Key to the species of Trachelissa

1. Elytra with two pairs of elevated, rounded or oval eburneous callosities...........................................2

- Maculae on elytra, when present, indistinct and not elevated or arranged in eburneous rows..........................3

2(1). Body covered with long whitish setae; elytra brownish red with two pairs of eburneous callosities, one rounded pair in median region and one oval pair near suture on apical third; surface of elytra with distinct coarse and confluent punctation; apical antennal segments, in males, expanded and serrated. Brazil (Goiás, Bahia). Figs 133, 134 .... T. rugosipennis Gounelle, 1911

- Body with short, non-evident setae; elytra with two pairs of irregular eburneous callosities, very close to each other in median region; these callosities continue in eburneous lines that do not reach the elytral apices; surface of elytra almost smooth with sparse fine punctures; apical antennal segments, in males, filiform. Bolivia (Santa Cruz). Figs 135, 136 ..... T. bella sp. nov.

3(1). Prothorax, in male, with dense matte sexual punctation, contrasting with rest of body; antennae barely exceeding elytral apices; antennomere XII about 1/3 length of antennomere III; outer margin of segments, in females, slightly expanding to apex and rounded, more evident in antennomeres III–V; elytra with fine dense punctures. Argentina (Córdoba, Santa Fé, Mendoza). Figs 137–140 ............................................................................ T. opaca sp. nov.

- Prothorax without matte appearance, similar to body; male antennae longer than in females, exceeding elytral apices by antennomeres VIII or IX; antennomere XII half or 2/3 length of antennomere III; female antennae distinctly serrated; elytra with sparse punctures. Figs 122–132 , 141–152.................................................................. 4

4 (3). Prothorax subparallel at sides, with or without pair of slightly antemedian tubercles; pronotum, in general, unicolored or with longitudinal black bands. Brazil (Bahia to São Paulo). Figs 122–132 .................. T. pustulata Audinet-Serville, 1834

- Prothorax rounded at sides, with two pairs of shallow tubercles, one pair antemedian and the other postmedian, in most specimens, these tubercles are black; pronotum usually with four to six spots and a black band. Brazil (Goiás, Mato Grosso, Espírito Santo and Rio Grande do Sul), Paraguay (Itapuá, Guairá), Argentina (Corrientes) and Uruguay (Artigas, Canelones). Figs 141–152 .............................................................. T. maculicollis Audinet-Serville, 1834
