Two new species and taxonomical and geographical notes on Aegomorphus Haldeman (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae)

Abstract

Acanthoderes crocostigma Bates, 1880 is transferred to AcakyraMartins & Galileo, 1996Martins, U.R. & Galileo, M.H.M. 1996. Descrições e notas sobre Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) sul-americanos. Revista Brasileira de Zoologia, 13(2): 291-311.. Acanthoderes umbrata Bates, 1885 is synonymized with Acanthoderes purulensis Bates, 1885. Variation of the elytral pubescent pattern in Aegomorphus longitarsis (Bates, 1880) is reported, and the species is recorded for the first time from Colombia (Boyacá) and Brazil (Amazonas). The variation of the elytral pubescent pattern in Aegomorphus doctus (Bates, 1880) is reported, and the species is recorded for the first time from the Mexican state of Jalisco. We comment on the type-locality of Aegomorphus borrei (Dugès, 1885Dugès, E. 1885. Métamorphoses de l’Acanthoderes borrei Dugés. Annales de la Société Entomologique de Belgique, 29(2): 45-49.). Two new species are described from Mexico (Jalisco): Aegomorphus cunninghami and A. nogueirai.

INTRODUCTION

Currently, Aegomorphus Haldeman, 1847 includes 91 species distributed from Canada to southern South America (Bezark, 2021Bezark, L.G. 2021. A photographic Catalog of the Cerambycidae of the World. New World Cerambycidae Catalog. Available: Available: http://bezbycids.com/byciddb/wdefault.asp?w=n . Access: 15/08/2021.

). It is probable that some of those species, in fact, belong to other genera, as for example Scythropopsis Thomson, 1864. However, it is very probable that many species currently included in Acanthoderes (Acanthoderes) Audinet-Serville, 1835 belong to Aegomorphus. However, only the study of specimens of species not currently available to us may confirm our assumptions. The study of Aegomorphus is particularly difficult due to the great number of species and variations in pubescence pattern present in some species.

Here we transfer a species to AcakyraMartins & Galileo, 1996Martins, U.R. & Galileo, M.H.M. 1996. Descrições e notas sobre Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) sul-americanos. Revista Brasileira de Zoologia, 13(2): 291-311., propose the synonymy of a species, comment on the variation of the elytral pubescent pattern of two species, comment about the type-locality of a species, and describe two new species from Mexico.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Photographs were taken in the MZSP with a Canon EOS Rebel T3i DSLR camera, Canon MP-E 65 mm f/2.8 1-5X macro lens, controlled by Zerene Stacker AutoMontage software. Measurements were taken in “mm” using measuring ocular Hensoldt/Wetzlar - Mess 10 in the Leica MZ6 stereomicroscope, also used in the study of the specimens.

The collection acronyms used in the text are as follows: CNIN = Colección Nacional de Insectos, Instituto de Biología (UNAM), Mexico City, Mexico; DHCO = Daniel Heffern Collection, Houston, Texas, USA; MZSP = Museu de Zoologia, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil.

Bates (1880aBates, H.W. 1880a. New species of Acanthoderes (Coleoptera, Longicornia, family Lamiidae). The Entomologist’s Monthly Magazine, 17: 58-61.) described Acanthoderes crocostigma based on a single female from Ecuador and reported: “By the structure of the antennae, this species would belong to the genus Scleronotus, but all the other characters of the insect are those of Acanthoderes.

