Remarks: Notoalona sculpta is part of a small group from the Chydoridae , with two other valid species ( Rajapaksa and Fernando, 1987; Van Damme et al., 2013). Although an addition to its description is necessary, N. sculpta is recognized by: globular body, head pores bean-like, lateral margin of head shield without a notch; postabdomen elongated, postanal portion nearly distally armed with about 14 very short marginal denticles, distalmost lateral fascicles exceeding the margin of postabdomen.
Distribution: Neotropics (Van Damme et al., 2013). In Brazil, the species occurs in the Amazônica, Tocantins /Araguaia, Paraná, Paraguai, São Francisco, Atlântico Nordeste Ocidental, Nordeste Oriental, Leste, Sudeste, and Sul hydrographic regions ( Elmoor-Loureiro, 2017).
