Gnomidolon ecuadorense sp. nov. is similar to G. friedi Clarke, 2007 (Figs 13–14), but differs as follows: vertex mostly glabrous; elytral apex not contrasting in color with area adjacent to it; and pro- and mesofemora dark on club, metafemora dark on dorsal and inner surface of club, and tibiae dark on basal half. In G. friedi, the vertex has somewhat abundant pubescence, the elytral apex is lighter than the area adjacent to it (variation not observed in the paratypes at our disposal and not indicated in the original description— six males and twelve females), and the femora and tibiae are light. It differs from G. proseni Martins, 1962, G. parallelum Clarke, 2007, and G. wappesi Martins, 2006 (see photographs on Bezark (2025) and in Clarke (2007)), especially by the elytra entirely dark on posterior third (apex distinctly contrasting in color with adjacent area in these three species); from G. bordoni Joly, 1991, and G. gracile (Gounelle, 1909) especially by the prothorax black (reddish in G. bordoni and G. gracile), and elytra without whitish transverse band between the anterior light and posterior dark colors (present in G. bordoni and G. gracile); from G. insigne Martins, 1967 (see photographs on Bezark 2025 and in Martins 1967) especially by the elytra without blackish area on anterior third (present in G. insigne), and mesofemoral club more distinctly pedunculate-clavate (more uniformly widened from base to apex in G. insigne); and from G. amaurum Martins, 1967 (see photographs on Bezark 2025 and in Martins 1967), especially by the mesofemora less strongly pedunculate-clavate (distinctly pedunculate-clavate in G. amaurum).</p><p>Gnomidolon ecuadorense has some features that make it difficult to include into the key to species of Gnomidolon from Martins (2006). For example, in the alternative of couplets “32” and “44” there is no good option, because the metafemoral club is not entirely dark; more importantly, it cannot be correctly included in the alternative of couplet “45,” because the head and prothorax are not reddish, nor are the head and prothorax contrasting in color. Considering the femoral clubs entirely dark and modifying the alternative of couplets “45” to “47:”</p><p>45(44).

Two paratype males, same data as holotype (JVCO) ; female paratype, same data as holotype (MZSP) .</p><p>Etymology. The specific epithet “ viridescens ” (“greenish”) refers to the color of the beetle.</p><p>Remarks. Cycnoderus (Cycnoderus) viridescens sp. nov. is similar to C. (C.) metallicus Bezark, Santos-Silva &amp; Galileo, 2016 (see photographs on Bezark 2025 and in Bezark et al. 2016), but differs as follows: elytra with abundant and moderately long pubescence dorsally; outer surface of metafemora with abundant whitish pubescence; femoral club shorter than metathoracic width; and apex of metafemora slightly surpassing elytral apex in males. In males of C. (C.) metallicus, the elytral dorsal pubescence is sparser and shorter, especially on the anterior half, the outer surface of the metafemora does not have abundant pubescence, the length of the metafemoral club is equal to metathoracic width, and the apex of the metafemora distinctly surpasses the elytral apex. The new species differs from C. (C.) chlorizans Chevrolat, 1859 (Figs 25–29), as follows: prothorax in males without differentiated sculpturing on pronotum, anterolaterally and laterally, and on sides of the prothorax (present in males of C. (C.) chlorizans); pronotal sculpturing coarser in both sexes (finer in both sexes of C. (C.) chlorizans); and metatarsomere I distinctly shorter in both sexes (longer in both sexes of C. (C.) chlorizans). It differs from C. (C.) expeditus Chevrolat, 1859 (Figs 30–31) by the pronotum in both sexes without longitudinal smooth central area (present in both sexes of C. (C.) expeditus), males without longitudinal pubescent band on sides of the pronotum (present in males of C. (C.) expeditus), and the sides of the prothorax in males without distinct subsmooth longitudinal area close to prothorax (present in males of C. (C.) expeditus); from C. (C.) rufithorax Gounelle, 1911 (Fig. 32) by the antennae in female with long antennomere XII (very short or not free in females of C. (C.) rufithorax), prothorax in males without differentiated sculpturing and pubescence on pronotum, anterolaterally and laterally, and on sides of the prothorax (present in males of C. (C.) rufithorax), and the pronotal sculpturing coarser in both sexes (finer in both sexes of C. (C.) rufithorax); and from C. (C.) wappesi Santos-Silva &amp; Tavakilian, 2023 (see photographs on Bezark 2025 and in Santos-Silva &amp; Tavakilian 2023), especially by the integument mostly metallic green (not metallic green in C. (C.) wappesi) and the prothorax in males without differentiated sculpturing on the pronotum, anterolaterally and laterally, and on the sides of the prothorax (present in males of C. (C.) wappesi).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F8722AFFF7636DF090FE26FB42FC81	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.

