... The beating tray sampling in a transect of 300 m and with an effort of six hours during two days revealed three species that were unknown to science (25% of the collected species), two of them were already described (see Perger & Santos-Silva 2018a, b). Although present-day expeditions in the Amazon area are not as difficult as those in Bates' times and a vast number of Amazon species have been described since then, the current study indicates that particularly Bolivian forests in the Amazon area still have high potential for the discovery of unknown, ecologically interesting long-horned beetle taxa (see also Perger & Santos-Silva 2010;Santos-Silva & Perger 2017). ...
Mimolaia batesi sp. nov. from Bolivian Yungas forest is described and illustrated. The new species likely displays Batesian mimicry associated with slender Lycidae species having black elytra and orange/reddish pronotum laterally.
... Several studies suggest that this pattern is also reflected by the fauna of long-horned beetles, which belong to the best known beetle groups in Bolivia ( Wappes et al. 2006Wappes et al. , 2011Wappes et al. , 2013Lingafelter et al. 2017). However, most long-horned beetle records were gathered from the area of the Bolivian orocline in Santa Cruz department, while the Andes north and south of the orocline are only poorly studied with respect to long-horned beetles (Perger & Guerra 2013, 2015Perger & Santos-Silva 2010), which is in agreement with the strong sampling bias in other beetle groups (e.g. Perger & Guerra 2012, 2016Perger & Grossi 2013). ...

... nov. is the first species of the Huriini that is reported for Bolivia. This discovery is not surprising as the tribe is present from Colombia to Argentina and Chile [3] and the knowledge of spiders in Bolivia is strongly influenced by sampling bias [23,24], which is in agreement with the poor data of other arthropods [25][26][27][28][29]. However, judging from the low abundance of S. dipterioides sp. ...
Fly resemblance in arthropods is much less common than e.g., resemblance to ants or wasps, and has been mainly observed in beetles. Putative fly mimicry in arachnids has been reported only from the jumping spider genus Saitis. However, recent literature has attributed the fly-resembling characteristics in Saitis to sexual signalling during courtship. The lack of observation of fly mimicry in spiders is not surprising as flies belong to the most important prey item group of spiders. In this study, a new fly-resembling species of the jumping spider tribe Huriini, Scoturius dipterioides sp. nov., from the pre-Andean Chiquitano forest at the Bolivian orocline is described and illustrated. The new species was tentatively placed into Scoturius because the epigynum has a single large elliptical opening. Scoturius dipterioides sp. nov. is distinguished from all other species of this tribe by a combination of following characteristics: epigynum with a large anterior elliptical atrium and initial portion of the copulation ducts dilated as a chamber (shared with Urupuyu); relatively joined copulation openings and short copulation ducts; kidney-shaped spermathecae, advanced at the atrium level. Several somatic features, two of them found exclusively in S. dipterioides sp. nov., increase the resemblance to flies. The Huriini are currently the only spider tribe that is suggested to feature fly mimics.
... Curiously, this nomenclatural act remained unknown until Monné (2006), who used Gistel's name for the f irst time. Perger and Santos-Silva (2010) divided Chorenta, erecting Seticeros to S. aquilus (type species) and S. tunupai Perger & Santos-Silva, 2010, a new species from Bolivia. In this work we are describing a new species of Seticeros from Costa Rica, but we believe that the species also occurs in Panama. ...

