Newly discovered specimens of Costitachys inusitatus Erwin provide characte
rs of the male, heretofore unknown, and extend the range beyond the type lo
cality into two biogeographic regions of South America, the "North Atlantic
Coast" and "Lower Amazon-Mid-Atlantic Coast." Male characters provide litt
le additional information useful in establishing relationships of this rema
rkably distinctive species, although they affirm its position among the hig
her Tachyina.
