Seven new species of Oncideres Lacordaire, 1830 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Onciderini) are described and illustrated: Oncideres aliciae from French Guiana, Oncideres barclayi from French Guiana, Oncideres bezarki from Argentina, Oncideres birai from Peru, Oncideres brunapalanzae from Colombia, Oncideres jodii from French Guiana, and Oncideres svachai from French Guiana. The following 10 new synonymies in Onciderini are proposed: Euthima wendtae Martins, 1979 = Euthima variegata (Aurivillius, 1921); Ischiocentra nobilitata Thomson, 1868 = Ischiocentra clavata Thomson, 1861; Japi Martins & Galileo, 2012 = Oncideres Lacordaire, 1830; Japi duartei Martins & Galileo, 2012 = Oncideres pectoralis Thomson, 1868; Oncideres aurantiaca Galileo & Martins, 2010 = Oncideres fulvostillata Bates, 1872; Oncideres estebani Martins & Galileo, 2010 = Oncideres putator brevifasciata Dillon & Dillon, 1946; Oncideres maculosa Redtenbacher, 1868 = Lochmaeocles fasciatus (Lucas, 1859); Oncideres sparsemaculatus Martins & Galileo, 2010 = Oncideres ocellaris Bates, 1885; Ubytyra Galileo & Martins, 2012 = Hesychotypa Thomson, 1868; Ubytyra tuberosa Galileo & Martins, 2012 = Hesychotypa morvanae Audureau, 2012. Oncideres miliaris (Voet, 1778) and Trachysomus dromedarius (Voet, 1778) are nomina nuda; Oncideres miliaris (Schönherr, 1817) is the correct name for the former and Trachysomus verrucosus (Olivier, 1795) is the correct name for the latter. A neotype is designated for Lamia miliaris Schönherr, 1817 and Oncideres miliaris (Schönherr, 1817) is redescribed. Lectotypes are designated for the following seven species: Ischiocentra alternans Aurivillius, 1920; Lamia acromii Dalman, 1823; Lamia albisparsa Germar, 1824; Lamia globifera Fabricius, 1801; Lamia impluviata Germar, 1824; Lamia ulcerosa Germar, 1824; Oncideres maculosus Redtenbacher, 1868. Forty-one new country records are also reported in Onciderini.