Palaeosphryon menatensis gen. et sp. nov., first unambiguous representative of the longhorn beetle subfamily Prioninae from the Paleocene of Menat (France), is described and illustrated. The new fossil is placed into the tribe Prionini, showing some similarities with some species of the extant genera Osphryon (Papua New Guinea) and Titanus (Brazil, Colombia, Guianas, Ecuador, Peru), viz. in general body shape, antennomere 3 as long as first and second together but shorter than the length of fourth plus fifth, elongate elytra, and small spines on the lateral margin of the pronotum disposed in a relatively similar way as in Osphryon. Nevertheless, the exact affinities of the new fossil within the Prionini remain uncertain because of the lack of a recent phylogenetic analysis in which it could be integrated. This fossil beetle is exceptional for its very large size, with a body 70 mm long. Some other large longhorn beetles have been found in the same outcrop, and are awaiting description. The positions of the previously described Cerambycidae from Menat are also discussed. This exceptional fauna of Cerambycidae is in accordance with the current palaeoenvironmental reconstruction for the Menat Konservat-Lagerstätte, as a small maar lake surrounded by a warm and humid, probably evergreen forest.
Sympolymnia, a new genus of myrmecomorph jumping spider belonging to the tribe Simonellini Peckham, Peckham & Wheeler, 1889, is described. It comprises five species: the type species, Sympolymnia lucasi (Taczanowski, 1871), comb. nov., Sympolymnia lauretta (Peckham & Peckham, 1892), comb. nov., Sympolymnia edwardsi (Cutler, 1985), comb. nov. and Sympolymnia shinahota sp. nov. and S. cutleri sp. nov. Sympolymnia lauretta (Peckham & Peckham, 1892) is recorded from Bolivia for the first time. Ontogenetic shifts of ant-resemblance are observed: Juveniles of S. cutleri sp. nov. and S. lauretta mimic black ants of the genus Crematogaster Lund, 1831, but those of S. shinahota sp. nov. most closely resemble Pseudomyrmex ethicus (Forel, 1911). Adults of S. cutleri sp. nov., S. lauretta and S. shinahota sp. nov. resemble the ant Camponotus sanctaefidei Dalla Torre, 1892 and orange adults of S. shinahota sp. nov. are putative mimics of Camponotus latangulus Roger, 1863.
Three new species and one new genus are described: Psyrassa lisitskyi sp. nov., from Peru (Elaphidiini); Ophtalmibidion antonkozlovi sp. nov., from Colombia (Neoibidionini); and Nappella gen. nov., is proposed to N. antonkozlovi sp. nov., from Peru (Calliini). Epectasis mexicana Breuning, 1954 is redescribed, and figured for the first time, and recorded for Colombia. Psyrassa lisitskyi is included in a modified couplet from a previous key. A key to species of Ophtalmibidion and genera of Calliini are provided. Chorenta biramiguelus is recorded for Peru.

The present list includes all available names, both valid and invalid, and the type-species of the genera and subgenera of Cerambycidae, Disteniidae, Oxypeltidae and Vesperidae (Coleoptera) of the Neotropical Region. Two new family-group names are proposed: Neoibidionini (type-genus: Neoibidion, a replacement name for Ibidion Audinet-Serville, 1834, junior homonymy of Ibidion Gory, 1833) for Ibidionini Thomson, 1861 and Proholopterini (type-genus Proholopterus, a replacement name for Holopterus Blanchard, 1851, junior homonymy of Holopterus Brehm, 1845) for Holopterini Lacordaire, 1868. Oideterus Thomson, 1857a:15 is revalidated with the type-species, Oideterus buquetii Thomson, 1857 (by monotypy). Udeterus Thomson, 1858b:515 is a junior synonym of Oideterus Thomson, 1857. Acanthocornis Monné & Monné, 2011 (Prioninae, Meroscelisini) is a new synonym of Hyleoza Galileo, 1987 and Acanthocornis flavus Monné & Monné, 2011 = Hyleoza confusa Tavakilian & Galileo, 1991. The genus Acanthocornis Monné & Monné, 2011 was erroneously described in the tribe Anacolini. Acanthinodera Hope, 1834 is considered a nomen protectum and hereafter used as valid genus name. Amallopodes Lequien, 1833 is a nomen oblitum consequently invalid name. Hephaestion (?) zikani Melzer, 1923 is designated as the type-species of Parahephaestion Melzer, 1930; Corynellus mimulus Bates, 1885 as the type-species of Corynellus Bates, 1885; Cosmius ochraceus Perty, 1832 as the type-species of Cosmius Perty, 1832 non Cosmius Dumeril, 1806, Diptera, and Alampyris nigra Bates, 1881 as the type-species of Alampyris Bates, 1881.
The larva of Seticeros aquilus (Thomson), collected in Quercus humboldtii (Fagaceae) in Colombia, is described and illustrated. Biological notes and a comparison with the larva of Chorenta reticulata described by Duffy (1960) and with the descriptions of the other South American Callipogonini species are presented.