Martins & Galileo (1996Martins, U.R. & Galileo, M.H.M. 1996. Descrições e notas sobre Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) sul-americanos. Revista Brasileira de Zoologia, 13(2): 291-311.) described Acakyra to include their new species A. iaguara, from Colombia. The authors characterized Acakyra based especially on antennomere III tumid apically, without tuft of long setae, antennomere IV without modifications, the remaining antennomeres very short, and by the absence of dorsal carina on the elytra. Later, Martins & Galileo (2001Martins, U.R. & Galileo, M.H.M. 2001. Duas espécies novas do gênero Acakyra Martins & Galileo, 1996 (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae, Acanthoderini). Revista Brasileira de Entomologia, 45(2): 103-105.) described A. nigrofasciata and A. laterialba, and Chemsak & Hovore (2002Chemsak, J.A. & Hovore, F.T. 2002. New Mexican and Central American species of Acanthoderini with notes on others, Part II (continued). (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae). Les Cahiers Magellanes, 16: 1-26.) described A. ocellata ocellata, and A. ocellata onca. The three later species (see photographs on Bezark, 2021Bezark, L.G. 2021. A photographic Catalog of the Cerambycidae of the World. New World Cerambycidae Catalog. Available: Available: http://bezbycids.com/byciddb/wdefault.asp?w=n . Access: 15/08/2021.

) have a centrobasal crest and moderately distinct elytral carina. Therefore, the only reliable feature, allowing recognition of species of Acakyra, is the distinctly short length of antennomeres V-VII, a feature not present in Aegomorphus. As Acanthoderes crocostigma has these antennomeres distinctly short, the species is herein transferred to Acakyra. The general appearance of A. crocostigma is similar to that of A. iaguara, A. ocellata ocellata and A. ocellata onca.

Bates (1885Bates, H.W. 1885. Biologia Centrali-Americana, Insecta, Coleoptera, suppl. to Longicornia. London. v. 5, p. 249-436.) described Acanthoderes purulensis as follows (translated): “Similar to Acanthoderes lugens [currently, Scythropopsis lugens (Thomson, 1865)]. Triangular-oblong, brownish black, grayish-white and brownish-gray pubescent; frons white; thorax dorsally with well-elevated compressed-conical carinae [tubercles], indented on apex; elytral apex narrowed, sinuous-truncate, outer angle slightly projected, dorsal carinae flexuous, elevated, and granulated toward base, the entire base and humeri sparsely granulated, with large oblique humeral macula and sutural area grayish-white or grayish, with small fuscous spots; posterior area of prosternal process and apex [base] subvertical, bituberculate; antennae black with white rings, antennomere III and IV together as long as V-IX. Length, 13.8-14.80 mm. From Guatemala, Purula [= Purulhá, Baja Verapaz] (Champion [leg.]). Three examples.”

In the same work and page, Bates (1885Bates, H.W. 1885. Biologia Centrali-Americana, Insecta, Coleoptera, suppl. to Longicornia. London. v. 5, p. 249-436.) described Acanthoderes umbrata as follows (translated): “Similar to A. lateralis. Short, dark fulvous; with dark area on sides of thorax; elytra with dark areas, two oblique and very dentate bands (one laterally about middle, another apically), and small spots close to suture; dorsal tubercles of thorax compressed-conical, apex bituberculate; elytra triangular, apex truncate, with long spine on outer angle, dorsal carina very divergent toward base and elevated, multituberculate, base with sparse, nearly absent granules; antennae short, antennomeres III and IV together as long as V-IX; pro- and mesosternum [processes] vertical, bituberculate. Length, 10.60-14.85 mm. From Guatemala, Cerro Zunil [Volcán Zunil, Quezaltenango] (Champion leg.). Many examples.”

Reading the original descriptions, and seeing photographs of the types of both species, it is very difficult to understand why Bates (1885Bates, H.W. 1885. Biologia Centrali-Americana, Insecta, Coleoptera, suppl. to Longicornia. London. v. 5, p. 249-436.) did not compare the two species to each other. The only reliable difference is the shape of the outer elytral angle, which is distinctly spiniform in A. umbrata (Fig. 1D-1E), and not spiniform in A. purulensis (Fig. 1B-1C). However, we believe that this is only a specific variation. In fact, this type of variation also occurs in other species of the genus, as for example, in Aegomorphus jaspideus (Germar, 1823) (Fig. 1F-1I). Therefore, we synonymize Acanthoderes umbrata with Acanthoderes purulensis.

