Tominotus brevis (Signoret)

Aethus (Tominotus) brevis Signoret, 1881: 426 .

Aelhus neotropicus Jensen-Haarup, 1926: 49, syn. by Froeschner, 1960. Tominotus brevis: Froeschner, 1960: 547 .

Distribution: Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil.

Remarks: This species is easily recognizable by the markedly yellowed tibiae in contrast with the rest of the body reddish–brown; T. signoreti shares the broad scutellar apex in comparison with the others Brazilian species of the genus, but not presents conspicuous differences on the body color (Fig. 14F). The specimens collected in Brazil do not bear exact locality.
