P. O. Box 141874 Gainesville, FL 32614-1874 U. S. A. http://www.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, nomencla- ture, 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 re- views 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 Abstracts, etc. Insecta Mundi is published irregularly throughout the year, with completed manu- scripts 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 manu- script must be a current member of the Center for Systematic Entomology. Managing editor: Paul E. Skelley, e-mail: [email protected] Production editor: Michael C.

Gordon Northern Plains Entomology P. O. Box 65 Willow City, ND 58384, USA [email protected] F. Guillermo González Nocedal 6455 La Reina Santiago, CHILE [email protected] www.coccinellidae.cl Abstract. Nine new species of Hyperaspis from various South American localities are described, illustrated, and compared with previously described taxa. New taxa are: Hyperaspis luciae, H. corcovado, H. divaricata, H. humboldti, H. mimica, H. praecipua, H. unimaculosa, H. drechseli, and H. esmeraldas. Hyperaspis pectoralis Crotch is recognized as a valid species of Hyperaspis and integrated into the existing classification. Key words. Hyperaspis, new species, South America Introduction. Gordon and Canepari (2008) revised the South American species of Hyperaspidini. Subsequently González and Gordon (2009) described three additional species from Argentina and Chile. In the course of revising the similar appearing members of Brachiacanthini, specimens of that tribe were borrowed from many institutions. Mixed among these were examples of nine new species of Hyperaspis Chevrolat not available for the 2008 revision. These new taxa are described, illustrated, and compared to previously named species in Gordon and Canepari. In addition, Hyperaspis pectoralis Crotch is recognized as a valid species of Hyperaspis and integrated into the existing classification. Materials. Genitalia terminology and conventions used by Gordon and Canepari (2008) are followed here.

Dorsal surface with head alutaceous, feebly shiny, pronotum weakly alutaceous, slightly shiny, elytron smooth, 1 2 • I NSECTA M UNDI 0160, March 2011 GORDON AND GONZÁLEZ shiny. Color reddish yellow except head yellow; pronotum with narrow, basal black macula apically emarginate; elytron with sutural border narrowly black, black area slightly widened medially, median, curved vitta present from base across humeral callus to sutural margin at apical 1/6 (Fig. 1-4); base of head, prosternum, meso- and metaventrites black; abdomen dark brown medially, dark reddish brown laterally. Head punctures small, separated by a diameter or less; pronotal punctures larger than on head, separated by a diameter or less; elytral punctures slightly larger than on pronotum, separated by a diameter or less; punctures on metaventrite very large, separated by a diameter or less medially, becom- ing larger and nearly contiguous in lateral 1/4; punctures on basal abdominal ventrite large medially, separated by a diameter or less, becoming smaller, more scattered in lateral 1/3, punctures on sternites 2- 6 fine, sparse, separated by a diameter or less. Clypeal apex deeply emarginate, clypeus and frons joined at abrupt angle. Epipleuron wide, grooved medially, descending externally, femoral depressions deep. Antenna with 10 articles (Fig. 10). Protibia narrow, slightly flanged. Prosternum with intercoxal carinae widely separated at apex, convergent toward base, joined at basal 2/3, connected to base by single stem. Postcoxal line on basal abdominal ventrite straight in basal 1/3, flattened along posterior margin of ventrite, rounded 5/6 distance to lateral margin (Fig. 5). Fifth ventrite broadly, deeply emarginate apically; 6th ventrite with broad, shallow apical emargination.
