Abstract.—A species originally described as Fortuneleptura romei Touroult, 2011 (Lepturinae) is placed in a new genus, Iyanola Lingafelter & Ivie (Cerambycinae: Rhinotragini). Along with the new genus description, the species is redescribed and additional collection data is recorded.

In order to investigate the affinities of the hitherto considered Neotropical Cleomenini genera, a detailed morphological comparative study was carried out based on representatives of their type species and other congeneric species. The results, when compared with representatives of Cleomenes Thomson and other non Neotropical Cleomenini genera together with representatives of Rhopalophorini Blanchard and Rhinotragini Thomson, show that: 1) Listroptera Audinet-Serville, 1834, Dihammaphora Chevrolat, 1859, Haenkea Tippmann, 1953, Aguassay Napp & Mermudes, 2001 and Timabiara Napp & Mermudes, 2001 form a very homogeneous group, not related to other Cleomenini, but sharing several synapomorphies with the Rhopalophorini; therefore they are herein transferred to this tribe; 2) the affinities of Dihammaphoroides Zajciw, 1967, were not clearly defined, needing further investigations; nevertheless,

  • New World Cerambycidae
    Checklist of the Cerambycidae and Disteniidae (Coleoptera) of the Western Hemisphere M. A. Monné & F.T. Hovore - Electronic Version, 2001 Part One: Parandrinae through Lepturinae Tribes follow traditional treatments, but tribal classifications within the family have not been fully evaluated using modern phylogenetic methods, so ordering is to some degree arbitrary. Genera and species are listed alphabetically. Geographical distributions reflect the present knowledge of the authors and previous checklist data, and are subject to expansion as additional data is contributed. Provincial citations are used for some larger countries to more accurately indicate known ranges. Bibliographies for each species are not included, and the authors refer users to Monné, 1993, et seq., Catalogue of the Cerambycidae of the Western Hemisphere (Parts 1 - 22), for complete citations. A bibliographic file is included as Part Three of this electronic version. Some disagreement exists over the status of the disteniid longhorns, which at times have been placed in a separate family, the Disteniidae. The current treatment (Lawrence & Newton, 1995) is as a subfamily, Disteniinae, and they are regarded as such herein. The arrangement of taxa within the list follows conventional checklist ordering: Subfamily Tribe Genus Author, year, page number Generic synonyms species Author, year: page number Distribution specific synonyms subspecies subspecific synonyms Abbreviations used in the list: Argentina BA = Buenos Aires; CA = Catamarca; CD = Córdoba; CH = Chaco; CO = Corrientes; CT = Chubut; ER = Entre Ríos; FO = Formosa; JU = Jujuy; LP = La Pampa; LR = La Rioja; ME = Mendoza; MI = Misiones; NE = Neuquén; RN = Río Negro; SA = Salta; SC = Santa Cruz; SE = Santiago del Estero; SF = Santa Fe; SJ = San Juan; SL = San Luis; TU = Tucumán.

Caixa Postal 42494, 04218-970 São Paulo, SP, Brasil. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Giesberteclipta and Thomasella, two new genera of Rhinotragini Thomson, 1861 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae), are described and illustrated. Six new species are also described and illustrated: Acyphoderes violaceus from Costa Rica; Ischasioides giesberti from Ecuador, and Oxylymma pallida, Pseudagaone williamsi, Stultutragus tippmanni and S. ventriguttatus from Brazil. Keys are provided for the known species of Pseudagaone Tippmann, 1960, Giesberteclipta, and Oxylymma Pascoe, 1859 and for parts of Ischasioides Tavakilian & Peñaherrera-Leiva, 2003 and Stultutragus Clarke, 2010. The following new combinations are proposed: Giesberteclipta costipennis (Giesbert, 1991); G. monteverdensis (Giesbert, 1991); Thomasella igniventris (Giesbert, 1991), and Stultutragus romani (Aurivillius, 1919). The following three new country records are reported: Oxylymma durantoni Peñaherrera-Leiva & Tavakilian, 2003 (Brazil), Oxylymma sudrei Peñaherrera-Leiva & Tavakilian, 2003 (Brazil), and Ommata (Eclipta) faurei Peñaherrera- Leiva & Tavakilian, 2003, all from Brazil. Keywords: Key; New distribution record; New genus; Neotropical; New species; Taxonomy Introduction The species of the extremely diverse tribe Rhinotragini are Neotropical in distribution.
