Lamyctes

Distribution. Only a few records of lithobiomorphs are available for Brazil in the literature, mainly stemming from the Amazonian and Atlantic Forests in the southeast. Buecherl (1942) described sightings of Lithobius forficatus (Linnaeus, 1758) in Bahia state. This species was originally identified by Broelemann (1909). However, Buecherl (1942) suggests that the specimen in that publication was not L. forficatus, but an unknown introduced lithobiomorph. Here, we recorded Lamyctes specimens in several caves from Para, Mato Grosso, Bahia, Minas Gerais, and Sao Paulo.
