Insecta Mundi is a journal primarily devoted to insect systematics, but articles can be published on
any non-marine arthropod. Topics considered for publication include systematics, taxonomy, nomencla-
ture, checklists, faunal works, and natural history. Insecta Mundi will not consider works in the
applied sciences (i.e. medical entomology, pest control research, etc.), and no longer publishes book re-
views or editorials. Insecta Mundi publishes original research or discoveries in an inexpensive and
timely manner, distributing them free via open access on the internet on the date of publication.
Insecta Mundi is referenced or abstracted by several sources including the Zoological Record, CAB
Abstracts, etc. Insecta Mundi is published irregularly throughout the year, with completed manu-
scripts assigned an individual number. Manuscripts must be peer reviewed prior to submission, after
which they are reviewed by the editorial board to ensure quality. One author of each submitted manu-
script must be a current member of the Center for Systematic Entomology.

Introduction
The tribe Onciderini Thomson, 1860 (Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) is widely distributed in the New
World from North America to southern South America. Nearly all genera in the tribe (77 of 80) are known
from South America, with most occurring in Brazil (71 of 80) (Monné 2005; Monné and Bezark 2011;
Nearns et al. 2011). The only major revision of the tribe was undertaken by Dillon and Dillon (1945, 1946)
who recognized 63 genera and 260 species. This important contribution provided dorsal habitus illustra-
tions of 251 taxa, nearly all of which were illustrated for the first time, as well as dichotomous keys to
genera and species. One major flaw in their study must be noted: Dillon and Dillon did not examine type
specimens of many taxa deposited at European museums, most notably those described by Thomson and
Bates, deposited at the MNHN and BMNH. Given the concurrence of their revision with World War II,
this is understandable; however, this omission has caused several taxonomic problems at both the generic
and species level.
Since Dillon and Dillon’s revision, taxonomic contributions have been provided by several authors,
including Dillon and Dillon (1949, 1952), Fragoso (1967, 1970, 1971), Galileo and Martins (1990, 1991,
2001, 2003, 2007, 2008a, 2008b), Giorgi (1998, 2001a, 2001b), Martins (1975, 1979, 1981a, 1981b), Mar-
tins and Galileo (1990, 1995, 1996, 2005a, 2005b, 2007, 2008, 2009a, 2009b, 2010), Martins et al. (2006,
2008, 2009), Monné and Fragoso (1984), Noguera (1993), and Noguera and Chemsak (1993). Onciderini
currently consists of approximately 450 species in 80 genera (Monné and Bezark 2011). It is worth noting
that over half (54) of the genera are either monotypic or have only two species. A phylogenetic analysis of
the tribe has not been conducted and its monophyly remains untested. A morphological study and cladis-
tic analysis of the tribe is forthcoming (Nearns and Miller, in preparation).
During the process of producing a Lucid key to the genera of Onciderini (Nearns et al. 2011), several
new taxa, taxonomic problems, and distribution records came to light. Here we add a new genus and six
new species, propose three synonymies and transfer two taxa, and add 37 new country records.

Type Material. Holotype, male (Fig. 2a-c), “Venez.a [sic], 26167, Fry Coll. 1905.100” (BMNH).
Etymology. This species is named for Kelly B. Miller, for his friendship and camaraderie in the field, and
for his many contributions to the study of Coleoptera. The epithet is a noun in the genitive case.
Diagnosis and Remarks. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the combination of the
following characters: humeri without distinct crest; sternites I-IV not glabrous at center; and relatively
drab coloration. Lesbates milleri is most similar to L. carissima (Fig. 2d) but can be distinguished by the
moderate punctation at basal1/3 of elytra (dense in L. carissima); basal 1/3 of elytra with surface coarsely

