%X this paper presents a male specimen of sciopemyia sordellii with a rare bilateral anomaly, consisting in eight spines in a style and five in the other. this species has four spines in each style as its normal number. the specimen was captured using a cdc light trap, in a forested area in the state park "floresta estadual edmundo navarro de andrade", in may 2004, located in the city of rio claro, s£¿o paulo state, brazil. similar anomaly was once described but this is the first specimen found with a bilateral alteration. it may cause confusion in taxonomic identification and even lead to description of new species, increasing the number of synonymies.