Remarks. Rhopalophora casignata was described based on a holotype from Ecuador (Manabí, between Jipijapa and Manta). Currently, it is also known from the Ecuadorian province of Guayas (Monné 2024a; Tavakilian &amp; Chevillotte 2025). According to the original description, the holotype (Fig. 35) is a male. However, it is a female. The true males of this species (Fig. 33) have the antennae distinctly longer. According to Napp (2009) on the antennae (translated): in males, “Antennae surpassing the elytral apex in 4.0 articles;” in females, “Antennae surpassing the elytral apex in three articles.” Still according Napp (2009), she examined one male and two females from Ecuador (Guayas, Guayaquil). The male examined by us agrees with this description of the antennal length, contradicting the original description of the species. Finally, Napp (2009) reported (translated): “ Martins &amp; Napp (1989: 62) make no mention of differentiated areas on the prosternum of the male and describe that the antennae extend beyond the elytral apex by three segments and that the metafemora extend beyond the elytral apex by one-third of the length of the club. In the male examined here, the antennae and metafemora are longer, and the prosternum presents differentiated areas, although they are not very apparent. In the two females examined, the pilosity is generally poorly preserved, which makes comparison with that of the male difficult.” Again, this description of the prosternum in the male agrees very well with the specimen examined by us.</p><p>Material examined.

Following the key to the tribes of Tropidini in Martins &amp; Galileo (2007), it should be placed in Neoibidionina, since it has the procoxal cavities open posteriorly, a cylindrical scape that is slightly and gradually thickened toward the apex, antennomere IV shorter than III and V, and in males often thickened. In this tribe, the key to the genera in Martins &amp; Galileo (2007) leads the new species to the genus Compsibidion Thomson, 1864 . However, the new species resembles some species of Pygmodeon Martins, 1970, and Heterachthes Newman, 1840 . According to Martins (2009) on Pygmodeon (translated): “Strictly speaking, this genus should belong to Ibidionina [currently Neoibidionina] because it has narrowly open procoxal cavities. Its placement in Compsina is justified by the flagellomeres and tibiae lacking carinae, and the lateral parts of the prothorax having a narrow band of pubescence at the boundary with the prosternum. These features are found only in Heterachthes, with which Pygmodeon is very similar.” These two genera were separated in the key to the genera of Compsina in Martins (2009) by the shape of the procoxal cavities: open posteriorly in Pygmodeon and closed in Heterachthes . Consequently, since the new species has the procoxal cavities open posteriorly, we rule out the possibility of including it in Heterachthes . Among the features mentioned to define Pygmodeon, Martins (2009) stated that the basal flagellomeres are imperceptibly thickened in males. However, they are distinctly thickened in the males of P. boreale Martins, 1971 (Figs 40–41). Furthermore, the opening of the procoxal cavities in the species currently included in Compsibidion is variable, being either narrow or wide, and there are species in this genus with a longitudinal band of pubescence on the sides of the prothorax along the prosternum. For example, C. paulista (Martins, 1962) and C. reichardti (Martins, 1962) have this pubescent band, less distinct in