Given that Acanthoderes purulensis and Acanthoderes umbrata were described in the same work (Bates, 1885Bates, H.W. 1885. Biologia Centrali-Americana, Insecta, Coleoptera, suppl. to Longicornia. London. v. 5, p. 249-436.) and in this case the principle of priority does not apply, we, as first revisers, select the name Acanthoderes purulensis Bates, 1885 as the valid name.

The general appearance of this species is very similar to that of Scythropopsis sallei (Thomson, 1865), but it differs by the lateral tubercles of the pronotum at least slightly bifid apically (simple in S. sallei). It is possible that Aegomorphus umbratus belongs to Scythropopsis Thomson, 1864. However, without seeing the size of the ommatidia, it is not possible to be sure.

The Entomologist’s Monthly Magazine, 17: 58-61.) described Acanthoderes longitarsis based on a single male from Ecuador. The holotype, as well as other specimens, does not have irregular yellow maculae on the elytra (Fig. 2B), which is a common variation in the species (Fig. 2A). Currently, the species is known from Ecuador and Peru (Monné, 2021Monné, M.A. 2021. Catalogue of the Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) of the Neotropical region. Part I. Subfamily Cerambycinae.

Bates (1880bBates, H.W. 1880b. Biologia Centrali-Americana, Insecta, Coleoptera. London. v. 5, p. 17-152.) described Acanthoderes doctus based on a single female from Mexico (Oaxaca) as follows (translated): “Elongate, convex, dark gray, elytra black punctate, with grayish band before middle, M-shaped black band after middle, and A-shaped black band near apex; antennae and legs dark reddish, ringed with dark flesh-colored bands, those bands linear in the apical segments; frons wide, flat, expanded toward anterior region; vertex with two black macula; thorax with large tubercles laterally and dorsally (their apices very acute); sides of prothorax coarsely punctate until coxae; elytral apex short, transversely sinuous-truncate; elytra with obtuse carina, arched and elevated basally, punctures sparse, with black setae, basally tuberculate; mesoventral process bituberculate; legs with long setae. Length 18 mm. Female.”

As usual in species of this genus, Aegomorphus doctus has a great morphological variation, which is possible to see by comparing a specimen from Mexico (Jalisco) (Fig. 2C), with the holotype (Fig. 2G), and a specimen photographed by Jesus Santiago Moure in the 1970s (Fig. 2H). Comparing those three specimens we can list the following variations:

  1. Black longitudinal band on each side of the pronotum not reaching posterior margin (Fig. 2C) (or reaching, Fig. 2G-2H);

  2. Small yellowish-white pubescent macula close to black longitudinal band on each side of the pronotum present (Fig. 2C) (absent, Fig. 2G-2H);

  3. Large oblique pubescent band on anterior half of the elytra well-defined and grayish-white and not partially surrounded by yellow pubescence (Fig. 2G-2H) (fragmented, whitish, and partially surrounded by yellow pubescence, Fig. 1C);

  4. Black pubescent macula close to superior margin of the oblique grayish-white pubescent band proportionally slender (Fig. 2G-2H) (proportionally wide, Fig. 2C);

  5. Elytra with subtriangular black pubescent macula near scutellum (Fig. 2C) (almost absent, Fig. 2G-2H);

  6. Elytra with narrow, inverted L-shaped white pubescent band on anterior third, surrounded by yellow pubescence (Fig. 2C) (absent, Fig. 2G-2H);

  7. Zigzag black pubescent band of the holotype (M-shaped according to Bates) entire (Fig. 2G), fragmented (Fig. 2C), or V-shaped (Fig. 2H);

  8. Inverted V-shaped black pubescent macula near apex of the elytra (A-shaped according to Bates) absent (Fig. 2H) or present (Fig. 2G), or fragmented (Fig. 2C);

  9. Elytral carinae present but slightly distinct (Fig. 2C) or more distinct (Fig. 2G-2H).

Aegomorphus doctus can be recognized by the wide frons expanded toward clypeus, antennomeres V and VI biannulate on anterior half, and presence of zigzag black pubescent band after middle of the elytra. Currently, the species is known from Mexico (Oaxaca) (Monné, 2021Monné, M.A. 2021. Catalogue of the Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) of the Neotropical region. Part I. Subfamily Cerambycinae.

