This new species is named after Miguel Ángel Morón Ríos (INECOL), for his lifetime of contributions to the knowledge of Coleoptera from Mexico, particularly Scarabaeidae .</p><p>Remarks. Derobrachus moroni belongs to the Sulcicornis species-group, characterized in males by the inner side of the protibiae with a distinct longitudinal furrow (rarely obsolete), dorsal surface of protibiae flat or almost flat throughout. By the elytral sculpture, the new species resembles D. megacles Bates, 1884, but differs mainly by the antennae surpassing elytral apex, antennomeres III and IV not dorsally sulcate, and tarsi longer and slender. In D. megacles the antennae do not reach the elytral apex, the antennomeres III and IV are dorsally sulcate, and the tarsi are short and wider, mainly protarsus. It differs from D. smithi Bates, 1892, that also has the elytra rugose, mainly by the antennomere III and IV not dorsally sulcate, and by the pronotum not coarsely rugose (mainly on disc). In D. smithi the pronotum is coarsely rugose and antennomeres III and IV are dorsally sulcate. Derobrachus moroni is somewhat similar to D. longicornis (Bates, 1872), mainly by the antennae surpassing elytral apex, but differs by the pronotum mostly glabrous (with moderately abundant setae in D. longicornis), by antennomere III smooth on basal third, and dorsally not sulcate (scabrous and sulcate in D. longicornis). It can be separated from D. agyleus Buquet, 1852, by the shape of antennomere III (scabrous and sulcate in D. agyleus). Only two species do not have the dorsal surface of antennomere III sulcate in males, as in the new species (indicated, but present on the base in D. procerus Thomson, 1861): D. digueti Lameere, 1915, and D. lingafelteri Santos-Silva, 2007 (see Bezark 2015). However, D. digueti belongs to the Brevicollis species-group (inner side of protibiae without longitudinal furrow, and dorsal surface uniformly convex), and D. lingafelteri belongs to the Apterus species-group (scutellum distinctly pubescent in males). Derobrachus moroni also differs from D. digueti as follows: elytra subopaque (shining in D. digueti), and without distinct carinae (distinctly carinate in D. digueti, mainly centrally). The new species also differs notably from D. lingafelteri by the elytra mostly glabrous, while in the latter they have short, moderately abundant setae throughout.</p><p>The type locality of this species is described as subtropical perennial forest (G. Nogueira, pers. comm.).</p><p>Derobrachus moroni can be included in the alternative of couplet “9”, from Santos-Silva (2007):</p><p>9(8).

Linsley (1934) described Aplagiognathus remotus based on two males also from Arizona (Mount Washington, 6,000 feet, near Nogales, Santa Cruz County). Skiles (1978) stated: “Southeastern Arizona, and presumably northwestern Mexico ”. The latest study with the species was by Chemsak (1996), who plotted the species in a map and recorded: “Range: Southern Arizona.”</p><p>Herein we record the species for the first time from the states of Sonora and Jalisco in Mexico. This suggests that the species occurs in other areas of Mexico.</p><p>The area in Arizona where the species occurs is defined as the “Southern Semi-Arid Highlands” (C.E.C. 1997). This ecoregion extends into Mexico reaching Northern Michoacán. Although the area where the Mexican specimen was caught in Jalisco is an ecoregion named “Temperate Sierras”, it is near to the Mexican “Southern Semi-Arid Highlands” that encompasses eastern Jalisco.</p><p>In Arizona, the females of this species are occasionally collected at lights. Males are not known to be collected at lights, however, the first author collected a male walking on the trunk of a large dead oak ( Quercus sp.) at night in Texas Canyon, Cochise County, Arizona. The specimens from Jalisco were collected in an area dominated by Quercus sp. (G. Nogueira, pers. comm.).</p><p>Material examined.

(G.) mexicana the body is wider, the largest width of the head is equal to about 1.35 times length of scape; the distance between upper ocular lobes is larger than the largest width of the scape, the anterior transverse bands of pubescence are fused and prolonged along the suture between the middle transverse bands of pubescence, and the elytral sutural spine (Fig. 13) is shorter. From E. (G.) hoegei (Bates, 1885) it mainly differs by the longer body, by the more slender protarsus, by the coarser elytral punctation, and by the wider elytral apex without a distinct spine at the outer angle. In E. (G.) hoegei the body is shorter, the protarsus are wider, the elytral punctation is finer, and the elytra is slender and with a distinct spine at the outer angle. It can be separated from E. (G.) trifasciata (Bates, 1892), (Fig. 12) mainly by the densely punctate pronotal surface (smooth or nearly so in E. (G.) trifasciata), by the lateral sides of the metasternum densely punctate (in E. (G.) trifasciata minutely punctate), and by the elytral apex not bispinose (bispinose in E. (G.) trifasciata). It differs from E. (G.) hefferni Santos-Silva &amp; Hovore, 2008, by the metasternum distinctly less pubescent centrally (uniformly pubescent in E. (G.) hefferni), by the spine at sutural angle of elytra long (short in E. (G.) hefferni), and by the meso- and metafemora slender.</p><p>The localities for this species are forests consisting mostly of Quercus sp. (G.

According to Santos-Silva &amp; Hovore (2008a), the holotype of Elytrimitatrix (Grossifemora) sauria Santos-Silva &amp; Hovore, 2008, is deposited in DHPC; and according to Santos-Silva &amp; Hovore (2007b) the holotype of Novantinoe hefferni Santos-Silva &amp; Hovore, 2007, is deposited in DHPC. However, both holotypes are deposited in CNIN.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03EB87BDFFDDFFA3FF3CEEA51EBCFA6F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
