The genus Teloneria Aczél, 1954 is resurrected from synonymy with Chaetonerius Hendel, 1913 to include four species: apicata (Edwards, 1919) comb. nov., bimaculata juceliae Sepúlveda & Souza sp. nov. and ladyae Lectotypes for Telostylus apicatus Edwards, 1919 its junior synonym, Telostylinus apicalis Enderlein, 1922, ornatipennis synonym of are designated. An identification key Chaetonerius, Bigot, 1859 Teloneria, emphasis on the species illustrations distribution data provided.
A new species of Ethiopian Neriidae, Chaetonerius serratus sp. n., is described from Madagascar. Differential characters are provided along with photographs and illustrations the type material, including details male genitalia. The key for identification Hendel East African islands by Sepúlveda de Carvalho (2019) modified to include species.
The diagnosis of Ozineus Bates, 1863 is emended and a key provided for the species genus in South America. A new synonymy proposed Sternacutus Gilmour, 1961 (junior synonym 1863), which includes combination zikani (Melzer, 1935). Tropidozineus albidus Monné, 2009 transferred to Ozineus.
A synopsis of the flat-faced longhorned beetle genus Pseudocriopsis Melzer, 1931 is presented. abare sp. nov. described from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. arthuri Audureau, 2017 transferred to Leptostylus LeConte, 1852, as comb.
Chaetonerius Hendel is the only native genus of Neriidae from African continent, with 21 species described. Although widely distributed across Afrotropical region, are still poorly known and recent efforts being devoted to clarify taxonomy family discover its diversity. Here, we describe a new neriid Tanzania, stichodactylus sp. n. Illustrations male holotype, including external internal genitalia, presented key for Tanzania provided.
Plistonax Thomson, 1864 is a Neotropical genus of longhorned beetles (Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) currently composed six species. Herein, we describe new species (Plistonax albituberculatus Silva Júnior Souza sp. nov.) from Brazilian States Rio de Janeiro and Bahia. We also propose the transference Exalphus hefferni Audureau, 2017 to Plistonax, resulting in following comb. nov.: (Audureau, 2017).
An extensive checklist of the Cerambycidae deposited in Entomological Collection Federal University Rondônia (UNIR) is provided. The includes photographs 58 new records for State Rondônia, four them representing Brazil: Oncideres wappesi Martins & Galileo, 2005, Rhaphiptera boliviana Galileo Martins, 2007, Tulcus liturus (Dillon Dillon, 1945) and Xenofrea zischkai 2012.
Cerambycidae is one of the largest families beetles and it estimated that there are about 25,000 species longhorned in world. However, little known distribution many some regions, including Amazon. The indispensable ecological chain, contributing mostly to recycling dead wood forest. present study an inventory Parque Natural Municipal de Porto Velho, Rondônia, Brazil. Insects were sampled from June 2008 May 2009 using Malaise light traps. A total 61 identified, which 33 new records for...
Anthomyiidae is a family of flies distributed worldwide comprising approximately 2,000 species, which, based on molecular analyses, belong to the Muscoidea grade. The phylogenetic data for this are limited and Neotropical lineages have never been studied at level. Herein, we present first analyses including taxa. resulting trees – inferred using maximum-likelihood Bayesian criteria two nuclear three mitochondrial genes 56 terminals, 13 anthomyiid species confirmed as monophyletic lineage...
Synopsis of the genus Exalphus Restello, Iannuzzi & Marinoni (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae), with description a new species and country records. A synopsis Restello et al., 2001 is presented. solangeae sp. nov. described from Brazil (Amazonas). key to identification illustrations for 14 provided, notes on distribution records are included nine species: E. biannulatus (Aurivillius, 1921), calvifrons (Bates, 1872), colasi (Lane, 1965), foveatus (Marinoni Martins, 1978), gounellei 1973),...
A revision of the genus Ateralphus Restello, Iannuzzi & Marinoni, 2001, based on detailed study morphology type-species and external terminalia others species is presented. The are redescribed three new described. composed nine species: A. dejeani (Lane, 1973), javariensis 1965), lacteus Galileo Martins, 2006, senilis (Bates, 1862), subsellatus (White, 1855), variegatus (Mendes, 1938), auritarsus species, lucianeae tumidus species. key for identification maps their geographical...
Abstract Understanding how novel adaptive traits arise, evolve and impact other aspects of an organism's phenotype is a foundational question in evolutionary biology. We explore this by focusing on Onciderini (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae), tribe longhorn beetles commonly referred to as twig girdlers because the females some species girdle live trees deposit their eggs. reconstructed first time‐calibrated phylogeny Onciderini, based three genetic markers (cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1...
The Eoneria -group was proposed to gather species with opaque antennal base from all biogeographical regions. Recently, the redefined comprise only three genera Neotropical Region: Antillonerius , Eoloxozus and . Herein, we redescribe of perform a phylogenetic analysis based on 49 morphological characters. Our results corroborate monophyly (excluding bistriatus (Williston)), supported by nine synapomorphies. solitarius (Johnson) stat. rev. is revalidated synonymy cinereus (Röder) key for in...
Alphus marinonii sp. nov., new species from Peru and Brazil (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae). A of Alphus, A. (Rondonia) is described. Key to identification pictures for the four genus are provided. Notes on distribution tuberosus included, with a record (Goias Mato Grosso do Sul).
Ateralphus Restello, Iannuzzi & Marinoni, 2001 is a Neotropical genus of longhorn beetles composed nine species. This was proposed from splitting Alphus White, 1855 into other two genera: and Exalphus 2001. Even though (nine species), (four) (18) were recently revised, their validity has not been tested using phylogenetic methods. In this study, we carried out cladistic analysis its related genera, Exalphus, based on 44 morphological characters the adults, to test monophyly infer...
We present new records for 42 species of longhorn beetles (Cerambycinae) in the Amazon Region, including first report Tomopteropsis cerdai Peñaherrera-Leiva & Tavakilian, 2003 Brazil (Rondônia). New state are provided Amapá (one species), Amazonas (six Pará Rondônia (seven Roraima (13 and Acre (17 species). The expand known distribution illustrate important role played by inventories like thematic network "Biodiversidade de Insetos na Amazônia" (Rede BIA) helping us understand biodiversity region.
Colobotheini is a tribe of Lamiinae (Cerambycidae) which includes 189 species classified into 12 genera (Monné, 2016). This characterized by trapezoidal frons, contiguous antennal tubercles, prothorax without lateral spines, elytra elongate with carina, metatarsomere I and tarsal claws divaricate (Galileo & Martins, 2006).
