Typophorus florigradus Bechyné & Špringlová, 1961 (Chrysomelidae, Eumolpinae) has been described based on material sampled from flowers of Convolvulaceae and Commelinaceae species in Utinga, state of Pará, Brazil, in 1960. After its description, there have been no new reports about its behavior or host plants. The present note thus aims to record its abundant presence in canopies of Callisthene fasciculata (Spr.) Mart. (Vochysiaceae) in the northern Pantanal region of Mato Grosso, Brazil.
