Distribution. Cheiromyia brevitarsis is known from northern South America, including Colombia, Guyana, French Guiana and Brazil (Amapá, Amazonas, Maranhão, Pará, Roraima, plus the new records from Ceará, Piauí, Pernambuco, Sergipe and Tocantins listed above). Although now the most abundantly collected species in the genus (over 150 specimens listed here and in Brooks et al. 2010), of the 37 sites investigated in the intensive survey of the Mitaraka Mountains of French Guiana, only a single male of this species was taken in a swampy forest near the Sommet-en-Cloche inselberg (Fig. 27) (Pollet et al. 2018). Figures 28–30 show collecting localities in the Brazilan National Parks of Chapada das Mesas (Maranhão), Serra das Confusões (Piauí) and Ubajara (Ceará) where specimens of C. brevitarsis were collected along with specimens of C. carolina Limeira-de-Oliveira & Brooks sp. nov. and C. nordestina Limeira-de-Oliveira & Cumming sp. nov.
