ABSTRACT

Synopsis of the genus Exalphus Restello, Iannuzzi & Marinoni (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae), with description of a new species and new country records. A synopsis of Exalphus Restello et al., 2001 is presented. Exalphus solangeae sp. nov. is described from Brazil (Amazonas). A key to identification with illustrations for 14 species of the genus is provided, and notes on distribution with new records are included for nine species: E. biannulatus (Aurivillius, 1921), E. calvifrons (Bates, 1872), E. colasi (Lane, 1965), E. foveatus (Marinoni & Martins, 1978), E. gounellei (Lane, 1973), E. guaraniticus (Lane, 1955), E. leuconotus (Thomson, 1860), E. malleri (Lane, 1955) and E. spilonotus Restello, Iannuzzi & Marinoni, 2001.

Keywords: Acanthoderini; geographical distribution; Insecta; Neotropical Region; taxonomy.

Exalphus Restello, Iannuzzi & Marinoni, 2001 is a genus of Lamiinae (Acanthoderini) with 15 species described from the Neotropical Region. This genus was initially proposed for 13 species previously placed in Alphus White, 1855, which differed mainly by: pronotum with transverse depression at anterior margin, elytra with basal-crests elevated, elytral punctation irregularly distributed, mesosternal process sloped on anterior half at angle of approximately 90 degrees with respect to mesosternum, and tarsomeres V bicolored. In the same work in which the genus was proposed, Restello et al. (2001) described two new species, E. confusus and E. spilonotus, both from Brazil.

The objective of this study was to describe a new species in Exalphus, to supply a key of identification for the 16 species of the genus, and to update the records of geographical distribution of the species.

We examined specimens from the following institutions: Coleção de Entomologia Pe. Jesus Santiago Moure, Departamento de Zoologia, Universidade Federal do Paraná, Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil (DZUP); Museu Nacional, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (MNRJ); Museu de Zoologia, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil (MZSP); and Coleção Entomológica, Departamento de Zoologia, Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil (UFPE). The species E. simplex (Galileo & Martins, 1998) and E. vicinus Galileo & Martins, 2003 were examined by means of photographs of their respective holotypes. New distribution records are indicated by an asterisk.

In light of the publication of the "Catalogue of the Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) of the Neotropical Region. Part I. Subfamily Cerambycinae" (Monné 2005), the references provided for each taxon are limited to the original description and papers published after 2005.

Exalphus solangeae sp. nov.

(Fig. 4)

Description. Female. Integument dark brown. Body covered with dense short yellowish-gray setae. Head with fine and inconspicuous punctation; with coarse and sparse punctation between antennal tubercles and upper ocular lobes. Frons quadrangular, convex in lateral view; with frontal suture well-marked and prolonged to occiput; covered mostly with brown setae and whitish on posterior margin of lower ocular lobes. Upper ocular lobes almost one-third of lower ocular lobes; distance between them almost two times width of lobe. Lower ocular lobes rounded; height subequal to malar area. Genae convergent toward apex.

Antennae reaching elytral apex approximately at antennomere VIII; mostly covered with white setae. Scape without scar at outer surface of apex; covered with darkbrown setae and two spots of white setae, one in median region and another in ante-apical region. Pedicel with spot of dark-brown setae on outer surface of apex. Antennomeres III–V with spot of dark-brown setae in median region (gradually narrowing toward distal antennomeres) and one ring of dark-brown setae on apex; remaining antennomeres with ring of dark-brown setae in apical region, gradually widening toward distal antennomeres; antennomeres III and IV with sparse row of straight setae on inner surface.

Prothorax rectangular, about 1.7 times wider than long; lateral tubercles acute and directed backward. Pronotum with coarse and irregular punctation; covered with white setae, denser on lateral margins, forming a line which starts near lateral tubercles and continues diagonally toward basal-crests of elytra; with one pair of elevated median tubercles with glabrous apex; with slight elevation posterolaterally to median tubercles; with slight elevation covered with brown setae on midline, situated posterior to median tubercles. Width of prosternal process almost one-third the diameter of one procoxa; longitudinally depressed, blackish on lateral mar-gins and posterior margin truncate, with projections to sides. Mesosternal process subequal in length to mesocoxa; lateral margins with pronounced tubercles and with one bend near tubercular projection of mesocoxa; posterior margin bilobed. Metasternum with one median longitudinal sulcus from posterior margin, not reaching anterior margin; anterior apex truncate; on each side, two transverse and parallel furrows near posterior margin.

Scutellum wider than long, subtriangular and with apical margin rounded; with one slight median longitudinal depression; covered with brown setae, with white setae on lateral extremities of base.

Elytra length about three times that of prothorax; with punctation gradually denser toward lateral margins; covered mainly with light brown setae and an "S"-shaped area with white setae on dorsum, growing fainter from base of elytra to apical third, surrounding scutellum and reaching basalcrests; margin of anterior half fading when compared with margin of posterior half, which is densely whitish and welldefined; apical third with one transverse line of irregular spots of brown setae that extends toward epipleura. Humeri rounded, without tubercles. Basal-crests slightly elevated, without defined tubercles, only with denser punctation. Elytral carinae slightly pronounced and without tubercles. Apical margin rounded.

Legs covered with sparse white setae. Femora and tibiae mainly covered with sparse setae, with denser areas of white setae forming well-defined transverse bands. Abdomen uniformly covered with sparse white setae. Sternite V wider than long; almost as long as length of sternites III and IV together.

Measurements (mm), female. Total length, 9.9; prothorax length, 2.3; prothorax maximum width, 3.4; elytral length, 6.4; humeral width, 3.9.

Etymology.This species is named after Dr. Dilma Solange Napp (DZUP), in recognition of her valuable support during the development of the master's study of the first author at the Universidade Federal do Paraná.

Type-material. Holotype, female, Brazil, Amazonas: Tabatinga, VIII.1978, B. Silva leg. (DZUP).

Discussion. Exalphus solangeae sp. nov. is similar to E. spilonotus in the general appearance of body and in the transverse bands of white setae on the femora and tibiae. The new species may be differentiated by the pronotum without a round macula of yellowish setae on median region, an area with white setae on the elytra fading toward the scutellum and reaching the basal-crests, and the mesosternum with lateral tubercles. Exalphus spilonotus has one dense round macula of yellowish setae in the median region of the pronotum, the area with white setae on the elytra is triangular in the apical half and fading toward the scutellum, not reaching the basalcrests, and the mesosternum lacks lateral tubercles.

Comments. Exalphus leuconotus is very similar to E. guaraniticus in the general appearance of the body and the coloration pattern of the dorsum. Some records of E. leuconotus exist from Brazil (Rondônia and Mato Grosso) and Bolivia (La Paz); however, all examined specimens that were identified as E. leuconotus from these localities actually correspond to E. guaraniticus. Therefore, here we opted to exclude the records of these three localities for this species.
