Material examined. 1 male (CW 11.78 × CL 13.65 mm), station SM06, 15.xi.2019 ( CCDB 7456 View Materials ) ; 1 female (CW 12.62 × CL 13.57 mm), station IP05, 05.i.2021 ( CCDB 7457 View Materials ) .

Geographic distribution. Western Atlantic— Colombia, Venezuela, and Brazil (Amapá, Pará, Maranhão, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, Sergipe, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná) ( Rathbun 1925; Melo et al. 1989; Melo 1996, 1998; 2008; Barros & Pimentel 2001; Cruz-Castaño & Campos 2003; Melo & Veloso 2005; Almeida et al. 2007a, b; Mantelatto et al. 2020; present study).

Remarks. This is the first record of Notolapas brasiliensis from Espírito Santo state. The values of the BLAST query cover (> 78%) and percent identity (>85%) were suitable for this identification, since our sequences aligned with other of the same species ( MF490198 View Materials , Mantelatto et al. 2018) and a congeneric species N. lamellatus Stimpson, 1871 ( MK309586 View Materials , Colavite et al. 2019). Sequence accession number (GenBank): CCDB 7456—16S (OR500064) (present study).
