Synopsis of Brazilian Euphoria Burmeister, 1842 (Scarabaeoidea: Cetoniidae: Cetoniinae: Cetoniini) with description of a new species

Abstract

ABSTRACT The Brazilian species of Euphoria Burmeister are revised. We describe E. euridesi sp. nov., a new species from the Cerrado biome of Brazil, and redescribe E. lurida (Fabricius 1775). Both species are illustrated and diagnostic characters that distinguish them are presented. A key to the seven South american species of Euphoria and observations on the natural history are also given.
