A new species of Dicrepidius Eschscholtz from Brazil and new records for D. ramicornis (Palisot de Beauvois) (Coleoptera, Elateridae, Elaterinae)

New records of Dicrepidius ramicornis (Coleoptera: Elateridae: Elaterinae) from Dominican Republic, Hispaniola

“…Undoubtedly because of no subsequent mentions of Hispaniola, this species was overlooked and not included in the recently published checklist of Hispaniolan arthropods (Perez-Gelabert, 2008). Dicrepidius ramicornis came to my attention only recently, when Casari (2009) described a new species of Dicrepidius, gave new records of D. ramicornis from Brazil and mentioned the Hispaniolan record by Chevrolat (1867). To provide further support for the record of Chevrolat, I give here new records of D. ramicornis from four provinces of the Dominican Republic.…”
