Four new species of Cymatodera Gray from central and southern Mexico (Coleoptera, Cleridae, Tillinae)

Abstract

Four new species of Cymatodera are described from Mexico: Cymatodera tortuosa Burke & Rifkind, sp. n. from Hidalgo and Tamaulipas; Cymatodera ortegae Burke, sp. n. from Colima, Jalisco and Michoacan; Cymatodera gerstmeieri Burke & Rifkind, sp. n. from Chiapas; and Cymatodera mixteca Burke & Rifkind, sp. n. from Puebla and Guerrero. Male genitalia and other characters of taxonomic value are illustrated.

Four new species of the genusCymatodera(Coleoptera: Cleridae: Tillinae) from the Neotropics, with some taxonomic and biogeographic remarks

“…From C. sinuosa, it can be separated by the presence of fully developed wings and the metatergite longer than wide (in females of C. sinuosa the posterior wings are reduced and the metatergite is as long as wide); in addition, the anterior margin of the elytra is not constricted (females of C. sinuosa have the anterior margin constricted). From C. bellamyi, C. lorenae, and C. tortuosa, it can be separable by the more robust body shape (see Rifkind 2014;Burke et al 2015b;.…”

“…This paper is part of an ongoing effort to describe and catalogue the Tillinae fauna of the New World. Recent descriptive works have been published by Rifkind (1993Rifkind ( , 2014Rifkind ( , 2015, Rifkind et al (2010), Burke (2013), Burke and Zolnerowich (2014), and Burke et al (2015b; however, several species remain undescribed. Here, we describe four new Cymatodera species from Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, and Colombia.…”
