Abstract

We recorded for the first time the lesser dung fly Maculantrops hirtipes (Macquart, 1844MACQUART, J. 1844. Dipteres exotiques nouveaux ou peu connus. Vol. 2 Pt. 3 me. Memoires de la Societe royale des Sciences de I’Agriculture et des Arts de Lille, v. 1842, p.424.) from Brazil, state of Rio Grande do Sul. Twenty-five specimens were reared from the dung of Myocastor coypus (Molina, 1782), this is the first record of the feeding substrate for the genus Maculantrops and the second only for the Archiborborinae. In addition, we describe the puparium, provide an updated distribution map and additional photographs of the species.
