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 and CAB Abstracts. 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.

A new species of Buprestis L., 1758, B. pinyoni Westcott and Burfitt (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), is described from Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. It is compared to other species in the subgenus Buprestis. Key words. Taxonomy, Buprestini, jewel beetles, pinyon pine. Introduction Trapping programs conducted by the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food to detect exotic woodborers, such as the destructive emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, 1888 (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), resulted in the discovery of a single specimen of a new species in the genus Buprestis Linnaeus, 1758, from southwestern Utah. Subsequently, more specimens were located in material bor- rowed from museum collections, and these led to more focused placement of traps in hope of capturing additional specimens. Overall, 18 additional specimens became available for study, all but one being female. Most were from traps, and most were imperfect, some grossly so. Only three specimens had been collected alive in Nature. Materials and Methods Traps employed in this study included Lindgren funnels with various baits (see paratype data) and purple panel traps. Field collecting by beating suspected hosts, pinyon pines, was limited and unsuc- cessful in finding the target species. Plant names are taken from USDA, NRCS (2020).

Holotype male: 15.2 mm long, 6.3 mm wide, widest across basal ¼ of elytra; dorsally convex, more so basally on elytra; shining black above, black with light copper and purple reflections below; integument with dark yellow markings as follows: head almost entirely except for vertex, short triangular lateral/sublateral areas each side of prothorax, small lateral spot on each side ventrite 4, a larger lateral marking each side of ventrite 5. Setae white. Head finely, moderately densely punctured and with short subrecumbent setae, front flattened. Pronotum distinctly narrower than elytra, widest basally, rather abruptly narrowing at about basal ¼, then converging to apex; lateral margins sharp and distinct on basal half, not evident anteriorly; anterior margin broadly shallowly arcuate medially; hind margin shallowly bisinuate; front angles subquadrate, hind angles quadrate; surface coarsely punctured, moderately densely so on disc, reticulately so on sides, punctures with a minute white seta. Elytra widest behind humeral region to past middle, then gradu- ally converging to subtruncate apex that bears a tiny sutural tooth on each side; slightly swollen back of base. Each elytron with surface uneven, a large quadrate shallowly depressed area at about middle, formed by transverse raised ridges; striae finely impressed, more prominent on basal half, minutely and indistinctly punctured; intervals mostly well-defined, distinctly yet about equally elevated, with some portions flattened, punctures fine and irregularly scattered.Prosternum with anterior portion at middle finely sparsely punctate, the setae indistinct, becoming moderately coarsely reticulate-punctate at sides and with distinct setae, process with scattered indistinct punctures, the setae minute. Foretibia armed with a prominent retrorse sagittate tooth. Venter with sparsely to densely placed fine to medium size punctures, the distinct recumbent setae much shorter and sparse on middle, quite long elsewhere; first ventrite broadly, shallowly, longitudinally sulcate at middle, last ventrite with apical margin broadly subtruncate
