Abstract

Pseudostomella dolichopoda was originally described from the north coast of São Paulo, Brazil, and P. cataphracta from North Carolina, USA. Herein we report new distributional records of both species: P. dolichopoda is recorded from Espírito Santo, Brazil and P. cataphracta from Florida, USA. An updated identification key for the genus Pseudostomella is also provided.
