1999) considered the paper of Schultz (1995) and misunderstood the distribution of C. bezzii for the states of P��ra and Minas Gerais. This species has never been recorded from Par�� and this misinterpretation was followed by subsequent authors (Schmalfuss 2003; Campos-Filho et al. 2014 ı 2018a). Schmidt (2007) with material from Rio de Janeiro and S��o Paulo re-described the species and based on pereonites 1 and 2 epimera with ventral lobesı mentioned that Schultz ��� s specimens probably belong to C. incisus. Regarding the previous informationı the correct distribution of C. bezzii are those localities in Souza- Kury and Lemos de Castro (1991) ı Schmidt (2007) and Campos-Filho et al. (2014). This species occurs in Atlantic forest and Pantanal areas (Souza-Kury and Lemos de Castro 1991; Schmidt 2007)ı and it is considered accidental in cave environments.
