Callideriphus grossipes signaticollis Melzer, 1934

Dept. Santa Cruz. 18°08′S / 63°45′W, 1880 m, Provincia Florida, Floripondio (west): on/flying to flowers of “Sagüintillo”, male and female, 1.XI.2009 (RCSZ).

Remarks. Wappes et al. (2006) recorded Callideriphus grossipes grossipes for Bolivia; but these speci- mens (illustrated in Wappes’ unpublished manual of Bolivian Cerambycidae ) show two males, one with wide, square, black patch on pronotal disc, the other with entirely black pronotum. The male Floripondio specimen has an irregular medium-sized patch on pronotum, the female similar to Wappes’ first (sic.) male. Napp and Martins (2002a) state that specimens with wide, black patches on the pronotum corre- spond to Callideriphus signaticollis Melzer, 1934 , which they treat as a junior synonym of Callideriphus grossipes flavipennis Melzer, 1934 . Here, the authors refrain from choosing a subspecies, or, maybe, naming a new species, for the same arguments presented below for Eryphus picticollis (Gounelle, 1911) .
