We report the long overlooked first record of Sapphire Quail-Dove Geotrygon saphirina in Brazil, a male specimen collected at Sao Paulo de Olivenca, Amazonas state, in March 1923, by Samuel M. Klages. This is the first and only documented record for the country, pre-dating a sight record from Benjamin Constant, in extreme western Brazil, in April 1966.
