Abstract

A new species of Dicordylus (Coleoptera, Belidae, Pachyurinae, Agnesiotidini) is described from Brazil. Dicordylus vanini sp. nov. differs from the other three known species mainly by the presence of a dorsal, decumbent, reddish-orange pubescence, and by the absence of a rounded spot near the center of each elytron. An updated identification key as well as an illustration of new species are provided.
