Abstract

We record for the first time the species Pelecinus polyturator (Drury, 1773) in the Ceará state, Brazil. Most specimens were collected in March, the peak of the rainy season in the humid mountain ranges. In addition, digital images of the P. polyturator and a map with the geographical distribution of the species are presented.
