Female specimens may be identified by the ornate configuration of the distal margin of the visible abdominal sternite V (Fig. 67). The configuration of the phallus will identify the males of this species (Fig. 55). Description. Size. Length 12.0 mm; width 3.0 mm. Form. As in Fig. 118. Color. Cranium bicolorous, venter castaneous, frons and epicranium testaceous; antenna testaceous; prothorax bicolorous, venter and pronotal sides dark castaneous, center of disc testaceous; pterothorax, legs, and abdomen dark castaneous, except tarsi flavotestaceous; elytra bicolorous, humeral angle and epipleural margin brown, disc with faintly visible marking at middle and transverse fascia before apex. Head. Cranium finely punctate, frons wider than length of antennal pedicel; EW/FW 50/30. Thorax. Pronotum finely punctate, with 2 tumescences, concave at middle; PW/PL 130/165; elytra, asetiferous punctures not striate, punctures extend to elytral apical 4⁄5, interstitial spaces very wide; EL/EW 525/90. Abdomen. Female pygidium trilobed along distal margin, female visible abdominal sternite VI narrows in distal ½, and visible abdominal sternite V emarginated twice (Fig. 67); aedeagus (Fig. 55), phallobasic lobes short and narrow, nearly contiguous; phallic plates serrate subapically; phallobasic apodeme abbreviated. Variation. Size. Length 6.0–9.0 mm; width 1.3–2.0 mm. The brown markings on the elytral disc vary in prominence. Natural history. The Bolivian specimens were collected during January, February, October and December at altitudes that range from 1,350 –1,730 m. Those from Brazil were obtained during January, June, September, November, and December, some at 400 m. Argentinean specimens were captured during January, February, April, August, and October, at altitudes that range from 500–1,700 m, some in a Malaise trap and some with an ultraviolet light set in a subtropical humid forest. From Paraguay specimens were gathered during June and July. Distribution (for map see Fig. 72). This species is known from Bolivia, Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay. Etymology. The specific epithet, trinalis, is a Latin noun with the meaning of “three”. I refer to the tripartite character of the distal margin of the female pygidium. fortipes species group The members of this group are characterized by having a spine at the base of the phallobasic lobes. The geographic distribution of the six species of this group involves Bolivia, Brazil, and Argentina.Published as part of Opitz, Weston, 2020, Taxonomic revision of the Western Hemisphere checkered beetle genus Axina Kirby (Coleoptera: Cleridae: Clerinae), pp. 1-70 in Insecta Mundi 2020 (793) on pages 36-37, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.456494
Ambonoides caraguata OPITZ 2015, nov. sp.
No full textAmbonoides caraguata OPITZ nov. sp. (Figs 63, 111, 112, 146, 175) Holotype: ♀. Rio Caraguatá, M. Grosso, Brasil, XII:8: 1953, 21°48'; 52°27', 400 m, F. Plaumann (FMNH). Paratypes: Two specimens. Brazil, Rio Caraguatá: 17-VIII-1953, 21°48' 52°27', Fritz Plaumann (FMNH, 1); idem, 31-VIII-1953, 21°48' 52°27', F. Plaumann (WOPC, 1). Diagnosis: The members of this species resemble superficially those of Ambonoides retinoides. However, in A. caraguata specimens the legs are bicolored, whereas in specimens of retinoides the legs are entirely black. Description: Size: Length 7.0 mm; width 2.0 mm. Form: As in Fig. 146. Color: Cranium mostly black, lower frons and clypeus flavotestaceous; pronotum mostly black, upper sides, anterior margin, and small anterior wedged-shaped macula flavotestaceous; elytral disc mostly black, with midelytral flavotestaceous fascia, humeral angle faintly testaceous. Head: Antennal capitulum very long (Fig. 63), each capitular antennomeres nearly as long as combined length funicular antennomeres; antennal carina very prominent; EW/FW 10/15. Thorax: Pronotal anterior margin not projected at middle, sides of disc depressed; side margin of disc rounded; PW/PL 38/38; elytra rectangular, sides sharply deflexed; EL/EW 165/33. Abdomen: Male pygidium not incised at distal margin; aedeagus as in Figs. 111, 112, tegminal lobes acuminate, phallic apex particularly elongate. Natural history: Specimens were collected during August. Variation: Size: length 6.0-7.0 mm; width 1.5-2.0 mm. The elytra may be entirely black, or flavotestaceous in elytral basal half and black in remainder. Distribution (Fig. 175): This species is known only from the type locality. Etymology: The trivial name, caraguata, constitutes a noun in apposition and refers to the type locality.Published as part of Opitz, Weston, 2015, Systematics of the checkered beetle subfamily Platynopterinae SPINOLA (Coleoptera Cleridae), pp. 1513-1572 in Linzer biologische Beiträge 47 (2) on page 1524, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.528250
