ZooKeys 17: 1-55. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.17.217 Abstract The generic differences and similarities between Leptostylus LeConte and Leptostylopsis Dillon (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Acanthocinini) are discussed. Leptostylopsis is redescribed and the following species are transferred from Leptostylus to Leptostylopsis: Leptostylopsis annulipes (Fisher 1942), comb. n.; Leptostylopsis poeyi (Fisher 1925), comb. n.; and Leptostylopsis viridicomus (Fisher 1942), comb. n. Leptostylopsis hispani- olae (Fisher 1942) is a syn. n. of Leptostylopsis annulipes (Fisher 1942). Seven new species of Leptostylopsis from Hispaniola are diagnosed, described, and illustrated: L. basifulvus Lingafelter and Micheli, sp. n.; L. caliginosus Lingafelter and Micheli, sp. n.; L. chlorescens Lingafelter and Micheli, sp. n.; L. umerofulvus Lingafelter and Micheli, sp. n.; L. perfasciatus Lingafelter and Micheli, sp. n.; L. puntacanaensis Lingafel- ter and Micheli, sp. n.; and L. thomasi Lingafelter and Micheli, sp. n. Redescriptions and distributional data are provided for the six previously described species known from Hispaniola, and a dichotomous key to all thirteen species of Leptostylopsis from Hispaniola is provided.

Lingafelter & Charyn J. Micheli / ZooKeys 17: 1-55 (2009) Introduction The Acanthocinini is one of the largest and most taxonomically confusing tribes in the family Cerambycidae. There are 148 genera in the New World alone (Monné 2005; Monné and Bezark 2009), many of which are in need of revision. The primary source of confusion is the abundance of new and described species. The discovery and de- scription of new species frequently reveals that original generic definitions are unnatu- ral. Solutions include broadening the generic definitions to legitimately include more species that share many features or proposing generic synonymies so that narrowly defined, but very similar genera, are merged to encompass all the species that share characters of the type species. The New World genera Leptostylus LeConte (1852) and Leptostylopsis Dillon (1956) are examples of this type of taxonomic chaos. Micheli (2006) alluded to this problem when she wrote: “Thorough examination of many specimens of several different genera within Acanthocinini such as Leptostylopsis, Leptostylus, Styloleptus, and the former An- tilleptostylus has been done looking into the validity of the prosternal width as a charac- ter to distinguish between closely related genera. It has been concluded that the slight differences seen between species and sexes is quite variable and that the definition of a genus, at least of those examined here, should not rest on such a continuous character.” Leptostylus and Leptostylopsis are both relatively species rich genera (Leptostylus has 79 species; Leptostylopsis has 23 prior to this work). When Leptostylus was proposed by LeConte (1852), it was based on nine species from the United States. No type spe- cies was originally designated, but Thomson (1864) subsequently designated the wide- spread taxon, Lamia aculifera Say, 1824 (a synonym of Leptostylus transversus Gyllen- hal, 1817). Since then, 70 additional species, mostly from Central and South America, and described by many authors, have been placed in Leptostylus. LeConte defined Lep- tostylus based on “the shortness of the basal joint of the posterior tarsi. The appearance is that of Mesosa: the thorax is tuberculous on the disc, and more or less prominent on the sides; the elytra are very slightly truncate at the tip.” Leptostylopsis was proposed by Dillon (1956) based on four species from eastern and southern United States (some of which also occurred on Caribbean islands). He designated Leptostylus terraecolor Horn (1880) as the type species. He did not assess how the Caribbean “Leptostylus” species, mostly described by Fisher (1925, 1932, 1942), conformed to Leptostylopsis. Recently, Micheli and Micheli (2004) described three additional species of Leptostylopsis from Puerto Rico. Prior to our current study, Leptostylopsis contained 23 species. Dillon distinguished Leptostylopsis from Leptostylus as follows: “this genus [Lepto- stylopsis| differs in the less strongly tuberculate pronotal disk, and the longer antennae with the fifth and sixth antennomeres much longer, the latter being about 2/3 as long as first. Furthermore, the shape and breadth of the front are distinctive, and the mesos- ternal process is broader, exceeding, as a rule, a mesocoxal cavity in width.” In this work, we broaden the definition of Leptostylopsis to include all species from Hispaniola formerly placed in Leptostylus. We provide descriptions of the 13 species The genus Leptostylopsis of Hispaniola (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Acanthocinini) 3 of Leptostylopsis from Hispaniola (including 7 new to science). All species, except L. argentatus (Jacquelin du Val), are apparently endemic to Hispaniola. We provide a di- chotomous key to all the species, along with distribution maps and anatomical figures, and a list of all currently recognized species in Leptostylopsis. This work is part of the groundwork necessary for the preparation of a Field Guide of Longhorned Beetles of the Dominican Republic, and is the penultimate in a series of papers describing the fauna (Lingafelter 2008, Lingafelter and Nearns 2006, 2007, Lingafelter and Woodley 2007). Methods The material consulted in this study is primarily the result of expeditions from the Smithsonian Institution (present authors), Carnegie Museum (John Rawlins and Rob- ert Davidson), Florida State Collection of Arthropods (Michael Thomas), and The West Indian Beetle Fauna Project (Michael Ivie), along with individual collections of James Wappes, Edmund Giesbert, Robert Woodruff, Eugenio Nearns, Norman Woodley, Alexander Konstantinov, Kelvin Guerrero, and many others. The following collections were examined in the course of this study (curators and/ or contact persons listed for most). Collections at the AMNH and MCZC were exam- ined via images on their online databases (AMNH, 2009; MCZC, 2009). Images of holotypes described in this paper are available at Lingafelter and Nearns (2009). While some of these collections did not contain material of the Hispaniolan species described below, they all proved invaluable for making species identifications. Of particular note is the Zayas collection which was examined by Eugenio Nearns (Nearns et al., 2006). Some material from USNM and CMNH representing the included species ultimately will be deposited in the DRMC: AMNH_ American Museum of Natural History, New York, NY, USA (L.

