A tribal transfer and four new distributional records in South American Cerambycidae (Coleoptera), with notes on Stenoeme aguilari Galileo & Martins and Stenoeme bellarmini Gounelle

Abstract

Abstract In this study, we document new Brazilian state records for the cerambycid beetles Eburodacrystola pickeli (Melzer, 1928) (Cerambycinae, Eburiini), Phygomelitta triangularis (Fuchs, 1961) (Cerambycinae, Rhinotragini), and Oreodera bituberculata Bates, 1861 (Lamiinae, Acrocinini). Additionally, Stenoeme aguilari Galileo & Martins, 2010 (Cerambycinae, Oemini) is recorded for the first time in Brazil. We also discuss the probable synonymy between Stenoeme aguilari and S. bellarmini Gounelle, 1909. Furthermore, we propose the transfer of Piezosecus Martins & Galileo, 2003, from Piezocerini to Hesperophanini (Hesperophanina), examining the features currently used to define Hesperophanini and the differences between it and Piezocerini.