the latter and therefore, they should be transferred to Pygmodeon . However, both Pygmodeon and Compsibidion include species with very distinct features, which suggests they are polyphyletic. Therefore, we were unable to find a reliable feature that would allow the separation of Pygmodeon and Compsibidion, based on the features used by Martins &amp; Galileo (2007) and Martins (2009). For now, we are using the presence of a pubescent band on the sides of the prothorax, close to the prosternum, as a provisional feature to distinguish these two genera.</p><p>Pygmodeon incertum differs from Pygmodeon boreale (Figs 40–41) as follows: frons not distinctly vermiculate; in frontal view, lower eye lobes about 3.0 times genal length; ommatidia coarser; prothorax distinctly longer than wide; pronotum sparsely punctate; different elytral color pattern; and elytra mostly parallel-sided. In P. boreale, the frons is distinctly vermiculate, in frontal view, lower eye lobes about 1.5 times the genal length, the ommatidia are slender, more distinctly when comparing the ommatidia of upper eye lobes, the prothorax is slightly longer than wide, the pronotum is abundantly punctate, and the elytra are not parallel-sided. The elytral color pattern distinguishes this species from all others in Pygmodeon . It differs from P. mutabile (Melzer, 1935), especially by the upper eye lobes with four rows of ommatidia (three in the two males of P. mutabilis examined, four in the five females, a paratype of each sex) and by the elytral color pattern (although variable in P. mutabilis, the circum-scutellar area is always distinctly brown).</p><p>LAMIINAE Latreille, 1825</p><p>ACANTHOCININI Blanchard, 1845</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F8722AFFE96369F090FC76FDC1F8C8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Nyssodrysternum cotopaxi was described based on males and females from Ecuador (Cotopaxi, Loja, Esmeraldas, Los Ríos, and Sucumbíos) (Monné 2024b; Tavakilian &amp; Chevillotte 2025). According to Monné &amp; Tavakilian (2011), the “apex of the fifth urotergite and urosternite transversely truncate” in males, and in females the “fifth urosternite [sic, urotergite] subacute, fifth urosternite transversely truncate.” In the specimens examined, the apex of the abdominal ventrite 5 is distinctly concave in male and slightly concave in female. We believe that the original description of these structures was inaccurate. Unfortunately, the type series was destroyed in a fire, and thus it is impossible to verify these structures in the holotype and paratypes. Comparing the photograph of the female holotype (see photographs on Bezark 2025 and in Monné &amp; Tavakilian 2011) with the female we examined (Figs 54–55), it is possible to see some minor differences. For instance, the body and prothorax appear more slender in the holotype. However, we believe this is merely intraspecific variation, partially influenced by the angle of the photograph. Therefore, although the species is already known from the Ecuadorian province of Loja, we choose to illustrate a male and a female to facilitate future comparisons, which may confirm or refute our current opinion regarding their identity.</p><p>Other differences observed in the comparison with the holotype: 1) Central area of the pronotum (Figs 50, 54) with longitudinal yellowish pubescent band (absent in the holotype); and the lateral dark pubescent bands on the pronotum (Figs 50, 54) not fused posteriorly (fused in the holotype).</p><p>Material examined.

