The Neotropical genus Ephydrolithus Girón & Short, 2019 was recently established based on five species. In 2022 five additional species were described, all of them from the Espinhaço Mountain Range, in the states of Minas Gerais and Bahia, Brazil. During an aquatic insect survey in three states in the Northeast region of Brazil, we collected two new species of Ephydrolithus in the states of Bahia, Ceará and Pernambuco, one of the new species collected in the two latter states, represent the first record of this genus outside the Espinhaço Mountain Range, expanding its distribution to other Brazilian states. The objective of this study is to describe two new species of Ephydrolithus based on both male and female specimens. We also provide an updated identification key and distributional maps for the genus.
新热带属Ephydrolithus Girón & Short于2019年最近基于五个物种建立。2022年又描述了另外五个物种，它们都来自巴西米纳斯吉拉斯州和巴伊亚州的埃斯皮尼亚苏山脉。在巴西东北部三个州进行水生昆虫调查期间，我们在巴伊亚州、塞阿拉州和伯南布哥州采集到了两种新的Ephydrolithus物种，后两个州采集到的其中一个新物种代表了该属在埃斯皮尼亚苏山脉以外的首次记录，将其分布范围扩展到了巴西的其他州。本研究的目的是基于雄性和雌性标本描述两种新的Ephydrolithus物种。我们还提供了该属的最新鉴定检索表和分布图。
