First record of Micrepeira hoeferi (Araneae, Araneidae) in the state of Ceará, Brazil

We report the first two records of Micrepeira hoeferi Levi, 1995 from the state of Ceará, Brazil. These records are based on the collection of 19 specimens from two nearby montane, semi-deciduous tropical forests located in the municipalities of Pacoti and Baturité. The specimens were deposited as voucher material in the Natural History Collection of the Federal University of Piauí.

This report also represents the highest elevation at which M. hoeferi has been recorded (738 m a.s.l.), suggesting that the species is highly adaptable to a range of habitats.
