03A6D949FF99FFDCFF6FFA65FC64B8A4.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis and remarks. Neocherentes dilloniorum can be separated from its congeners by the following combination of characters: apical 1 / 3 of elytra with punctation, mesosternal process medially flat, and mesosternum and abdominal sternites with distinct striped pattern similar to dorsal surface (Fig. 4 a, d). This species is known from a total of eight specimens (2 males, 6 females). All known specimens of this species were collected in Peru and Bolivia (Fig. 5) at relatively high elevation (1,400 − 2,558 m). Monné (2005) was the first to report this species from Bolivia, followed by Wappes et al. (2006). Lingafelter et al. (2014) provided color photographs of the holotype specimen.	en	Nearns, Eugenio H., Monné, Miguel A.

03A6D949FF9FFFDEFF6FFBE7FA29B807.taxon	etymology	Etymology. This species is named in memory of the late José Adriano Giorgi (1970 − 2018), longhorned beetle expert and friend, who will be missed. The epithet is a noun in the genitive case.	en	Nearns, Eugenio H., Monné, Miguel A. (2019): Two new species of South America Neocherentes Tippmann, 1960 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Onciderini). Insecta Mundi 2019 (699): 1-10, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.3673160
03A6D949FF9FFFDEFF6FFBE7FA29B807.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis and remarks. Neocherentes adrianoi can be separated from its congeners by the combination of the following characters: apical 1 / 3 of elytra without punctation, mesosternal process medially concave, and mesosternum and abdominal sternites with distinct striped pattern similar to dorsal surface (Fig. 4 b, e). In both N. dilloniorum and N. pergeri, the apical 1 / 3 of elytra has punctation and the mesosternal process is flat. This species is described from four specimens (one male, three females), three of which were collected in Brazil from near sea level to approximately 500 m (Fig. 5). One of the two female paratypes (NHMW) contains only a handwritten label on green paper which reads “ Shtt, ” which we believe is short for Heinrich Wilhelm Schott (1794 − 1865), Austrian botanist and royal gardener who spent many years in Brazil (1817 − 1821) collecting specimens (Antonio Santos-Silva, pers. comm.). The late Stephen Breuning recognized the Mar de Hespanha (Minas Gerais) female paratype (MNHN) as distinct from N. dilloniorum, which he labeled with the manuscript name “ Paracherentes ferruginea. ” To the best of our knowledge, this name was never published. The female holotype from Linhares (Espírito Santo) was incorrectly listed as a male N. dilloniorum by Nearns and Swift (2011), in recording a new country record for Brazil. Accordingly, N. dilloniorum is formally excluded from the Brazilian fauna.	en	Nearns, Eugenio H., Monné, Miguel A.

03A6D949FF9DFFD3FF6FFC46FE38BD20.taxon	etymology	Etymology. This species is named for our friend Robert Perger (Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia), who collected part of the type series, for his spirit of collaboration and contributions to the study of Neotropical longhorned beetles. The epithet is a noun in the genitive case.	en	Nearns, Eugenio H., Monné, Miguel A.

03A6D949FF9DFFD3FF6FFC46FE38BD20.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis and remarks. Neocherentes pergeri can easily be separated from its congeners by the metasternum and abdominal ventrites with mottled whitish-grey coloration (in N. dilloniorum and N. adrianoi, the metasternum and abdominal ventrites continue the distinct pattern found on the elytra (Fig. 4 c, f )). This species is known from four specimens (one male, three females) collected in pre-Andean Chiquitano transition forest in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia at approximately 480 m (Fig. 5). Nothing is known about the biology of this species. The allotype male of this species was recently figured in a beautifully illustrated photographic guide to longhorned beetles of Bolivia by Lingafelter et al. (2017) as N. dilloniorum.	en	Nearns, Eugenio H., Monné, Miguel A. (2019): Two new species of South America Neocherentes Tippmann, 1960 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Onciderini).