Leptostylopsis Dillon, 1956 Type species: Leptostylus terraecolor Horn, 1880, by original designation (Dillon 1956). Maps 1-12, Figs 1-117 Diagnosis. Leptostylopsis can be confused only with Leptostylus, Fisherostylus Gilmour 1963, and Styloleptus Dillon 1956. Leptostylopsis differs from Leptostylus (using prima- rily the type species L. transversus Gyllenhal) by its longer scape (not extending beyond middle of pronotum in Leptostylus); longer antennae (often as long as body or longer) with antennomeres 6-11 longer than 3-5 [except females of L. poeyi] (in Leptostylus, the antennae are about the length of the body or shorter and 6-11 are subequal to or shorter than 3-5); a well-defined, vertical epipleuron (less defined in Leptostylus); the mesosternum between mesocoxae at least as wide as a mesocoxa, often 1.1-1.3 x width of mesocoxa (narrower than mesocoxa in most Leptostylus species); and its relatively long terminal ventrite, usually around 2 x as broad as long, with a glabrous midline in females of most species (2.5 x as broad as long and without glabrous midline in most Leptostylus). Fisherostylus, a monotypic genus which is known only from Cuba and the Bahamas, probably should be synonymized with Leptostylopsis since it shares the features of most species based on our redefinition. However, it is distinctive as a species with its boldly patterned elytra and white pubescent pronotum and cannot be confused with any species from Hispaniola. Styloleptus, which has seven described spe- cies in Hispaniola, differs from Leptostylopsis (and Leptostylus) by the broad, rounded lateral pronotal tubercle positioned at the basal 1/3 of the pronotum and the pronotal disk lacking distinct dorsal calli or tubercles (Micheli, 2006). Redescription. Length: 5 mm [small specimens of L. terraecolor (Horn) & L. ar- gentatus (Jacquelin du Val)] — 15 mm [L. puntacanaensis, sp. n.]; width (at elytral base): 2 mm [small specimens of L. terraecolor (Horn)] — 6 mm [L. puntacanaensis, sp. n.]. Head: Short, broad, flattened anteriorly with vertical frons; covered in dense, ap- pressed, tawny or brown pubescence throughout with exception of narrow, median line on frons (median-frontal line), variably evident in different species, and glabrous line extending from anterior tentorial pits along anterior margin of genae to base of mandible (fronto-genal line). Median-frontal line extending from fronto-clypeal The genus Leptostylopsis of Hispaniola (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Acanthocinini) 5 margin to between lower eye lobes [complete to vertex and occiput in L. cristatus (Fisher) or mostly covered by pubescence in L. annulipes (Fisher), L. milleri (Fisher), L. viridicomus (Fisher), L. chlorescens, sp. n., and L. basifulvus, sp. n.]. Fronto-genal line sometimes extending to lower eye-lobe margin as in L. puntacanaensis. Antenna: 11-segmented, without spines or modification to antennomeres; covered with dense, appressed pubescence (white or tawny, but not completely obscuring integument); somewhat less dense along middle parts of antennomeres, mottled in appearance; in- tegument darker at apex and base of most antennomeres, annulate in appearance (ex- cept L. humerofulvus, sp. n., that lacks annula on scape). Last antennomere in most species uniformly dark, without annulae, of similar coloration to apex of penultimate antennomere (except some specimens of L. perfasciatus, sp. n., L. puntacanaensis, L. humerofulvus, and L. albosignatus Fisher). Antennae longer than body in males, extend- ing beyond apices typically by 3-4 antennomeres (4-6 in L. perfasciatus and L. punta- canaensis). In females, antennae shorter, but still extending beyond elytral apices by at least 3 antennomeres in most species (but less than 1 antennomere in most L. poeyi (Fisher) specimens, at least 4 in L. perfasciatus and L. puntacanaensis). Dimorphism in antennal length; antennomeres 6-11 relatively longer in males than females. In males, last antennomere usually shorter than penultimate; in females, usually subequal, but still shorter overall than in males. Antennal scape gradually enlarged apically, without cicatrix; extending to posterior 1/3 or 1/4 of pronotum in most species (however, more thickened and shorter in L. poeyi, not extending to middle of pronotum; extending to near posterior margin in L. thomasi, sp. n.). Eye: small, coarsely faceted, deeply notched, embracing moderately prominent antennal tubercle; lower eye lobe usually about as tall as gena below it and over 2 x height of upper eye lobe (however, much smaller in L. terraecolor (Horn), L. argentatus (Jacquelin du Val), L. milleri (Fisher), and L. puntacanaensis); lobes connected by 4-8 rows of ommatidia in most specimens. Upper eye lobes separated by about greatest width of scape or more in most species (usually about 1.1 x width of scape, but much closer together in L. poeyi and L. humer- ofulvus). Mouthparts: frontoclypeal margin with fringe of short pubescence extending to about base of labrum (but longer at sides); clypeus without pubescence except at ex- treme base. Labrum coated with dense, mostly appressed, white or tawny pubescence with 8-10 long, suberect, translucent setae. Labial and maxillary palpi typical of Lami- inae with apical palpomeres conical, longer and narrower than penultimate. Thorax: Pronotum with rounded lateral tubercles with greatest projection slightly behind middle in most specimens (more acute in some species: e.g., L. thomasi, L. puntacanaensis, and L. chlorescens, sp. n.); with raised dorsal tubercles of following arrangement: large ovoid prominence at middle (usually the largest, but L. milleri and L. basifulvus, sp. n., are exceptions), surrounded by four other prominences (two anterolateral and two posterolateral). Middle prominence typically highest, partially devoid of pubescence; in some species, anterolateral elevations smaller but more el- evated. Pronotum usually with anteromedial and posteromedial elevations at margins. Pronotum mostly covered in appressed, ochraceous, white, off-white, iridiscent green, and/or black pubescence in some combination. Pronotum with black maculae around 6 Steven W. Lingafelter & Charyn J. Micheli / ZooKeys 17: 1-55 (2009) margins and sometimes at center, in varying patterns; sometimes with ochraceous patches of pubescence (e.g., L. annulipes and L. basifulvus, sp. n.). Pronotum slightly constricted before anterior and posterior margins; constrictions (particularly posteri- orly) lined with row of separate, large punctures. Additional punctures scattered over pronotal disk, often mostly obscured by pubescence. Prosternum smooth, impunctate, covered with uniform, appressed pubescence of similar color to rest of venter. Pros- ternal process often very broad between procoxae, usually about 0.7-1.1 times width of procoxa in most specimens (but much narrower in L. poeyi, L. viridicomus, and L. puntacanaensis); apex greatly expanded to middle of posterior margin of coxa on each side, closing procoxal cavities posteriorly. Scutellum moderately to densely pubescent; broadly rounded posteriorly in most species, occasionally subtriangular (e.g., L. thoma- si). Mesosternum smooth, impunctate, covered with uniform, appressed pubescence of similar color to rest of venter, less dense on anterior 1/3 which is deeply constricted. Mesosternal process between mesocoxae very broad, widely separating mesocoxae, at least 1.0-1.5 x width of mesocoxa (widest in L. argentatus, narrowest in L. poeyi and L. thomasi). Mesosternum without ventral protuberance and without lateral projec- tions into mesocoxae. Metasternum about length of first two ventrites combined, or longer; deeply indented posteriorly at middle to accommodate triangular extension of first sternite between metacoxae; covered with appressed pubescence of similar color to remainder of venter, often more mottled at sides and lateral thoracic sclerites. Elytra: covered with mostly appressed, white, tawny, dark brown, or iridescent green pubes- cence (or some combination), with rows of small tubercles generally along costae and sometimes along suture. Tubercles at base of elytra most prominent, sometimes form- ing pronounced crests with tufts of pubescence erupting from apices (as in L. cristatus and L. thomasi). Humeri projecting slightly, in some species denuded at apex and marked at anterior margin (base) with black macula. Epipleuron pronounced, vertical or subvertical. Elytral apex subtruncate or truncate, without spines or acute projection. Legs: mostly uniformly pubescent with appressed hairs (white, off-white, tawny, irides- cent green, or some combination) throughout; apex of tibiae annulate with darker or translucent pubescence or less dense pubescence revealing darker integument. Femora moderately to strongly clavate, abruptly narrowed into basal peduncle (clavate portion and peduncle portion each about equal in length on hind and middle legs; clavate portion about 4 times longer than peduncle on forelegs); tibiae approximately equal in length to femora; hind legs much longer than forelegs; metafemora extending to about abdominal apex. Tarsomeres | and 2 (at least) generally coated with short, appressed, white or off-white pubescence (tarsi all black and similar in coloration to tibial apex in L. poeyi, L. milleri, L. perfasciatus, and L. thomasi). Abdomen: Five visible ventrites covered with appressed, white, off-white, tawny, or green pubescence (or some combination), often more mottled at sides. First ventrite with prominent triangular projection mesally between metacoxae; fifth ventrite in fe- males often narrowed and extended at middle, longer than in males, usually over 2 x as broad as long, 1.3-1.4 x as broad as long in L. cristatus and L. caliginosus, sp. n., usually with glabrous midline at base, extending toward apex for 1/3 or more of overall length. The genus Leptostylopsis of Hispaniola (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Acanthocinini) 7 Remarks. It is necessary to broaden the definition of Leptostylopsis to accom- modate the many species described in the genus since originally proposed by Dillon (1956) (and to appropriately place the taxa originally described in Leptostylus). Dillon's separation of the genera based on the level of tuberculation of the pronotal disk, an- tennal length, and mesosternal process no longer functioned. These genera are still in need of revision, as are many in Acanthocinini. Leptostylus itself contains 79 described and many more undescribed species and undoubtedly includes many that should be transferred to Leptostylopsis or perhaps other new genera, since they lack characters of the type species. For example, some Central American Leptostylopsis (e.g., L. pal- liatus Bates) have a distinct lateral tubercle on each side of the mesosternal process between the mesocoxae that fits into a corresponding indentation on the mesocoxae. This character alone defines a subset of Leptostylus that could be used as a character for a new genus. There are many other characters that certainly will be found upon careful revisionary work in the tribe, but this is beyond the scope of this regional treatment. Leptostylopsis annulipes (Fisher, 1942), comb. n. Map 1, Figs 3, 16, 31, 46, 61, 76, 90, 105 Leptostylus annulipes Fisher, 1942:28 Leptostylus hispaniolae (Fisher, 1942):30 Leptostylopsis hispaniolae (Fisher, 1942):30, syn. n. Leptostylopsis hispaniolae; Gilmour, 1963:59 Diagnosis. ‘This species is similar to Leptostylopsis milleri (Fisher) but has the setae atop the elytral tubercles appressed (partially erect in L. milleri). It also is similar to Leptostylopsis antillarum (Fisher), a species not known from Hispaniola, but differs in having a dark, black macula at the base of the humeri (absent in L. antillarum). Most specimens have some elytral pubescence with a greenish tinge combined with ochra- ceous pubescence concentrated at the basal and apical 1/4 of the elytra and on the pronotum (most specimens of L. antillarum have more uniformly colored pubescence without a greenish tinge or in ochraceous patches.) L. annulipes is also very similar to Leptostylus castaneovirescens Zayas, a species known only from Cuba and which can be distinguished by its longer antennae (Zayas, 1975). The pubescence patterns appear to be very similar between the two species, and L. castaneovirescens may be conspecific with L. annulipes. Careful examination of the paratypes of L. hispaniolae (Fisher) show them to be conspecific with L. annulipes. The holotype of L. hispaniolae is somewhat unusual in having a bold white fascia at the middle of the elytra, but it appears to be nothing more than a dramatically patterned specimen. Examination of many other specimens of L. annulipes shows that the white macula is variably developed, and the holotype of L. hispaniolae merely represents an extreme of this variation.

