P. O. Box 141874 Gainesville, FL 32614-1874 USA http://centerforsystematicentomology.org/ Insecta Mundi is a journal primarily devoted to insect systematics, but articles can be published on any non-marine arthropod. Topics considered for publication include systematics, taxonomy, nomenclature, checklists, faunal works, and natural history. Insecta Mundi will not consider works in the applied sciences (i.e. medical entomology, pest control research, etc.), and no longer publishes book reviews or editorials. Insecta Mundi publishes original research or discoveries in an inexpensive and timely manner, distributing them free via open access on the internet on the date of publication. Insecta Mundi is referenced or abstracted by several sources including the Zoological Record, CAB Ab- stracts, etc. Insecta Mundi is published irregularly throughout the year, with completed manuscripts assigned an individual number. Manuscripts must be peer reviewed prior to submission, after which they are reviewed by the editorial board to ensure quality. One author of each submitted manuscript must be a current member of the Center for Systematic Entomology. Chief Editor: David Plotkin, e-mail: [email protected] Assistant Editor: Paul E.

Wappes American Coleoptera Museum 8734 Paisano Pass San Antonio, TX 78255-3523, USA [email protected] Antonio Santos-Silva Museu de Zoologia Universidade de São Paulo CP 188, 90001-970 São Paulo, SP, Brazil [email protected] Abstract. Nine new species of Rhinotragini (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae) are described from the Neotropical region: Odontocera galileoae (Mexico); Odontocera mthomasi (Guatemala); Ecliptoides vandenberghei (Nicaragua); Eclipta ricei and Odontocera skelleyi (Costa Rica); Eclipta nearnsi (Panama); Odontocera stangei (Venezuela); Chariergodes lingafelteri and Ischasia martinsi (Costa Rica and Panama). Ischasia rufi na Thomson, 1864 is formally excluded from the fauna of Costa Rica and Panama, and Nicaragua is added as a new country record for Eclipta fi cta Bezark, Martins and Santos-Silva, 2013. Notes on Ecliptoides monostigma (Bates, 1869) are provided in the “Diagnosis” of E. vandenberghei. Key Words. Eclipta, new species, Odontocera, new country records, taxonomy. Introduction The large Cerambycinae tribe Rhinotragini Thomson, 1861 is composed of almost 90 genera, which include more than 500 species (Monné 2016). The tribe is not only large in numbers but also extremely diverse, with its members differing widely in form and appearance. Many of its genera, especially the larger ones such as Eclipta Bates, 1873 (58 species) and Odontocera Audinet-Serville, 1833 (78 species), include species that have anatomical characters in disagreement with the original description of the genus. Sometimes even their physical appearance differs greatly from the type species of the genus. Thus, in general terms, much of the tribe is, or at least until very recently has been, in need of revision- ary work. Fortunately, that process was started late in the 20th century with works by Giesbert and Hovore (1989), Monné and Giesbert (1992), and Giesbert (1996). Additionally, early in the 21st century we experienced an increased effort to restore order to the classifi cation of the Rhinotragini by experi- enced cerambycid taxonomists including: Peñaherrera-Leiva and Tavakilian (2003, 2004), Tavakilian and Peñaherrera-Leiva (2003, 2005, 2007); Martins and Santos-Silva (2010); Martins et al. (2012a, 2012b); Santos-Silva et al. (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013); Clarke (2009a, 2009b, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013a, 2013b, 2014a, 2014b, 2015); Clarke et al. (2011, 2012); and Carelli and Monné (2015). This effort has greatly improved species placement in the Rhinotragini, yet much remains to be done. Hence, in some instances, species described herein are provisionally placed in a genus based on similarity to species already included, even though it is recognized that such assignment is likely to change as revisionary work for the genus is done. Where this is the case, it is so indicated in the diagnosis of the species.

Eclipta ricei is similar to Odontocera vittipennis Bates, 1873 (a species that is misplaced in Odontocera Audinet-Serville, 1833 and will surely be moved out of Odontocera as revisionary work is done on the genus). It differs as follows: elytra lighter, with translucent area less delimited; metasternum and ventrites only partially, abundantly, fi nely punctate (metasternum with smooth central area and abdominal ventrites sparsely punctate centrally); metatibiae thickened apically; metatarsi about 0.25 times length of metatibiae. In O. vittipennis the elytra are darker, the translucent area well delimited, the entire metasternum and
