Taxonomic revision of Phygopoda Thomson, 1864 and Pseudophygopoda Tavakilian & Peñaherrera-Leiva, 2007 (Insecta: Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae) Robin O. S. Clarke Hotel Flora and Fauna, Buena Vista Santa Cruz de La Sierra, Bolivia [email protected] Abstract. The taxonomic history of the rhinotragine genera Phygopoda Thomson, 1864 and Pseudophygopoda Tavakilian and Peñaherrera-Leiva, 2007 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae) are discussed, and evidence is presented to suggest that some recent taxonomic changes made by Carelli and Monné (2015) were unjustified. Consequently, Phygopoda nigritarsis Gounelle, 1911 is moved to the genus Neophygopoda Melzer, 1933, creating the new combination Neophygopoda nigritarsis, the genera Panamapoda Clarke, 2014 and Paraphygopoda Clarke, 2014 are revalidated, and the species Paraphygopoda viridimicans (Fisher, 1952) and Paraphygopoda nappae Clarke, 2014 are also revalidated. Key words. New combination, revalidations, Rhinotragini, taxonomy. Introduction Tavakilian and Peñaherrera-Leiva (2007) described the monotypic genus Pseudophygopoda for Phygopoda subvestita (White, 1855). They did not include Phygopoda albitarsis (Klug, 1825) or Phygopoda panamaensis Giesbert, 1996 in their genus, nor Epimelitta longipennis Zajciw, 1963 and Epimelitta viridimicans (Fisher, 1952). They diagnosed their genus (apparently based on three females) as follows: Rostrum moderately long. Inferior lobes of eyes not contiguous. Apex of antennae not passing middle of urosternite II. Pronotum transverse. Prosternal process laminate and abruptly bent upwards towards apex. Procoxal cavities broadly open behind. Elytra dehiscent for more than half their length, and extended into long, rounded lobe towards apex; the latter not passing base of urosternite II. Hind leg: apex of metafemur not passing apex of abdomen; femoral peduncle short; tibia with dense brush on apical half; first tarsal segment about three times longer than second. Last abdominal segment truncate at apex; excavate at apex in male (the latter character state was presumably observed in a photograph). Clarke (2014) revised a Rhinotragini species group sharing a combination of characters of special diagnostic value as follows: “ prosternal process in males entirely laminate or weakly golf tee-shaped (as in most females); procoxal cavities widely open behind, and acutely angled at sides; elytra subulate (the apical third narrowly lobate), rather short, subfissate, or strongly dehiscent; mesosternum not declivous (weakly inclined to, and almost planar with mesosternal process); in male procoxae surmounted by conical tubercle; metatibia with long-haired, dense brush (but see Phygomelitta Clarke, 2014); lateral lobes of tegmen tongs-shaped, with abruptly widened, somewhat flattened apices.” Eight species (in- cluding two new ones) conformed to this diagnosis and were placed into either Pseudophygopoda or one of four new genera: Panamapoda Clarke, 2014, Paraphygopoda Clarke, 2014, Paramelitta Clarke, 2014 and Phygomelitta. Carelli and Monné (2015) revised the genera Phygopoda and Pseudophygopoda and established the following new synonymies: Panamapoda Clarke, 2014 and Paraphygopoda Clarke, 2014 = Pseudophygopoda Tavakilian and Peñaherrera-Leiva, 2007; Paraphygopoda viridimicans (Fisher, 1952), Paraphygopoda nappae Clarke, 2014 and Paraphygopoda longipennis (Zajciw, 1963) = Pseudophygopoda albitarsis (Klug, 1825). They did this without providing a formal diagnosis of Pseudophygopoda. 1 2 • INSECTA MUNDI 0567, August 2017 CLARKE Materials and Methods During the process of making the taxonomic changes presented herein, data taken from specimens from the following institutions has been incorporated: FSCA — Florida State Collection of Arthropods, Gainesville, Florida, USA. MNKM — Museo Noel Kempff Mercado, Universidad Autónoma Gabriel René Moreno, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. MZSP — Museu de Zoologia, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil. USNM — National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC, USA. The individual specimen data are as follows. The differences between ‘specimens analyzed’ and ‘specimens examined’ are explained in Clarke (2014).

