S. A., and Division of Invertebrate Zoology, American Museum of Natural History Abstract Two new species are described in Calliini: Callisema jirouxi sp. nov. from Ecuador and Colombicallia setosa sp. nov. from Costa Rica. Keys to species of Callisema and Colombicallia are provided. Psapharochrus alboguttatus (Melzer, 1935) is transferred to Alphus White, 1855. New country, department and state records are provided in Lamiinae. Key words: Longhorned beetles, Neotropical region, taxonomy Introduction Many new species of Lamiinae have been described from the Neotropical Region during the last few decades. Even so, very frequently we receive specimens for identification that do not match any known species. The number of new species found in Northern South America and Central America are particularly surprising. Herein, we describe two species of Calliini. Psapharochrus Thomson (1864) is a large genus currently including 92 species distributed from Mexico to South America. Some species placed in this genus do not agree with the features of Acanthoderes cylindricus Bates, 1861, type species by original designation. Here we are transferring one of these species to Alphus White, 1855. Callisema Martins & Galileo, 1990 is a small genus with 5 species currently known only from South America (Monné 2016). The genus can be separated from the other genera of Calliini by the following character set: prothorax with lateral tubercle; mesosternum with single tubercle; antennomeres cylindrical; and scape with apical cicatrix. The new species described here is the first record of the genus for Ecuador. Currently, Colombicallia Galileo & Martins, 1992 includes only two species occurring in Colombia and Bolivia (Monné 2016). The new species expands the distribution of the genus to Central America. During the process of identification of material from CASC, LGBC and MZSP we examined specimens that establish new country and state records. The work is divided in two parts: new species and new distributional records by Santos-Silva, Bezark, and Galileo, and discussion of the rearing protocol for Colombicallia setosa sp. nov. by Li. Material and methods Photographs were taken with a Canon EOS Rebel T3i DSLR camera, Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1–5X macro lens, controlled by Zerene Stacker AutoMontage software. Measurements were taken in ‘‘mm’’ using a micrometer ocular Hensoldt/Wetzlar - Mess 10 in the Leica MZ6 stereomicroscope, also used in the study of the specimen. Accepted by Q.

Description Calliini Callisema jirouxi Santos-Silva, Bezark and Galileo, sp. nov. (Figs. 1–4) Male. Integument dark brown, almost black; ventral side of head mostly reddish-brown; mouthparts yellowish- brown; antennae reddish-brown, darker on base of scape; legs dark reddish-brown, more brownish on some areas. Pubescence on head, prothorax and elytra yellowish-brown; pubescence on ventral side of meso- and metathorax, legs and abdomen yellowish-white. Head. Frons rectangular, finely, abundantly punctate (punctures partially obscured by pubescence); pubescence dense, mainly close to clypeus and laterally, interspersed with long, erect, yellow setae laterally. Area between antennal tubercles and eyes with narrow, elongate, glabrous depression centrally; remaining surface densely pubescent, interspersed with long, erect, yellow setae. Vertex moderately coarsely, sparsely punctate; densely pubescent, except for glabrous, irregular area on each side of center, below upper eye lobes, and elongate area centrally close to prothoracic margin; with long, erect, yellow setae on area near eyes. Area behind eyes densely pubescent, gradually glabrous on area close to prothorax toward ventral side; with some long, erect, thick, black setae near lower eye lobes. Submentum moderately sparsely pubescent. Genae pubescent, except for glabrous, narrow area close to apex. Distance between upper eye lobes 0.10 times length of scape; distance between lower eye lobes in frontal view 0.75 times length of scape. Antennae 1.6 times elytral length, reaching elytral apex at apex of antennomere IX; scape with long, erect, sparse, thick setae, interspersed with long yellow setae; pedicel with long, thick, black, sparse setae ventrally; antennomere III with long, thick, black, sparse setae ventrally, interspersed with some long, yellow setae on basal third; antennomeres IV–X with long, thick, black, sparse setae ventrally, sparser toward antennomere X, mainly on IX–X; antennal formula (ratio) based on antennomere III: scape = 0.79; pedicel = 0.19; IV = 0.95; V = 0.80; VI = 0.72; VII = 0.69; VIII = 0.63; IX = 0.61; X = 0.56; XI = 0.55. Thorax. Prothorax subcylindrical, wider than long (1.3 times wider than long, including lateral tubercles); sides with small, distinct, acute tubercle at middle. Pronotum coarsely, abundantly punctate (punctures partially obscured by pubescence); pubescence denser on three longitudinal bands (one centrally and one laterally one each side) and anterior third between bands; with thick, sparse, dark setae on anterior half. Sides of prothorax with punctures as on pronotum; pubescence partially obscuring punctures, denser toward ventral side. Prosternum and mesosternal process pubescent. Mesosternum pubescent, distinctly less conspicuous centrally. Mesosternal process longitudinally elevated (carina-shaped), dorsally shiny, glabrous; anterior margin slightly sloping toward mesosternum. Metepisterna pubescent. Metasternum coarsely, shallowly, sparsely punctate laterally; densely pubescent laterally, except for glabrous, small, areas surrounding punctures; pubescence sparser toward middle. Elytra. Coarsely, sparsely punctate throughout; densely pubescent, except for small glabrous areas surrounding punctures; with thick, sparse, dark setae directed backward; apex obliquely truncate, with outer angle slightly projected and sutural angle rounded. Legs. Femora pubescent, except for small, somewhat distinct subglabrous areas surrounding punctures. Metatibiae with some thick, erect, dark setae. 160 · Zootaxa 4170 (1) © 2016 Magnolia Press SANTOS-SILVA ET AL.