Mouthparts: frontoclypeal margin with fringe of short pubescence extending about halfway to base of labrum; clypeus without pubescence except at extreme base. Labrum coated with dense, mostly appressed, white or off-white pubescence with 8-10 long, suberect, translucent setae. Thorax: Pronotum with very slightly protuberant, broadly rounded lateral tuber- cles with greatest projection slightly behind middle; with weakly raised dorsal tubercles with following arrangement: large oval prominence at middle, surrounded by four smaller prominences (two anterolateral, two posterolateral). Pronotum with slight an- teromedial elevation at margin. Pronotum mostly covered in appressed pubescence of several colors (white, pale green, tawny, and ochre). Ochraceous pubescence forms two indistinct anterolateral maculae. Pronotum with slight constriction before anterior and posterior margins, with constrictions (particularly posteriorly) lined with row of sepa- rate, large punctures. Additional smaller punctures scattered over pronotal disk, some obscured by pubescence. Prosternum smooth, impunctate, covered with uniform, ap- pressed, white or tawny pubescence. Prosternal process broad between procoxae, about 3/4 width of procoxa in most specimens. Scutellum moderately to densely tawny or ochraceous pubescent (occasionally with white pubescence at base and pale irides- cent green pubescence at apex); broadly rounded posteriorly. Mesosternum smooth, impunctate, covered with uniform, appressed pubescence, less dense on anterior 1/3 which is deeply constricted. Mesosternal process between mesocoxae very broad, wide- ly separating mesocoxae by about 1.25 x width of mesocoxa.