Derived from the name of the type locality (Macará) with Latin diminutive suffix “ ulus ”. Masculine gender.</p><p>Description. Male. Moderately small-sized body, not flattened (Fig. 78), stouter (Fig. 76). Head retractile. Frons (Fig. 79) not transverse, slightly trapezoidal. Eyes coarsely faceted; not divided or subdivided; distance between upper eye lobes (Fig. 80) shorter than diameter of one upper lobe. Antennae (Fig. 76) 11-segmented, distinctly longer than body; scape without apical cicatrix, not claviform; antennomere III shorter and not thicker than IV; IV slightly longer than scape and V; ventral surface of basal flagellomeres with moderately abundant erect setae. Antennal tubercles not close to each other, elevated. Prothorax (Fig. 80) distinctly wider than long; with lateral tubercles. Pronotum not widely tumid centrally; with elevated, conical tubercle on each side about middle; with slightly distinct central gibbosity. Mesoventral process wider than half width of mesocoxae. Metathorax not shortened. Elytra with strongly elevated centrobasal crest; with moderately abundant erect setae; apex distinctly wider than maximum diameter of metatarsomere I; humeri not spiniform. Femora not claviform. Metatarsomere V about as long as II–III together.</p><p>Remarks. Macarulus gen. nov. is similar to Albasor Vlasak &amp; Santos-Silva, 2025 (see photographs on Bezark 2025 and in Vlasak &amp; Santos-Silva 2025), and likewise it can be included in the alternative of couplet “19” with Paraesylacris Breuning, 1940 and Amphicnaeia Bates, 1866 in the key by Breuning (1971). Macarulus differs from Albasor as follows: body stouter; frons not transverse; prothorax with lateral tubercles; centrobasal crest of elytra strongly elevated; and elytral apex distinctly wider than maximum diameter of metatarsomere I. In Albasor, the body is slender, the frons is distinctly transverse, the prothorax does not have lateral tubercles, the centrobasal crest of the elytra is slightly elevated, and the elytral apex is about as wide as the maximum diameter of the metatarsomere I. Although the only known specimen of Albasor is a female, and the only known specimen of Macarulus is a male, these differences cannot be considered sexual dimorphism because they do not occur in other genera of Apomecynini . The new genus differs from Paraesylacris (see photographs on Bezark 2025 and in Martins &amp; Galileo 2001), by the stouter body (slender in Paraesylacris), prothorax distinctly wider and with lateral tubercles (slender and without distinct lateral tubercles in Paraesylacris), by the centrobasal crest of elytra strongly elevated (not or slightly elevated in Paraesylacris), and femora not pedunculate-clavate (pedunculate-clavate in Paraesylacris). It differs from Amphicnaeia especially by the presence of an elevated centrobasal crest on the elytra (centrobasal crest absent in Amphicnaeia).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F8722AFFDD6357F090FB6EFDC2FE15	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Male holotype from ECUADOR, Loja: Vicinity of Macará, 700 m, at UV light, 20–24 Feb 2024, J. Vlasak leg. (MZSP, formerly JVCO) .</p><p>Etymology. The specific epithet “ lobata ” (Latin, meaning having lobes) refers to the lobe-like pubescence structures on the elytra.</p><p>Remarks. Desmiphora (Desmiphora) lobata sp. nov. is similar to D. (D.) durantoni Tavakilian &amp; Néouze, 2004 (see photographs on Bezark 2025 and in Tavakilian &amp; Néouze 2004) and D. (D.) mulsa Giesbert, 1998 (see photographs on Bezark 2025 and in Giesbert, 1998), but differs as follows: upper eye lobes distinctly wider; pronotum without blackish pubescence centrally; and elytra with large, longitudinal yellow pubescent macula centrally on dorsal surface, not reaching posterior white pubescent band. In D. (D.) durantoni and D. (D.) mulsa, the upper eye lobes are distinctly narrower, the pronotum has dense blackish pubescence centrally, elytra with yellowish pubescent area on central region of dorsal surface irregular, reaching the posterior white pubescent band. Additionally, it differs from D. (D.) durantoni and D. (D.) mulsa by the apex of the abdominal ventrite 5 rounded and without a preapical tubercle. According to Tavakilian &amp; Néouze (2004), males of D. (D.) durantoni have the “Ultime ventrite du mâle doublement échancré sur le bord apical, avec un tubercule préapical saillant median, orné de soies rousses [male ultimate ventrite doubly emarginate on the apical margin, with a median, prominent preapical tubercle bearing reddish setae].” According to Giesbert (1998), on the abdominal