center in L. carissima).This species is described from a single male specimen and female specimens are
unknown. Nothing is known about the habitat and behavior of this species. The geographic range of this
genus (previously known only from Brazil) is extended to Venezuela.
Monneoncideres Nearns and Swift, gen. nov.
(Figures 3a-d)
Type species. Monneoncideres cristata Nearns and Swift, sp. nov, here designated.
Description. General form elongate-ovate, robust, moderate-sized. Head with frons flat, subquadrate or
elongate. Eyes with lower lobes large, oblong, moderately separated. Antennae short, not distinctly longer
than body; antennal tubercles prominent, moderately separated; scape clavate, antennomere III longest.
Pronotum subcylindrical, wider at base, transverse, sides with acute protuberance each side behind
middle; disk with three tubercles, median tubercle glabrous. Elytra with humeri prominent, anterior
margin arcuate, angle with several round, shiny tubercles. Legs moderate to short in length; femora
clavate apically; tibiae slightly expanded apically.
Etymology. This distinctive genus is named for Miguel A. Monné with appreciation for his friendship,
encouragement, and inspiration. The name is derived from the surname “Monné” and “Oncideres;” the
gender is feminine.
Diagnosis and Remarks. This genus superficially resembles some species of Oncideres Lacordaire,
1830 and Psyllotoxoides Breuning, 1961 but can be distinguished by the combination of the following
characters: eyes with lower lobes large; frons distinctly flat; pronotum with glabrous median tubercle;
and base of elytra with arcuate, strongly elevated cristae.

Type Material. Holotype, female (Fig. 4a-b), “Ecuador, Isla Puna, Jan 1951; Coleção Fragoso” (MNRJ).
Etymology. This species is named for Terrance W. Walters, for his generous support and encourage-
ment. The epithet is a noun in the genitive case.
Diagnosis and Remarks. This species can be distinguished from its congener, Neodillonia albisparsa
(Germar, 1824) (Fig. 4c-d), by the following characters: antennal tubercles more widely separated (con-
tiguous at base in N. albisparsa); more elongate elytra proportions (more ovate in N. albisparsa); and
elytra without distinctly speckled pubescence pattern (distinctly specked white pubescence in most speci-
mens of N. albisparsa). This species is described from a single female specimen and male specimens are
unknown. Nothing is known about the habitat and behavior of this species. The geographic range of this
genus (previously known from Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay) is extended to Ecuador.

Etymology. We are pleased to name this species in honor of Ubirajara R. Martins, for his friendship and
many contributions to the study of Neotropical Cerambycidae. The epithet is a noun in the genitive case.
Diagnosis and Remarks. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the combination of the
following characters: pronotum with longitudinal, testaceous vitta at center; elytra densely speckled with
white and testaceous pubescence; and procoxae in males not uncate. This species is described from three
male specimens and female specimens are unknown. Nothing is known about the habitat and behavior of
this species. The geographic range of this genus (previously known from Bolivia and Brazil) is extended to
Ecuador.

Head with frons roughly subquadrate, about 3.5 times width of lower eye lobe (Fig. 6b). Eyes with
lower lobes oblong; narrowest area connecting upper and lower eye lobes about two ommatidia wide.
Genae elongate, about 2/3 as tall as lower eye lobes.
Antennae about 1.5 times as long as body; antennal tubercles prominent, widely separated; tubercles
armed at apex with short blunt tooth; scape robust, strongly clavate, a little shorter than antennomere III
and IV; antennomere III slightly sinuous, about as long as IV; antennomeres IV-X becoming progressively
shorter, XI distinctly longer than X; basal 1/2 of antennomeres IV-VIII with distinctly lighter pubescence.
Pronotum subcylindrical, slightly narrower at base, slightly transverse, about 1.1 times as wide as
long, sides slightly sinuous, without lateral protuberances (Fig. 6a); disk with three feebly elevated tu-
bercles; disk microsculptured and shallowly, sparsely punctate.
Scutellum transverse, sides straight, oblique, apex rounded.
Elytra about 2.25 times as long as width at humeri (Fig. 6a), about 3.6 times as long as pronotal
length, about 1.25 times broader basally than pronotum at widest (at apex); sides straight, nearly paral-
lel, elytral apices individually rounded; base of each elytron with a feeble gibbosity; basal 1/3 of elytra with
dense punctation, surface coarsely punctate; humeri slightly prominent, anterior margin arcuate, angle
with small, obtuse tubercle.
Venter with procoxae moderate, globose, not uncate (Fig. 6c); narrowest area of prosternal process
between procoxae about 1/5 as wide as procoxal cavity; apex of prosternal process subtriangular. Mesosternal
process about 1/2 as wide as mesocoxal cavity; mesosternal process deeply emarginate. Fifth sternite
about as long as IV, apex feebly emarginate.
Legs short in length; femora clavate apically; tibiae slightly expanded apically; metafemora about 1/4-
1/5 as long as elytra.
Female. Length 9.9 mm (measured from vertex to elytral apices), width 3.0 mm (measured across
humeri). Similar to male except antennae only slightly longer than body; antennomere XI shorter than X;
fifth sternite about twice as long as IV, with a median triangular impression.
Type Material. Holotype, male (Fig. 6a-b), “PANAMA, Bayano Dist., 15 km W Ipeti, May 5 1984, E.
Giesbert coll.” (FSCA). Allotype, female, same data as holotype (FSCA).
Etymology. We take pleasure in naming this species for James E. Wappes with appreciation for his
friendship, encouragement, and inspiration. Jim has collected extensively in the Neotropics and has
contributed greatly to our knowledge of Cerambycidae. The epithet is a noun in the genitive case.
Diagnosis and Remarks. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following combination
of characters: elytral with predominantly white pubescence except darker maculae at apical 1/3; venter
with predominantly white pubescence; and distinctly small form. Three other species in this genus are
known from Panama, but are not easily confused with T. wappesi. This species is most similar to Trestonia
grisea Martins and Galileo, 1990 but can be separated by the shorter antennae (more than twice as long
as body in male of T. grisea), antennomere IV length (distinctly longer than III in T. grisea); elytra
proportions (more elongate in T. grisea), and the mottled pubescence of the head (with predominantly
testaceous pubescence in T. grisea). Nothing is known about the habitat and behavior of this species;
however, Martins (1975) reported that members of this genus oviposit in dead wood.