Endemic to Hispaniola, this species is known from southeastern Haiti and throughout the Dominican Republic (Map 1). With the synonymy of L. hispaniolae, the holotype of which is from Port-au-Prince, Haiti represents a new coun- try record. This species previously was recorded only from the Dominican Republic by Perez-Gelabert (2008) and Monné and Bezark (2009).

In older, worn specimens, much of the pubescence may be rubbed from the elytra, making identification difficult, but there usually are a few small yellow spots still evident. Redescription. Length: 7.0-12.0 mm; width: 3.0-5.0 mm. Head: Covered throughout in dense, appressed, mottled white or off-white pu- bescence. Mostly obscured narrow, median-frontal line extending from fronto-clypeal margin to between lower eye lobes, continuing in most specimens as median-vertex line between upper eye lobes to occiput. Short, glabrous frontal-genal line extending from anterior tentorial pits along anterior margin of genae to base of mandible. An- tenna: covered with dense, appressed, mottled white and tawny pubescence; annulate at apex and base of most antennomeres. Terminal antennomere uniformly dark, with- out annulae, similar in color to apex of penultimate antennomere. Antennae longer than body in males, extending by 4-5 antennomeres beyond elytral apices. Antennae shorter in females, extending by 3-4 antennomeres beyond elytral apices. In both sexes, last antennomere subequal to penultimate. Antennal scape extending to posterior 1/4 of pronotum. Eye: lower eye lobe about 3/4 height of gena below it; over 2 x height of upper eye lobe; lobes connected by 6-8 rows of ommatidia. Upper eye lobes separated by slightly more than greatest width of scape. Mouthparts: frontoclypeal margin with fringe of short pubescence extending beyond base of labrum; clypeus without pubes- cence except at extreme base. Labrum coated with dense, mostly appressed, white or off-white pubescence with 8-10 long, suberect, translucent setae. 14 Steven W. Lingafelter & Charyn J.

Locality records for Leptostylopsis annulipes (Fisher) and Leptostylopsis argentatus (Jacquelin du Val) in Hispaniola. Thorax: Pronotum with weakly to moderately protuberant, broadly rounded lat- eral tubercles with greatest projection slightly behind middle; with moderately raised dorsal tubercles with following arrangement: large oval, partially denuded prominence at middle, surrounded by four smaller prominences (two anterolateral and two poste- rolateral). Pronotum with partially glabrous, slight anteromedial elevation at margin. Pronotum mostly covered in appressed, white or off-white pubescence; incompletely glabrous longitudinal medial line present from middle tubercle to base of scutellum, continuing between anterolateral tubercles to pronotal margin at middle. Short, gla- brous, black line on outside edge of anterolateral calli, angling to anterior pronotal margin. Pronotum with moderate constrictions before anterior and posterior margins, each lined with row of separate, large punctures (the largest along posterior margin). Additional smaller punctures scattered over pronotal disk, around dorsal tubercles, some obscured by pubescence. Prosternum smooth, impunctate, covered with uni- The genus Leptostylopsis of Hispaniola (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Acanthocinini) 15 form, appressed, white or tawny pubescence. Prosternal process broad between pro- coxae, about as wide as procoxa. Scutellum moderately to densely white pubescent (oc- casionally with yellow pubescence at apex); broadly rounded posteriorly. Mesosternum smooth, impunctate, covered with uniform, appressed, white pubescence, less dense on anterior 1/3 which is deeply constricted. Mesosternal process between mesocoxae very broad, separating mesocoxae by about 1.5 x width of mesocoxa. Metasternum covered with appressed, white pubescence, becoming mottled at sides and on the lat- eral thoracic sclerites. Elytra: covered with combination of mostly appressed, white pubescence with small raised spots of yellow setae scattered throughout and a few spots of black setae along suture at middle 1/3 and in a short, transverse macula postmedi- ally, starting at suture and extending laterad to about 1/4 to 1/3 of elytral width. Elytra with rows of small tubercles generally following along costae. Tubercles at base of elytra most prominent. Humeri projecting slightly. Epipleuron subvertical, not well demar- cated dorsally. Elytral apex subtruncate, with outer apical angle more produced than sutural angle. Legs: mostly uniformly pubescent with appressed, white hairs, somewhat mottled; apex and basal 1/3 of tibiae annulate due to less dense pubescence exposing darker integument. Tibiae approximately equal in length to femora; hind legs much longer than forelegs; metafemora extending to about abdominal apex. ‘Tarsi generally covered with short, appressed, pale pubescence, with exception of mostly glabrous, dark fifth tarsomere. Abdomen: Ventrites covered with appressed, white, pubescence, becoming splotchy at sides. Fifth ventrite about 2.5 x broader than long in females, narrowed and ex- tended at middle, with glabrous midline at base, extending toward apex for 1/3 or more of overall length. Distribution. This widespread species is known from southeast Florida, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, southeastern Haiti, and throughout the Dominican Republic (Map 2). Haiti and the Dominican Republic may represent new country records as this species was not recorded from either country by Perez-Gelabert (2008) or Monné and Bezark (2009) (but was recorded from “Hispaniola” in Monné 2005). Remarks. ‘This species has been collected from May through August at lights, from dead logs, and by beating dead vegetation at night.

The very pronounced crest on the elytral base distinguishes this species from all others in Hispaniola. Additionally, the setae on the tubercles are partially erect, appearing as small tufts. The arrangement of black maculae on the pronotum is also distinctive (although somewhat similar to L. argentatus) as is the combination of very highly elevated anterolateral pronotal tubercles, dark integument, and very elongate ventrite 5 in females. Redescription. Length: 9.0-12.0 mm; width: 4.0-5.0 mm. Head: Covered throughout in dense, appressed, yellowish or ochraceous pubes- cence except for distinct narrow, median line extending from frontoclypeal margin to occiput and short, glabrous frontal-genal line extending from anterior tentorial pits along anterior margin of genae to base of mandible. Antenna: covered with dense, appressed, off-white pubescence; annulate at apex and base of most antennomeres. Last antennomere slightly paler at middle, without distinct annulae; mostly of similar coloration to apex of penultimate antennomere.

