Resumen
Scotaena is considered a dumping ground genus of the Neotropical thynnine, having both a complicated taxonomy and a poorly known geographical distribution. This work presents the first records of Scotaena decora (Smith, 1859), and Scotaena polistoides Turner, 1910 in 13 areas of the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest in São Paulo state, Brazil. Both species were previously known only from their type localities, in Amazonia, Brazil and Chaco, Paraguay, respectively. These new records expand the range of distributions of both species to a new biome and contribute to the natural history of the genus.
