Two new species and taxonomical and geographical notes on Aegomorphus Haldeman (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae)

Acanthoderes crocostigma Bates, 1880 is transferred to Acakyra Martins & Galileo, 1996. Acanthoderes umbrata Bates, 1885 is synonymized with Acanthoderes purulensis Bates, 1885. Variation of the elytral pubescent pattern in Aegomorphus longitarsis (Bates, 1880) is reported, and the species is recorded for the first time from Colombia (Boyacá) and Brazil (Amazonas). The variation of the elytral pubescent pattern in Aegomorphus doctus (Bates, 1880) is reported, and the species is recorded for the first time from the Mexican state of Jalisco. We comment on the type-locality of Aegomorphus borrei (Dugès, 1885). Two new species are described from Mexico (Jalisco): Aegomorphus cunninghami and A. nogueirai.(AU)

Description of the female of Anasillus crinitus Marinoni amp; Martins 1978 (Coleoptera: Lamiinae: Acanthoderini) and new distribution records of longhorned beetles for Colombia.

Marinoni Martins (1978) proposed Anasillus for a single species, A. crinitus Marinoni Martins, 1978, based on a single male specimen from Peru, and until now, the female remained unknown. Herein, the female of this species is described and illustrated for the first time, and its geographical distribution is expanded to Colombia. Additionally, the geographical distribution of seven species of Cerambycidae is expanded to Colombia: Coleoxestia vittata (Thomson, 1861); Sphallenopsis pilosovittata (Bates, 1872); Aneflus (Protaneflus) minutivestis Chemsak Linsley, 1963; Mallocera amazonica Bates, 1870; Compsibidion charile (Bates, 1870); Alcidion sulphurifer (White, 1855); and Acanthoderes (Acanthoderes) ariasi Chemsak Hovore, 2002.

A new species, new distribution records, and taxonomic notes in Lamiinae (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) from Colombia.

Psapharochrus auratus sp. nov., from Colombia, is described and illustrated. A new combination, Psapharochrus penrosei (Thomson, 1864) is proposed. The geographical distribution of seven species of Lamiinae is expanded to include them in the Colombian fauna, and eight new department records from Colombia are reported. Moreover, taxonomic notes in Lamiinae are provided.

A new genus, four new species and taxonomic and geographic notes in Mexican Cerambycidae.

Four new Mexican species are described: Ironeus curoei from Guerrero state, Psyrassa garciai from Tamaulipas state, Psyrassa belangeri from Guerrero state (Elaphidiini, Cerambycinae); and Cirrhicera bankoi from Chiapas state (Hemilophini, Lamiinae). A new Hesperophanini genus, Makromastax, and a new combination, Makromastax mandibularis are proposed. The current key to the Mexican genera of Hesperophanini is updated to include the new genus. Haplidus nitidus Chemsak and Linsley, 1963 is proposed as synonyms of Haplidus mandibularis Chemsak and Linsley, 1963. The male of Eburia (E.) girouxae is illustrated by the first time and Anelaphus hirtus is redescribed and figured. The geographical distribution of 9 species is expanded, the type locality of Osmidus guttatus is corrected, and Neocompsa intrincata is excluded from the fauna of the United States of America.

Synonymies, transferences, redescriptions and new species in Lamiinae (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae).

 The differences between Psapharochrus Thomson, 1864 and Acanthoderes Audinet-Serville, 1835 (as well as the current subgenera of the latter) are discussed. Pteridotelus hematopus (Lameere, 1884) is synonymized with Pteridotelus laticornis White, 1855, and the species is redescribed. Psapharochrus abstersus (Bates, 1880) and Psapharochrus pupillatus (Bates, 1880) are transferred to Acanthoderes (Scythropopsis) and redescribed. Desmiphora (Desmiphora) senicula Bates, 1866 is synonymized with D. (D.) elegantula White, 1855; the species is redescribed, the holotype of D. (D.) elegantula figured for the first time, and newly recorded for the Brazilian states of Mato Grosso do Sul and São Paulo. Desmiphora (Desmiphora) normae sp. nov. from the Brazilian state of Bahia, is described and illustrated.

Phylogeny of the Neotropical longhorn beetle genus Ateralphus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae)

Ateralphus Restello, Iannuzzi & Marinoni, 2001 is a Neotropical genus of longhorn beetles composed of nine species. This genus was proposed from splitting Alphus White, 1855 into other two genera: Ateralphus and Exalphus Restello, Iannuzzi & Marinoni, 2001. Even though Ateralphus (nine species), Alphus (four) and Exalphus (18) were recently revised, their validity has not been tested using phylogenetic methods. In this study, we carried out a cladistic analysis of Ateralphus and its related genera, Alphus and Exalphus, based on 44 morphological characters of the adults, to test their monophyly and infer the relationships between their species. Our results support the monophyly of the three genera and recovered two clades that corroborate the species-groups previously recognized in Ateralphus. A new genus, Grandateralphus gen. n., is proposed for one of these clades, which is supported by three synapomorphies: width of upper ocular lobes less than width between the lobe and the coronal suture (character state 6: 0), genae parallel in frontal view (8: 1) and scape gradually expanded toward apex, reaching widest diameter just near apex (9: 2). Grandateralphus gen. n. includes three new combinations: G. lacteus (Galileo & Martins, 2006), comb. n.; G. tumidus (Souza & Monné, 2013), comb. n.; and G. variegatus (Mendes, 1938), comb. n. Notes on the distribution of G. variegatus comb. n. and a new record of E. cicatricornis Schmid, 2014 for Bolivia (Santa Cruz) are provided.
