Abstract

Cetacisis a genus of minute fungus beetles distributed troughout the New World, with some species occurring in Indo-Pacific Islands. Even though the Nearctic species had been revised, there are still many undescribed species from the Neotropical Region. The delimitation of  species-groups is useful for the study of biogeography and phylogeny of taxa with a considerable number of undescribe species. In this work, we delimit the Ceracis singularis group on the basis of peculiar morphological characteres and describe a new species belonging to this group.
