P.O. Box 141874 Gainesville, FL 32614-1874 USA http://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, nomenclature, 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 reviews 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 and CAB Abstracts. Insecta Mundi is published irregularly throughout the year, with completed manuscripts 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 manuscript must be a current member of the Center for Systematic Entomology. Guidelines and requirements for the preparation of manuscripts are available on the Insecta Mundi website at http://centerforsystematicentomology.org/insectamundi/ Chief Editor: David Plotkin, [email protected] Assistant Editor: Paul E.

Wappes American Coleoptera Museum 8734 Paisano Pass San Antonio, TX 78255-3523, USA [email protected] Abstract. Two new species of Mexican Clytini (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae) are described: Trichoxys giesberti Botero, Santos-Silva and Wappes (also added to a recent key) and Megacyllene giesberti Botero, Santos-Silva and Wappes. The geographical distribution of Megacyllene melanaspis (Chevrolat, 1862) is expanded to include Bolivia, new country record, and compared to the similar and sympatric Megacyllene proxima (Laporte and Gory, 1841); Megacyllene asteca (Chevrolat, 1860) is proposed as a new combination for the previous Plagionotus asteca, and Amyipunga armaticollis (Zajciw, 1964) is redescribed to correct previous er- rors regarding it in the literature. Additionally, characters to help separate it from the similar species Amyipunga moritzii (Thomson, 1861) are provided. Key words. Amyipunga, Mexico, taxonomy, Trichoxys. Introduction Two undescribed clytine (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae) species found in the Edmund Giesbert collection at the Florida State Collection of Arthropods (FSCA) are described herein, Trichoxys giesberti Botero, Santos-Silva and Wappes and Megacyllene giesberti Botero, Santos-Silva and Wappes. The Giesbert-labelled Trichoxys Chevrolat, 1860 specimen had been collected by him in Mexico and he recognized it as new as evidenced by his handwritten, paratype, manuscript name label (T. incomptus Giesbert) on its pin. Recently, the Giesbert-proposed holotype of the species (also with a handwritten label by him) was located at the EMEC and is included in the type series but not as the holotype. A recent key to species of Trichoxys by Lingafelter and Wappes (2012) is modified to add the new species. Another Megacyllene, M. melanaspis (Chevrolat, 1862) is newly recorded for Bolivia, new country record, and is found to be sympatric with the widely distributed and very similar Megacyllene proxima (Laporte and Gory, 1841). Diagnostics are given to separate these two species, and a known distribu- tion map within Bolivia provided. Another Bolivian Clytine, Amyipunga armaticollis (Zajciw, 1964), typically found at high altitudes in or near Amboro National Park, is redescribed to correct errors in its original and subsequent descriptions, record intraspecific variation in its dorsal appearance and define characters useful for separating it from the similar Venezuelan species, Amyipunga moritzii (Thomson, 1861). Lastly, Plagionotus asteca Chevrolat, 1860, based on the shape of its mesoventral process, is transferred and becomes Megacyllene asteca new combination. 2 • INSECTA MUNDI 0697, April 2019 BOTERO ET AL. Materials and Methods Photographs were taken in Museu de Zoologia, Universidade de São Paulo 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 measuring ocular Hensoldt/Wetzlar - Mess 10 in the Leica MZ6 stereomicroscope, also used in the study of the specimens. All specimens examined were adults; immature stages of the new species have not yet been collected.

Trichoxys was described by Chevrolat (1860) as a subgenus of Clytus Laicharting, 1784. He included 14 species in the group but did not designate a type species. Later, Thomson (1861) elevated Trichoxys to genus level and designated Clytus (Trichoxys) bilineatus Chevrolat, 1860 as type species. Trichoxys
