Abstract
Dilocarcinus laevifrons Moreira, 1901, has been registered from Pernambuco (1901) and Amazon (1969) States, Brazil, but a complete description of the species was lacking. New records are here reported that expand the distribution of this species to the Colombian Amazon region, and the collected specimens permit a complete taxonomic description.