Discussion. Paraplerodia acarinata Martins and Galileo, 2010 was described from a single female speci-
men [identified as a male in the original description] collected in Buena Vista, Bolivia. Tibiosioma maculosa
Martins and Galileo, 2007 was described from a series of specimens collected at the same locality. The
holotype of T. maculosa (deposited at the MNKM) is unavailable for study; however, comparison of the
holotype of P. acarinata (Fig. 7a) with three specimens of T. maculosa (2 female paratypes and 1 male
specimen) revealed that there are no characters to separate the two species (e.g., Fig. 7a-d). Based on close
morphological similarities and shared type locality, P. acarinata is synonymized with T. maculosa.

Ophthalmocydrus semiorbifer Aurivillius, 1925.
= Kuauna schmidi Martins and Galileo, 2009, new synonymy
Discussion. The monotypic genus Kuauna was erected for the species Kuauna schmidi Martins and
Galileo, 2009 (Fig. 8d), which was described from a single specimen collected in Venezuela. Based on the
illustrations in the original descriptions of both species, K. schmidi is synonymized with Ophthalmocydrus
semiorbifer Aurivillius, 1925 (Fig. 8a-c), previously known only from Colombia. Thus, Kuauna Martins
and Galileo, 2009 (Lamiinae: Pteropliini) becomes a synonym of Ophthalmocydrus Aurivillius, 1925.
Specimens of Ophthalmocydrus are rare in collections. Close examination of a female specimen of O.
semiorbifer (USNM) revealed a combination of characters which do not fit the definition of Onciderini:
antennomere IV longest; frons strongly convex; lower lobe of eyes distinctly large, about 5 times taller
than genae; and elytral apices individually truncate, forming acute points at outer margins. Based on
these morphological characters, the genus Ophthalmocydrus is transferred to Pteropliini and the known
range of the genus is extended to Venezuela.

Discussion. The monotypic genus Ischiomaeocles Franz, 1954, was created for Ischiomaeocles
salvadorensis Franz, 1954 (Fig. 9a-d) which was described from a single female specimen collected in El
Salvador. Examination of the holotype (deposited at the SMFD) revealed that there are no characters to
distinguish it from female specimens of the genus Lochmaeocles. Ischiomaeocles salvadorensis is here
transferred to Lochmaeocles, creating the new combination Lochmaeocles salvadorensis (Franz, 1954),
and Ischiomaeocles Franz becomes a new synonym of Lochmaeocoles Bates. Although Lochmaeocles is
not currently recorded from El Salvador, it is widely distributed in North, Central, and South America,
including the two countries bordering El Salvador (Guatemala, Honduras).
