The genus Antodice Thomson, 1864 was revised by Martins Galileo (1998) and currently includes 27 species (Tavakilian Chevillotte 2017), distributed from Mexico to southern South America. Based on a single female specimen collected in Arroyo Cristal, Ka'azapá, Paraguay, the species Antodice quadrimaculata was first described by Martins Galileo in 2003. The holotype specimen was collected on 20 November 1999 by J. Jensen and is deposited in the Museum of Zoology of the University of São Paulo, Brazil. With the help of Carlos Aguilar, from Paraguay's National Museum of Natural History, we were able to determine the exact location where the holotype was collected. With the collection and the description of the male, presented herein, we describe the male of this species record its occurrence in Brazil, a new country record.We identified this species as belonging to the group of Antodice species with yellowish flagellomeres and a black apex, resembling Antodice venustula Lane, 1973 in its elytral color pattern. In A. venustula, the elytra are covered with whitish pubescence and exhibit only two patches of compact white pubescence. In A. quadrimaculata, according to Martins Galileo (2003), the elytra are of a reddish color with whitish pubescence on the dorsal anterior area and close to the apexes, and they also have three patches of compact white pubescence. The specimens of A. quadrimaculata cited herein were collected in the Iguaçu National Park (Parque Nacional do Iguaçu-PNI), the largest fragment of Atlantic forest in southern Brazil, located in the western region of the state of Paraná. The insects were collected using light traps, set up on nights with a new moon. The artificial light source was a 500-Watt incandescent lamp powered by a Honda EP 2500 generator. Sampling began at 6 p.m., ending between midnight and 3 a.m. the next day. The studied material was deposited in the entomological collection of the Museum of Zoology at the State University of Londrina (Universidade Estadual de Londrina), Londrina, Brazil (MZUEL). To better represent the expansion of the geographical distribution of the species from the holotype recorded in Paraguay (Fig. 5, 6), the cartographic material (Fig. 1) was produced using ArcGIS Software 9.0®. The map database was obtained from the Institute of Land, Cartography and Geosciences, (Instituto de Terras, Cartografia e Geologia do Paraná), Curitiba, Brazil (ITCG).
1864年汤姆森所建立的安托迪斯属（Antodice）由马丁斯·伽利略（Martins Galileo）于1998年进行了修订，目前包含27个物种（塔瓦基利安和谢维洛特，2017年），分布范围从墨西哥至南美洲南部。基于在巴拉圭亚卡亚扎帕的克里斯塔尔河采集到的一个雌性标本，马丁斯·伽利略于2003年首次描述了四斑安托迪斯（Antodice quadrimaculata）物种。正模标本由J. 詹森于1999年11月20日采集，现存放于巴西圣保罗大学动物博物馆。在巴拉圭亚国家自然历史博物馆的卡洛斯·阿吉拉尔的帮助下，我们得以确定正模标本的采集确切地点。通过本文所呈现的该物种雄性标本的采集与描述，我们描述了该物种的雄性个体，并记录了其在巴西的出现情况，这是一个新的国家记录。我们将该物种鉴定为属于具有淡黄色鞭节和黑色顶端的安托迪斯物种组，其鞘翅颜色模式类似于1973年的优雅安托迪斯（Antodice venustula Lane）。在优雅安托迪斯中，鞘翅覆盖着白色短柔毛，仅呈现两块紧密的白色短柔毛斑块。而根据马丁斯·伽利略（2003年）的描述，在四斑安托迪斯中，鞘翅呈红色，在背面前部区域以及靠近顶端处有白色短柔毛，并且还有三块紧密的白色短柔毛斑块。本文引用的四斑安托迪斯标本是在巴西巴拉那州西部地区的伊瓜苏国家公园（Parque Nacional do Iguaçu - PNI）采集的，该公园是巴西南部大西洋森林的最大片段。这些昆虫是使用在新月夜设置的诱虫灯采集的。人工光源是一盏由本田EP 2500发电机供电的500瓦白炽灯。采样于下午6点开始，在午夜至次日凌晨3点之间结束。所研究的材料存放在巴西隆德里纳州立大学（Universidade Estadual de Londrina）隆德里纳动物博物馆的昆虫标本收藏中（MZUEL）。为了更好地展示该物种地理分布从巴拉圭亚记录的正模标本的扩展情况（图5、6），使用ArcGIS Software 9.0®制作了地图材料（图1）。地图数据库来自巴西库里蒂巴的巴拉那土地、制图与地球科学研究所（Instituto de Terras, Cartografia e Geologia do Paraná）（ITCG）。