Superficially it is simi- lar to L. viridicomus and L. chlorescens, but those species have more extensive green iridescence. Leptostylopsis milleri also has iridescent green setae between the antennal tubercles, generally more developed than in L. viridicomus. It is further distinguished by its uniformly dark tarsi and by the setae atop the elytral tubercles that tend to be semierect (as in L. viridicomus) and not appressed as in L. annulipes. It further differs from L. annulipes in lacking distinct ochraceous pubescence patches on the pronotum 20 Steven W. Lingafelter & Charyn J. Micheli / ZooKeys 17: 1-55 (2009) and elytral base, and differs from L. viridicomus in having a subhumeral black macula which is absent in L. viridicomus. Redescription. Length: 7-11 mm; width: 3.0-4.0 mm. Head: Covered throughout in dense, appressed, mottled off-white to pale ochra- ceous pubescence. Most specimens with small patch of iridescent green pubescence at middle of head between antennal tubercles. Mostly obscured, narrow, median-frontal line present, extending from fronto-clypeal margin to between lower eye lobes (vari- ably developed); short, glabrous frontal-genal line extending from anterior tentorial pits along anterior margin of genae to base of mandible, to ventral edge of lower eye lobe in most specimens. Antenna: covered with dense, appressed, mottled off-white and pale ochraceous pubescence; annulate at apex and base of most antennomeres. Last antennomere uniformly dark, without annulae, of similar coloration to apex of penultimate antennomere. Antennae longer than body in males, extending beyond apices by about 4 antennomeres. In females, antennae shorter, but still extending be- yond elytral apices by about 3 antennomeres. In both sexes, last antennomere slightly shorter than penultimate. Antennal scape extending to posterior 1/3 of pronotum. Eye: relatively small, lower eye lobe 0.7 x as tall as gena below it; less than 2 x height of upper eye lobe; lobes connected by 4-5 rows of ommatidia in most specimens. Upper eye lobes separated by little less than greatest width of scape. Mouthparts: frontoclypeal margin with inconspicuous fringe of short pubescence extending about halfway to base of labrum; clypeus without pubescence except at extreme base. Labrum with incon- spicuous, appressed, off-white or pale ochraceous pubescence with 8-10 long, suberect, translucent setae. Thorax: Pronotum with moderately protuberant, broadly rounded lateral tuber- cles with greatest projection slightly behind middle; with moderately raised dorsal tubercles of following arrangement: oval prominence at middle, partially denuded of pubescence, surrounded by four tubercles (two anterolateral and two smaller poste- rolateral). Pronotum with slight anteromedial elevation at margin. Pronotum mostly covered in appressed, ochraceous and iridescent green pubescence. Black pubescence forming small maculae at middle, opposite base of scutellum, at posterior margin between middle and posterolateral calli, at anterior margin to lateral edge of ante- rolateral tubercles, and at sides, opposite humeral base.

Ochraceous pubescence forming two vague, angled maculae near suture at middle and posterior 1/4. Posterior pale mac- ula bordered anteriorly by angled black macula continuing partially toward median pale macula and laterad toward outer elytral margin. Variably developed small, black maculae also present posterior to basal elytral crests. Rows of small, setose tubercles generally following costae. Tubercles at base of elytra most prominent, forming weak crests. Humeri slightly projecting, marked at anterior margin with black macula that corresponds to small black macula on prothorax. Epipleuron with iridescent green 22 Steven W. Lingafelter & Charyn J. Micheli / ZooKeys 17: 1-55 (2009) pubescence and variably developed elongate, black macula. Elytral apex subtruncate, with outer apical angle more produced posteriorly than sutural angle. Legs: mostly pubescent with mottled, appressed, off-white and pale ochraceous pubescence; apex and basal 1/3 of tibiae vaguely annulate due to less dense and more translucent pubes- cence exposing darker integument. Tibiae approximately equal in length to femora; hind legs much longer than forelegs; metafemora of moderate length, extending to about base or middle of ventrite 5. Tarsi generally coated with short, appressed pubes- cence of similar color to apex of tibiae, appearing very dark. Abdomen: Ventrites covered with appressed, off-white to pale ochraceous pubes- cence, becoming splotchy at sides. Fifth ventrite about 2 x as broad as long in females, narrowed and extended at middle, with glabrous midline at base, typically extending toward apex for 1/3 or more of overall length. Distribution. Endemic to Hispaniola, this species occurs throughout the Domini- can Republic; it is most abundant in the Barahona Peninsula region (Map 4).

The unusually short antennae, particularly in females, with antennomeres 6-11 very short and successively decreasing in length, combined with the distinctive pronotal and elytral maculae comprised of a combination of off-white, pale ochra- ceous, and black pubescence readily distinguishes this species from its congeners. The rather acute lateral pronotal tubercles, narrow intercoxal processes between the procox- ae and mesocoxae, very dark tarsi, and short ventrite 5 in females also are distinctive. Redescription. Length: 6.0-9.0 mm; width: 2.7-4.0 mm. Head: Covered in dense, appressed, off-white and tawny pubescence. Mostly ob- scured narrow, median-frontal line extending from fronto-clypeal margin to between lower eye lobes, continuing in some specimens on vertex; short, glabrous frontal-genal line extending from anterior tentorial pits along anterior margin of genae to base of mandible. Antenna: covered with dense, appressed, mottled off-white and tawny pu- bescence; dark annulate at apex and base of most antennomeres. Last antennomere uniformly dark, without annulae, of similar coloration to apex of penultimate an- tennomere. Antennae relatively short, longer than body in males, typically extending beyond elytral apices by 3 antennomeres. In females, antennae shorter, extending be- yond elytral apices by about 2-3 antennomeres. In both sexes, last antennomere shorter than penultimate. Antennomeres 6-11 very short in females, successively decreasing in length. Antennal scape cylindrical, slightly more expanded apically; relatively short, extending to about middle of pronotum. Lye: lower eye lobe slightly shorter than gena below it; about 2 x height of upper eye lobe; lobes connected by 3-5 rows of omma- tidia in most specimens. Upper eye lobes separated by little less than greatest width of scape. Mouthparts: frontoclypeal margin with fringe of short, ochraceous pubescence extending to about base of labrum; clypeus without pubescence except at extreme base. Labrum coated with dense, mostly appressed, pale ochraceous pubescence with 8-10 longer, suberect, translucent setae. Thorax: Pronotum with moderately acute and protuberant lateral tubercles with greatest projection at middle; with weakly raised dorsal tubercles of following ar- rangement: oval tubercle at middle, partially denuded of pubescence, surrounded by four tubercles (two anterolateral and two posterolateral).