    Electronic Version 2005 Checklist of the Cerambycidae, of the Western Hemisphere Oreodera olivaceotincta Tippman, male Miguel A. Monné Museu Nacional, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro Quina da Boa Vista, 20940-040, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil Frank T. Hovore 14734 Sundance Place Santa Clarita, CA, USA, 91387-1542 2005 2 Electronic Checklist of the Cerambycidae of the Western Hemisphere 2005 Version (updated through 01 January 2006) Miguel A. Monné & Frank T. Hovore, Compilers Introduction The Cerambycidae, commonly known as longhorned beetles, longicorns, capricorns, round-headed borers, timber beetles, goat beetles (bock-käfern), or sawyer beetles, comprise one of the largest and most varied families of Coleoptera, with body length alone varying from ± 2.5 mm (Cyrtinus sp.) to slightly over 17 cm (Titanus giganteus). Distributed world-wide from sea level to montane sites as high as 4,200 m elevation wherever their host plants are found, cerambycids have long been a favorite with collectors. Taxonomic interest in the family has been fairly consistent for the past century, but the description of new taxa has accelerated in recent decades thanks to the efforts of Chemsak, Linsley, Giesbert, Martins, Monné, Galileo, Napp, and other workers. This checklist builds upon the efforts of Blackwelder (1946), Chemsak & Linsley (1982), Chemsak, Linsley & Noguera (1992), and Monné & Giesbert (1994), and presently includes nearly 9,000 described species and subspecies, covering the terrestrial hemisphere from Canada and Alaska to Argentina and Chile, and including the Caribbean arc. Adult Cerambycidae, upon which most taxonomic studies in the family have been based, vary widely in their habits. Some species are nocturnal, many are attracted to artificial light, and they also may be found at night on the trunks and branches of their host plants, or on foliage.

Diurnal species also may be found on or near their host plants, but many species are attracted to blossoms of shrubs and trees, where they may serve as pollinators.

    Checklist of the Cerambycidae, or longhorned beetles (Coleoptera) of the Western Hemisphere 2009 Version (updated through 31 December 2008) Miguel A. Monné, and Larry G. Bezark, Compilers Introduction The Cerambycidae, commonly known as longhorned beetles, longicorns, capricorns, round-headed borers, timber beetles, goat beetles (bock-käfern), or sawyer beetles, comprise one of the largest and most varied families of Coleoptera, with body length alone varying from ± 2.5 mm (Cyrtinus sp.) to slightly over 17 cm (Titanus giganteus). Distributed world-wide from sea level to montane sites as high as 4,200 m elevation wherever their host plants are found, cerambycids have long been a favorite with collectors. Taxonomic interest in the family has been fairly consistent for the past century, but the description of new taxa has accelerated in recent decades thanks to the efforts of Chemsak, Linsley, Giesbert, Martins, Monné, Galileo, Napp, and other workers. This checklist builds upon the efforts of Blackwelder (1946), Chemsak & Linsley (1982), Chemsak, Linsley & Noguera (1992), and Monné & Giesbert (1994), and presently includes nearly 9,000 described species and subspecies, covering the terrestrial hemisphere from Canada and Alaska to Argentina and Chile, and including the Caribbean arc. Adult Cerambycidae, upon which most taxonomic studies in the family have been based, vary widely in their habits. Some species are nocturnal, many are attracted to artificial light, and they also may be found at night on the trunks and branches of their host plants, or on foliage. Diurnal species also may be found on or near their host plants, but many species are attracted to blossoms of shrubs and trees, where they may serve as pollinators.
