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. Prior to this paper, 65 genera and 445 species were described (Monné & Bezark, 2012). Pseudagaone Tippmann, 1960 currently contains two species, the most recently described being P. cerdai (Tavakilian & Peñaherrera-Leiva, 2007) from French Guiana. In 2010, Martins & Santos-Silva studied the large genus Ommata White, 1855, and elevated subgenera to generic rank, including assigning several species to the genus Eclipta Bates, 1873. Further study of that group necessitates the description of two new genera, transfer of four additional species, and the discovery of one new country distribution record. The genus Ischasioides Tavakilian & Peñaherrera-Leiva, 2003 currently contains two species. Clarke (2010) erected Stultutragus to place specimens from Ommata (Eclipta), and in 2011, Bezark et. al. elevated one variant to species rank, described a new species, and provided a key to all the species known at that time. Oxylymma Pascoe, 1859 currently comprises nine species, with three being described by Peñaherrera-Leiva & Tavakilian in 2003. Examination of specimens of two species provided new country records for this genus. The 27 species currently placed in Acyphoderes Audinet-Serville, 1833 likely belong to more than one genus. One new species is described below; much additional work is needed to clarify the generic position of other existing species currently assigned to Acyphoderes. 66 Accepted by Q.