The genus Leptostylopsis of Hispaniola (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Acanthocinini) 35 two transverse, black, postmedial elytral maculae, the anterior of which is bordered by white or off-white pubescence. Description. Length: 7.5-12.0 mm; width: 3.0-4.5 mm. Head: Integument very dark reddish-brown, covered throughout in dense, reddish- brown to tawny pubescence. Mostly obscured narrow, median-frontal line present, extending from fronto-clypeal margin, between antennal tubercles, to occiput (oc- casionally mostly visible). Short, glabrous frontal-genal line present, extending from anterior tentorial pits along anterior margin of genae to base of mandible. Antenna: covered with dense, appressed, mottled white and dark-brown pubescence; dark annu- late at apex and base of most antennomeres. Last antennomere uniformly dark, with- out annulae, similar in color to apex of penultimate antennomere. Antennae longer than body in males, typically extending beyond elytral apices by 3-4 antennomeres. In females, antennae shorter, extending beyond elytral apices by about 2 antennomeres. In both sexes, last antennomere slightly shorter than penultimate. Antennal scape ex- tending to posterior 1/3 or 1/4 of pronotum. Eye: lower eye lobe about as tall as gena below it; over 2 x height of upper eye lobe; lobes connected by 4-6 rows of ommatidia. Upper eye lobes separated by about greatest width of scape. Mouthparts: frontoclypeal margin with fringe of short pubescence extending to about base of labrum (with longer setae at sides); clypeus without pubescence except at extreme base. Labrum coated with dense, mostly appressed, white or off-white pubescence with 8-10 long, suberect, translucent setae. Thorax: Integument very dark reddish-brown. Pronotum with moderately pro- tuberant, rounded lateral tubercles with greatest projection at middle; with mod- erately raised dorsal tubercles of following arrangement: large, partially denuded oval prominence at middle, surrounded by four tubercles (two strongly projecting anterolateral and two weakly projecting posterolateral). Pronotum with slight anter- omedial elevation at margin. Pronotum mostly covered in appressed, reddish-brown or tawny pubescence (some specimens with ochraceous and white pubescence also), with indistinct patches of dark brown to black pubescence anteriorly at margin in front of anterolateral tubercles, posterior to posterolateral tubercles, laterally, op- posite of humeral base, and at posterolateral margins on each side of pronotal disk. Pronotum with slight constriction before anterior and posterior margins, constric- tions (particularly posteriorly) lined with row of separate, large punctures. Many additional smaller punctures scattered over pronotal disk, mostly free of pubescence. Prosternum smooth, impunctate, covered with uniform, appressed, white or very pale ochraceous pubescence. Prosternal process broad between procoxae, about 3/4 width of procoxa. Scutellum very dark, moderately to densely reddish-brown pubes- cent; broadly rounded posteriorly. Mesosternum smooth, impunctate, covered with uniform, appressed, white or off-white pubescence, less dense on anterior 1/3 which is deeply constricted.

Micheli / ZooKeys 17: 1-55 (2009) mostly appressed, reddish-brown pubescence, but with numerous white, ochraceous, and black setae. Pattern typically with two incomplete transverse black maculae at posterior 1/2: one postmedially (bordered anteriorly by white pubescence), the other at apical 1/4 (not present in all specimens). Rows of small tubercles with tufts of black semi-erect setae present along costae and suture. Tubercles at base of elytra most prominent, forming weak crests. Humeri strongly projecting, partially denud- ed dorsally, marked at anterior margin with black macula corresponding to lateral black macula on prothorax. Epipleuron covered with reddish-brown pubescence and small, oval, black macula above metepisternum. Elytral apex subtruncate, with outer apical angle slightly produced posteriorly. Legs: mostly uniformly pubescent with ap- pressed, tawny hairs, somewhat mottled; basal 1/3 and postmedial part of tibiae with partial annula of mottled white pubescence. Tibiae approximately equal in length to femora; hind legs much longer than forelegs; metafemora extending to beyond base of ventrite 5. Tarsi generally coated with short, appressed, white or off-white pubes- cence; apices of tarsomeres with less pubescence, darker. Abdomen: Ventrites very dark reddish-brown, covered with appressed, white or off-white pubescence, becoming more splotchy at sides. Fifth ventrite of females 1.3 x broader than long, narrowed and greatly extended at middle, with inconspicuous gla- brous midline at base, extending toward apex for about 1/5 of overall length. Distribution. Endemic to Hispaniola, this species is known from the Cordillera Central, Sierra de Neiba, and Sierra de Baoruco in the Dominican Republic, and ex- treme southeast Haiti (Map 8). Remarks. ‘This species has been collected from May through September by black- lighting, beating, and hand collecting from the endemic Hispaniolan pine, Pinus oc- cidentalis. Etymology.

This species can be confused only with L. viridicomus, but L. chlorescens has even more pronounced iridescent green pubescence over most of the integument. The dorsal tubercles (in particular the median and anterolaterals) are more highly elevated in L. chlorescens than in L. viridicomus. The apex of the elytron in L. chlorescens has a distinctive white macula that has anteriorly directed, fingerlike extensions. Description. Length: 8.0-12.5 mm; width: 3.0-5.0 mm. Head: Covered throughout in dense, appressed, iridescent green pubescence with some ochraceous setae along frontoclypeal and eye margins. Partially obscured, nar- row, median-frontal line, continuing on vertex; short, glabrous frontal-genal line extending from anterior tentorial pits along anterior margin of genae to base of mandible. Antenna: covered with mottled white to off-white and dark, translucent pubescence; dark annulate at apex and base of most antennomeres. Last antenno- mere mostly dark, with paler hairs at middle in some specimens. Antennae longer than body in both males and females, typically extending beyond elytral apices by 4-5 antennomeres. In both sexes, last antennomere slightly shorter than penulti- mate. Antennal scape extending to posterior 1/4 of pronotum.