Dugès (1885Dugès, E. 1885. Métamorphoses de l’Acanthoderes borrei Dugés. Annales de la Société Entomologique de Belgique, 29(2): 45-49.) described Acanthoderes borrei based on syntypes (immatures and imagoes), and Bates (1885Bates, H.W. 1885. Biologia Centrali-Americana, Insecta, Coleoptera, suppl. to Longicornia. London. v. 5, p. 249-436.) reported the species from “Mexico, Guanajuato (Dugès).” Guanajuato was the Mexican state where Eugenio Romain Delsescautz Dugès lived (Lameere 1885Lameere, A.A. 1885. Liste des membres de la Société Entomologique de Belgique. Bulletin de la Société Entomologique de Belgique, 1885: I-CCIII.: CXC). However, although it is evident that the specimens were collected in Mexico, Dugès (1885Dugès, E. 1885. Métamorphoses de l’Acanthoderes borrei Dugés. Annales de la Société Entomologique de Belgique, 29(2): 45-49.) did not report the location or even the country. Monné (2021Monné, M.A. 2021.

) reported the type locality as Mexico, without further details, but Tavakilian & Chevillotte (2021Tavakilian, G.L. & Chevillotte, H. 2021. Titan: base de données internationales sur les Cerambycidae ou Longicornes. Version 3.0. Available: Available: http://titan.gbif.fr . Access: 20/08/2021.

) reported Mexico, Guanajuato, Tupátaro.

According to Zaragoza-Caballero (1999Zaragoza-Caballero, S. 1999. Eugenio Dugès: un precursor de la entomología en México. Dugesiana, 6(2): 1-26.) (translated): “On the death of Eugenio Dugès (1895), Manuel Villada fully rescued Dugès’s collection and manuscripts for the National Museum of Natural History, located in Mexico City. The National Museum of Natural History with all its collections was part of the Office of Biological Studies, where the collection was not properly maintained and much of it was destroyed. The remains of the collections became part of the university heritage in July 1929, when university autonomy was decreed. The Institute of Biology, instituted on the same date as the university autonomy, rescued only 960 specimens of the old collection formed and classified by Dugès that included, according to this author, 745 new species…” Zaragoza-Caballero (1999) listed Acanthoderes borrei, but only as mentioned by Blackwelder (1946Blackwelder, R.E. 1946. Checklist of the coleopterous insects of Mexico, Central America, the West Indies and South America. Part 4. Bulletin of the United States National Museum, 185: 551-763.), and not as present at the “Colección Nacional de Insectos (CNIN) Instituto de Biología, UNAM.” Therefore, probably the syntypes are part of the material destroyed. The type-locality of A. borrei can only be established by inference.

Remarks: The general appearance of Aegomorphus cunninghami sp. nov., resembles several species currently included in Aegomorphus, Acanthoderes (Acanthoderes) Audinet-Serville, 1835, and Scythropopsis, especially due to the elytral pubescence. It differs from males of A. chamelae Chemsak & Giesbert, 1986 (see photographs of the on Bezark, 2021Bezark, L.G. 2021. A photographic Catalog of the Cerambycidae of the World.

