Description
Priocera bispinosa KLUG, 1842 (Figs 82, 91, 110, 111)
Priocera bispinosa KLUG, 1842: 284.
Priocera reichei SPINOLA, 1844: 121.
Priocera dentipennis THOMSON, 1860: 50. syn.nov.
LECTOTYPE: Gender not determined. Here designated. Type locality: Brasilien (Brazil) (ZMHB). CORPORAAL 1950: 99. EKIS (now OPITZ) 1975: 20. It is not known how many specimens were available to Klug; he did not select a holotype. Therefore, I invoke Recommendation 73F of the ICZN (1999) and designate a lectotype for this nominal species.
A d d i t i o n a l m a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d (Fig. 91): In addition to the holotype, I examined 41 specimens from: Brazil: Estado do Espirito Santo, no other information provided; Estado do Bahia, no other information provided; Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, no other information available; Derrumbadas, Parque Est. Turvo, 30-X-2003, R. Ott; Estado do Santa Catarina, Mafra,?- III-1942, A Maller; Nova Teutonia,?- XI-1965, F. Plaumann; idem, 9-XII-1959, F. Plaumann; idem, 3-III-1948, F. Plaumann; Estado do Paraná, Paraná, Rio Negro,?- I-1924, M. Wilti. Specimens are deposited in: AMNH, BMNH, FMNH, MCNZ, MNHN, OXUM, SDEI, USNM, WFBM, and WOPC.
D i a g n o s i s: Cranium, antennae, thorax, and abdomen castaneous; elytra tricolorous, a mosaic of yellow and light brown in basal 1/2 followed by broad dark brown fascia and angular narrow yellow fascia, distal 1/4 th light brown; legs bicolorous, proximal 1/2 brown, distal 1/2 yellow.
R e d e s c r i p t i o n: Size: Length 17.5 mm; width 4.5 mm. Form: As in Figs 110, 111. Head: Frons wider than length of antennal pedicel; EW/FW 75/40. Thorax: Pronotum coarsely punctate, with 2 tumescenses (PW/PL 90/180); elytral disc sculptured with circular striate asetiferous punctures that extend slightly beyond elytral 1/2, elytral apex bispinous (EL/EW 410/65); metathoracic femur gradually increasing in diameter to femoral apex. Abdomen: Aedeagus as in Fig. 82
V a r i a t i o n: Size: Length 15.0-18.0 mm; width 3.8-4.5 mm. The dark brown macula on the medial 1/3 rd of the elytral disc may be replaced by a mottling of yellow and brown.
N a t u r a l h i s t o r y: Specimens were collected from March, November, and December, one at an altitude between 300- 500 m.
N o t e s: The holotype was examined, but the description is based on a homotype specimen.