Labrum with sparse white or off-white pubescence with 8-10 longer, suberect, translucent setae. Thorax: Pronotum with prominent, narrowly rounded to subacute lateral tu- bercles with greatest projection slightly behind middle; mostly prominently raised dorsal tubercles with following arrangement: very large, partially denuded, highly projecting oval tubercle at middle, two smaller but as highly elevated anterolateral tubercles (sometimes partially denuded), and two weakly elevated posterolateral tu- bercles. Pronotum with slight anteromedial elevation at margin. Pronotum mostly 38 Steven W. Lingafelter & Charyn J. Micheli / ZooKeys 17: 1-55 (2009) covered in appressed, iridescent green pubescence but with very small, indistinct patches of dark brown to black pubescence in following arrangement: at basal mar- gin, on each side between antero- and posterolateral tubercles, and at anterior margin on each side in front of anterolateral tubercles. Pronotum with slight constriction before anterior and posterior margins, constrictions (particularly posteriorly) lined with row of separate, large punctures. Smaller punctures scattered over pronotal disk, some obscured by pubescence. Prosternum smooth, impunctate, covered with uni- form, appressed, off-white or pale ochraceous pubescence. Prosternal process mod- erately broad between procoxae, slightly less than 2/3 width of procoxa. Scutellum moderately pubescent with iridescent green setae at middle and dark brown to black setae on lateral margins (and adjacent elytra); subtriangular, narrowly rounded to subacute posteriorly. Mesosternum smooth, impunctate, covered with uniform, ap- pressed, off-white or pale ochraceous pubescence, unlike most species, equally dense Leptostylopsis chlorescens ay Leptostylopsis puntacanaensis Lingafelter & Micheli 2 Lingafelter & Micheli Leptostylopsis humerofulvus Lingafelter & Micheli Maps 9-10.

Mesosternal process between mesocoxae broad, separating mesocoxae by about width of mesocoxa. Metasternum and lateral thoracic sclerites covered with appressed, mottled off-white or pale ochraceous and iridescent green pubescence. Elytra: covered with appressed, mostly iridescent green pubescence with very small, scattered white and ochraceous pubescent patches par- ticularly along suture, apical margin, and atop costal tubercles. Black pubescence on some elytral tubercles, along margins near scutellum, and in small apicolateral macula. White pubescence forming small apical macula with three elongate finger- like projections directed anteriorly along costae. Tubercles at base of elytra most prominent, forming moderate crests. Humeri moderately projecting, anterior mar- gin lacking black macula. Epipleuron with pronounced iridescent green pubescence. Elytral apex subtruncate, with outer apical angle more produced posteriorly than sutural angle. Legs: mostly uniformly pubescent with combination of appressed, iri- descent green and white pubescence, somewhat mottled; middle and base of tibiae with incomplete annulae of white pubescence. Tibiae approximately equal in length to femora; hind legs much longer than forelegs; metafemora extending to about abdominal apex. Tarsi sparsely coated with short, appressed, white or pale green pubescence; apices not appreciably darker than bases. Abdomen: Ventrites covered with mottled, appressed, off-white or pale ochraceous and iridescent green pubescence. Fifth ventrite of females about 2.4 x broader than long, narrowed and extended at middle, with a glabrous midline at base extending toward apex for 1/3 or more of overall length. Distribution. This very rare species is known only from the Sierra de Baoruco region in southwestern Dominican Republic (Map 9). Remarks. All three known specimens were collected by beating at a tree fall in July. Etymology. ‘The name is a modified Latin adjective referring to the greenish color of the pubescence over most of the integument.

This species is easily recognized by the mostly uniform, ochraceous pubes- cence on the pronotum and basal 1/5 of the elytra, the small, postmedial black macula near the elytral suture, the transversely truncate elytral apices, and the pronotum with very weak, rounded lateral tubercles. Other unique features of this species are the an- tennal scape that lacks a distinct apical, dark annula, and upper eye lobes which are very close together. 40 Steven W. Lingafelter & Charyn J.

The genus Leptostylopsis of Hispaniola (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Acanthocinini) 4] Leptostylopsis annulipes is similar in having distinct castaneous pubescence on the pronotum and elytral base, but this pubescence is less extensive than in L. umerof- ulvus. Furthermore, L. annulipes has a darker scutellum with dark patches on either side whereas in L. humerofulvus the scutellum is more similarly colored to the adjacent elytra. Also, L. humerofulvus usually lacks a dark subhumeral basal black spot which is present in L. annulipes and L. milleri. Description. Length: 7.5-12.0 mm; width: 3.0-4.5 mm. Head: Covered throughout in dense, appressed, mottled tawny, white, and ochr- aceous pubescence, with exception of narrow, median-frontal line extending from fronto-clypeal margin to between lower eye lobes and short, glabrous frontal-genal line extending from anterior tentorial pits along anterior margin of genae, to base of mandible. Pubescence on frons and vertex much finer than that on genae. Antenna: covered with dense, appressed, mottled white, tawny, and dark brown pubescence; annulate at apex and base of most antennomeres with exception of scape and usu- ally antennomeres 2 and 3. Last antennomere uniformly dark in females, without annulae, similar in color to apex of penultimate antennomere; in males, antennae uniformly light or slightly paler at base than apex. Antennae long; typically extending beyond apices by 5-6 antennomeres in males and 4-5 in females. In both sexes, last antennomere shorter than penultimate. Antennal scape extending to posterior 1/3 of pronotum. Eye: lower eye lobe slightly less than height of gena below it; over 2 x height of upper eye lobe; lobes connected by 5-6 rows of ommatidia in most speci- mens. Upper eye lobes very close together, separated by much less than greatest width of scape. Mouthparts: frontoclypeal margin with fringe of short pubescence extending about halfway to base of labrum; clypeus without pubescence except at extreme base. Labrum covered with short, mostly appressed, white or ochraceous pubescence with 8-10 long, suberect, translucent setae. Thorax: Pronotum with very slightly protuberant, broadly rounded lateral mar- gins with greatest projection at middle; weakly raised dorsal tubercles with following arrangement: oval, partially denuded prominence at middle, surrounded by four weakly elevated tubercles (two anterolateral and two posterolateral). Pronotum with- out significant anteromedial elevation at margins. Pronotum mostly covered in ap- pressed, ochraceous pubescence (and to a lesser extent, white pubescence), median region darker due to combination of translucent and less dense pubescence reveal- ing dark brown integument. In some specimens, darker central region with some iridescent green pubescence. Pronotum with moderate constriction before anterior and posterior margins, constrictions (particularly posteriorly) lined with row of sepa- rate, large punctures. Smaller punctures scattered over pronotal disk, some obscured by pubescence. Prosternum smooth, impunctate, covered with uniform, appressed, ochraceous or tawny pubescence. Prosternal process very broad between procoxae, about equal to width of procoxa in most specimens. Scutellum moderately to densely tawny or ochraceous pubescent (occasionally with white pubescence at apex); broad- ly rounded posteriorly. Mesosternum smooth, impunctate, covered with uniform, appressed pubescence, nearly as dense on anterior 1/3 which is deeply constricted. 42 Steven W. Lingafelter & Charyn J. Micheli / ZooKeys 17: 1-55 (2009) Mesosternal process between mesocoxae broad, separating mesocoxae by about 1.2 x width of mesocoxa. Metasternum and lateral thoracic sclerites covered with mottled, appressed, white and ochraceous pubescence. Elytra: covered with combination of mostly appressed, ochraceous, white, tawny, iridescent green, and black pubescence. Ochraceous pubescence of same color as pronotum forms distinct band on basal 1/5 of elytra. Darker, often triangular region of sparser, more translucent setae behind band. Small black macula near suture postmedially. Elytral margin dark along scutel- lum. Rows of small, ochraceous pubescent tubercles generally along costae, absent along suture. Tubercles at base of elytra most prominent. Humeri projecting very slightly, with dark basal margin, without distinct macula. Epipleuron dark brown at anterior 1/2, with ochraceous pubescence at apical 1/2. Elytral apex transversely truncate, with outer apical angle equally or less produced posteriorly than sutural an- gle. Legs: mostly uniformly pubescent with appressed hairs (white, tawny, and ochra- ceous), somewhat mottled; apex and basal 1/3 of tibiae annulate due to less dense pubescence exposing darker integument. Tibiae approximately equal in length to femora; hind legs much longer than forelegs; metafemora extending to about middle of ventrite 5. Base of tarsomeres generally covered with short, appressed pubescence similar in color to remainder of legs; apex of fifth tarsomere (and sometimes 1 and 2) sparsely pubescent, dark. Abdomen: Ventrites covered with mottled, appressed, off-white and ochraceous pubescence. Fifth ventrite of females about 2 x as broad as long; weakly narrowed or extended at middle, with glabrous midline at base, extending toward apex for 1/3 or more of overall length. Distribution. Endemic to Hispaniola, this species is known only from the Cordill- era Central and Barahona Peninsula of the Dominican Republic (Map 10). Remarks. ‘This species has been collected from June through August by blacklight- ing, beating at a tree fall, and sampling from dead tree trunks and large branches. Etymology. ‘The name is a compound Latin noun that refers to the fulvous elytral base.