), by the antennomeres III and IV slender and longer (shorter and thicker in males of A. chamelae), prothorax proportionally smaller, shorter than basal width of the elytron (proportionally larger, about as long as basal width of the elytron in males of A. chamelae), and absence of large white pubescent band on posterior quarter of the elytra (present in A. chamelae). The new species differs from A. maccartyi (Chemsak & Hovore, 2002Chemsak, J.A. & Hovore, F.T. 2002. New Mexican and Central American species of Acanthoderini with notes on others, Part II (continued). (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae). Les Cahiers Magellanes, 16: 1-26.)

http://bezbycids.com/byciddb/wdefault.as...
), by the elytral setae on the ventral surface of the antennae and tibiae sparser and shorter (more abundant and longer in A. maccartyi), elytral erect setae sparser (moderately abundant in A. maccartyi), and by the prothorax proportionally smaller (larger in males of A. maccartyi). It differs from A. quadrigibbus (Say, 1831), by the distance between upper eye lobes shorter (Fig. 3E) (wider in A. quadrigibbus - Fig. 3G), and by the lower eye lobes distinctly larger (Fig. 3D) (smaller in A. quadrigibbus - Fig. 3H). Aegomorphus cunninghami differs from A. ramirezi (Chemsak & Hovore, 2002Chemsak, J.A. & Hovore, F.T. 2002.

It can be separated from A. penrosei (Chemsak & Hovore, 2002Chemsak, J.A. & Hovore, F.T. 2002. New Mexican and Central American species of Acanthoderini with notes on others, Part II (continued).

), especially by the body (Fig. 3A) slender (stouter in A. albosignus), distance between upper eye lobes shorter (Fig. 3E) (wider in A. albosignus - Fig. 3F), and absence of large area with white pubescence on the elytra (present in A. albosignus). It can be separated from A. circumflexus (Jacquelin du Val, 1857), especially by the lower eye lobes distinctly larger (Fig. 3D) (smaller in A. circumflexus - Fig. 3I). From A. borrei (Dugès, 1885Dugès, E. 1885. Métamorphoses de l’Acanthoderes borrei Dugés. Annales de la Société Entomologique de Belgique, 29(2): 45-49.) it differs by the absence of large continuous area with white pubescence (present in A. borrei). The new species also resembles some species currently placed in Acanthoderes (Acanthoderes) (see photographs on Bezark, 2021Bezark, L.G. 2021. A photographic Catalog of the Cerambycidae of the World.

). It differs from A. antonkozlovi by the distance between upper eye lobes distinctly wider than width of one lobe (about as wide as one lobe in A. antonkozlovi), pronotal pubescence mostly yellowish-brown (mostly whitish in A. antonkozlovi), and different elytral pubescent pattern; from A. arizonicus by the antennomeres V and VI without central pubescent ring (present in A. arizonicus), distance between upper eye lobes about as wide as maximum width of the scape (distinctly wider than maximum width of the scape in A. arizonicus), and different elytral pubescent pattern; from A. chamelae by the antennomere III distinctly longer than prothoracic length in male (about as long in male of A. chamelae), and different elytral pubescent pattern; from A. galapagoensis williamsi, A. galapagoensis galapagoensis, and A. galapagoensis vonhageni by the different elytral pubescent pattern, with central dark band descending from sides to suture (ascending from sides to suture in the three subspecies of A. galapagoensis); from A. maccartyi by the distance between upper eye lobes about as wide as maximum width of the scape in both sexes (distinctly wider than maximum width of the scape in A. maccartyi), anterior area of the mesoventral process not distinctly concave (Fig. 4E) (distinctly concave in A. maccartyi - Fig. 4H), and different elytral pubescent pattern; from A. piperatus by the elytral punctation distinctly sparser (denser in A. piperatus), and different elytral pubescent pattern; finally, it differs from A. wappesi by the pubescence on head and pronotum sparser and mostly darker (denser and lighter in A. wappesi), and different elytral pubescent pattern. The general appearance is also slightly similar to that of A. robustus Santos-Silva, Botero & Wappes, 2020, but differs by the distance between upper eye lobes about as wide as maximum diameter of the scape (distinctly wider in A. robustus), and by the central area of the mesoventral process slightly longitudinally elevated (Fig. 4E) (distinctly elevated in A. robustus - Fig. 4I).
