Revision of Trachelissa Aurivillius, 1912 (Insecta: Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)

Abstract

A revision of the genus Trachelissa Aurivillius, 1912, based on a study of external morphology and terminalia, is presented. The genus and its species are redescribed. Five species are recognized, two of which are described as new: T. bella sp. nov. from Bolivia and T. opaca sp. nov. from Argentina. A new host plant for T. maculicollis Audinet-Serville, 1834 is recorded. A key to all species, and their photographs and distribution maps are provided.

Pseudeburia, a New South American genus of longhorned beetle (Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae: Bothriospilini)

“…The supertribe Trachyderoinia was erected to include the taxa in which females possess purpuriceniform terminalia, characterized by a short ovipositor (shorter than or equal to sternites VI and VII together), sternite VIII with a brush of differentiated setae and tergite VIII bi-or trilobate; in males sternite VIII is wider than long with a very short or absent apodeme (Fragoso et al 1987). This Trachyderoinia terminalia pattern has been described in many works: Moura and Galileo (1992), Monné and Napp (2000), Monné (2005b), Monné and Napp (2005), Botero and Monné (2012), and Quintino and Monné (2014).…”
