Abstract

SYNOPSIS OF THE GENUS SCOPADUS AND OMOSAROTES

On the true identity of Scopadus ciliatus Pascoe, reinstatement of Acanthomerosternoplini, and description of a new species (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae)

“…The same reasoning applies regarding the key from Micheli (2003). Julio & Monné (2001), evidently following Tippmann (1955), described the male of a species that they mistakenly believed to be S. ciliatus. According to them (translated): "Tippmann (1955) illustrated a specimen of Scopadus ciliatus from Peru, considering it female, based only on the antennal length, since Pascoe (1857) and Bates (1866) did not inform the sex of the specimens, but hat described their antennae as long."…”

“…According to them (translated): "Tippmann (1955) illustrated a specimen of Scopadus ciliatus from Peru, considering it female, based only on the antennal length, since Pascoe (1857) and Bates (1866) did not inform the sex of the specimens, but hat described their antennae as long." From what we can deduct from this statement, for Julio & Monné (2001), the specimen figured by Tippmann (1955) is a male, and the specimen described and illustrated by Pascoe (1857) is a female. In summary, for Tippmann (1955) the presence of dense and long setae on distal antennomeres is a sexual feature of females (holotype would be a male), while for Julio & Monné (2001), it is a sexual feature of males (holotype would be a female).…”

“…Finally, Julio & Monné (2001) synonymized Acanthomerosternoplon with Omosarotes (translated): "Are proposed the transference of Scopadus nigripennis, Acanthomerosternoplon paradoxum and A. foxi for Omosarotes, thus making synonyms the genera Omosarotes Pascoe, 1860 andAcanthomerosternoplon Tippmann, 1955." Accordingly, "Acanthomerosternoplonini" was considered a synonym of Cyrtinini since Omosarotes belonged to the latter.…”

“…Howden (1959) correctly indicated that the prothorax in Scopadus ciliatus lacks a lateral spine. Julio & Monné (2001) described the male of Scopadus ciliatus. Yet, according to these authors, the antennae in males of S. ciliatus surpass elytral apex by three antennomeres.…”

“…Zajciw (1970) registrou para Peru (Junin), Julio & Monné (2001) acrescentaram Equador (Napo) e Brasil (Amazonas e Rondônia). Assinalamos a espécie para o Pará (Brasil).…”