This species is easily recognized among Hispaniolan Leptostylopsis by the very long antennae and the presence of white or ochraceous pubescence over most of body, combined with a dark middle macula on the pronotum and a series of black maculae on the epipleuron and postmedially on the elytra. Other characters that dis- tinguish it from similar species include the weak tubercles on the pronotum, the dark, unicolorous tarsi, and the angulate elytral apex. Leptostylopsis longicornis (Fisher), known only from Puerto Rico, is very similar to L. perfasciatus, however, the former has much longer antennae, lacks the epipleural black macula extending onto the elytral disk, and has a small, transverse black macula near the suture, just postmedially, which is absent in L. perfasciatus.

Elytral apex subtruncate, with outer apical angle more produced posteriorly than sutural angle. Legs: mostly uniformly white pubescent with appressed hairs, somewhat mottled; apex and basal 1/3 of tibiae annulate due to less dense and translucent pubescence exposing darker integument. Hind legs much longer than forelegs; metafemora extending to about abdominal apex. Tarsomeres 1 and 2 generally covered with short, appressed, white pubescence; remaining tarsomeres sparsely pubescent and dark. Abdomen: Ventrites covered with appressed, white or off-white pubescence. Fifth ventrite much broader than long in males, and slightly notched at middle (females unknown). Distribution. This rare species is known from two specimens collected at Punta Cana in extreme eastern Dominican Republic (Map 9). Remarks. One specimen was obtained by beating in June and the other was at- tracted to lights in July. Etymology. The name is a latinized adjective referring to the eastern Dominican Republic locality where this species was collected.

This species is most similar to L. viridicomus, but is recognized by the bold, undulating, transverse white macula on the apical 1/4 of the elytra. The sparse, white pubescence with a greenish tinge (less iridescent green than in L. viridicomus) over much of the head, pronotum, and elytra is also distinctive. Other distinctive characters include the short pronotum with subacute lateral tubercles and the narrowly rounded to subacute scutellum. Description. Length: 7.0-11.0 mm; width: 3.0-4.0 mm. Head: Covered throughout in dense, appressed, mottled off-white or pale ochra- ceous pubescence with slight greenish tinge. Small patch of iridescent green pubes- cence at middle of head between lower eye lobes in most specimens. Narrow, median- frontal line from fronto-clypeal margin to between lower eye lobes, continuing along vertex. Short, glabrous frontal-genal line extending from anterior tentorial pits along anterior margin of genae to base of mandible. Antenna: covered with dense, appressed, mottled white, off-white, and dark brown pubescence; dark annulate at apex and base of most antennomeres. Last antennomere uniformly dark in most specimens, without annulae, similar in color to apex of penultimate antennomere.

Upper eye lobes separated by about greatest width of scape. Mouth- parts: frontoclypeal margin with fringe of short off-white pubescence extending about halfway to base of labrum (but longer at sides); clypeus without pubescence except at extreme base. Labrum covered with dense, short white or off-white pubescence with 8-10 long, suberect, translucent setae. Thorax: Pronotum with very protuberant, subacute lateral tubercles with great- est projection at or slightly behind middle; weakly raised dorsal tubercles of follow- ing arrangement: large oval prominence at middle, slightly denuded of pubescence, surrounded by four smaller tubercles (two anterolateral and two posterolateral). Pronotum with slight anteromedial elevation at margin. Pronotum mostly covered in appressed, white or off-white pubescence with a greenish tinge. Black maculae present in following pattern: on anterolateral pronotal edge; on posterior margin at middle; at sides opposite elytral humeral base; halfway between middle and lat- eral posterior maculae. Pronotum slightly constricted before anterior and posterior margins; constrictions (particularly posteriorly) lined with row of separate, large punctures. Smaller punctures scattered over pronotal disk, some obscured by pu- bescence. Prosternum smooth, impunctate, covered with uniform, appressed, off- white pubescence with greenish tinge.

Elytra: mostly sparsely covered with pale white or translucent pubescence with a green tinge; much of reddish-brown integument exposed. Bold, undulating transverse macula of dense, white pubescence at apical 1/3, partially bordered posteriorly by black macula, two indistinct off-white or ochraceous maculae immediately behind. Rows of small tubercles with tufts of semierect, black pubescence present along costae. Tubercles at base of elytra most prominent, forming weak crests. Humeri project- ing slightly, marked at anterior margin with black macula that corresponds to small black macula on prothorax. Epipleuron with vague iridescent pale green pubescence anteriorly, white pubescence posteriorly. Elytral apex subtruncate, with outer apical angle more produced than sutural angle.