ventrite 5 in D. (D.) mulsa: “sternite 5 not strongly convex, about as long as sternites 3 and 4 together, with the apex moderately broadly rounded, bearing small keel-like, nearly naked tubercle on middle before apex.” The general dorsal appearance and the descriptions of the abdominal ventrite 5 suggest that D. (D.) durantoni is a junior synonym of D. (D.) mulsa . The new species differs from D. (D.) chemsaki Giesbert, 1998 (see photographs on Bezark 2025 and drawing in Giesbert 1998), especially by the lack of an apical tubercle on the abdominal ventrite 5 (present in D. (D.) chemsaki), and distinct wider upper eye lobes (narrow in D. (D.) chemsaki). It differs from D. (D.) lanuginosa Breuning, 1942 (Fig. 89), especially by the upper eye lobes distinctly wider (narrow in D. (D.) lanuginosa).</p><p>Note: Due to the presence of a tubercle on apex of the abdominal ventrite 5, we suspect that D. (D.) durantoni, D. (D.) mulsa, and D. (D.) chemsaki belong to Obscenoides Nascimento &amp; Santos-Silva, 2020 .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03F8722AFFD4634DF090F886FB70FD3D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Female holotype from ECUADOR, Loja: Utuana, 2500 m, collected as pupa, 22 Feb 2024, J. Vlasak leg. (MZSP, formerly JVCO) .</p><p>Etymology. We are pleased to name this species for Jean-Philippe Roguet in recognition of his contribution to the study of Lamiinae .</p><p>Remarks. Falsamblesthis rogueti sp. nov. is similar to F. pilula Galileo &amp; Martins, 1987, but differs as follows: scape not piriform; lateral tubercles of prothorax spiniform; and thick setae on elytra longer and whitish. In F. pilula, the scape is piriform, the lateral tubercles of the prothorax are conical, and the thick setae on the elytra are shorter and dark. It differs from F. seriepilosa (Kirsch, 1889) (Figs 108–109) by the distance between upper eye lobes 2.0 times the width of one upper lobe (3.0 times in F. seriepilosa), the scape is elongated (shorter and somewhat piriform in F. seriepilosa), and the lateral tubercles of the prothorax are spiniform (conical in F. seriepilosa); from F. taeniata (Belon, 1903) especially by the elytra without dark longitudinal band laterally (present in F. taeniata); and from F. microps Martins &amp; Galileo, 1992, by the scape not clavate (clavate in F. microps), the elytral apex obliquely truncate (rounded in F. microps), and elytra with whitish and brown thick setae (only brown setae in F. microps).</p><p>Key to species of Falsamblesthis (adapted from Galileo &amp; Martins 1987)</p><p>1.

Remarks. Endybauna rapicara was described based on a male and female from the Ecuadorian province of Entre Rios (Quevedo and Pichilingue). According to the original description (translated): “Female. General coloration yellow orange. Sides of the head and prothorax, mesepimera, mesanepisterna, ventral surface of metathorax, abdomen, and hind legs brownish. Antennae dark brown; basal two-thirds of antennomere IV and the base of the following antennomeres yellowish. Frons, occiput, and a broad central area of the pronotum orange.” Based on the photograph of the holotype female (see photograph on Bezark 2025 and in Martins &amp; Galileo 1991), at least the meso- and metafemora are dark brown not brownish. In the description of the male paratype, no chromatic difference was mentioned. However, all legs in the paratype male (Fig. 14) are orangish and the scape, pedicel, and antennomere III are light brown. Furthermore, the yellowish oblique pubescent band on sides of the vertex is absent between the upper eye lobes in the paratype, while they follow toward the area between the antennal tubercles in the holotype.</p><p>We have examined three additional specimens of this species (with very similar coloration, one depicted in Figs 110–113), which show more extreme chromatic variation, but without any other morphological differences: vertex blackish from anterior margin of upper eye lobes, central area of the pronotum blackish, posterior half of elytra blackish; forelegs dark brown, except basal region of the femora; middle and hind legs entirely dark brown. Additionally, it has the light pubescent bands of the vertex as in the paratype male, but the elytral apex is narrower than the length of the antennomere XI, while in the paratype it is as long as the length of the antennomere XI .</p><p>Although this second known male is from a place in the Andean ecosystem (see introduction), and the holotype and paratype are from the Coastal ecosystem, the three localities are located west of the Andean Mountains .</p><p>Material examined.
