Psapharochrus maculatissimus (Bates, 1861) Fig. 21

Material examined: BRAZIL, São Paulo (new state record): Valentim Gentil (20°22′17.7″S, 50°04′46.6″W), [semiochemical trap], 1 female, 02.X.2016, W.D. Silva col. ( ESALQ); 2 females, 19.X.2017, W.D. Silva col. ( ESALQ).

Geographical distribution: Psapharochrus maculatissimus was originally described from Brazil (Pará). Currently, it is known from Brazil (Pará, Mato Grosso, and Goiás), Bolivia (Cochabamba and Santa Cruz) ( Monné, 2019b). Zajciw (1968) recorded this species from Peru. This latter country was present in Monné (1994),but was omitted in Monné (2005, 2019b). Works excluding this species from Peruvian fauna are unknown. Furthermore, the work by Zajciw (1968) appears in Monné (2005, 2019b) under references of P.maculatissimus .

Remarks: The last author collected this species in 2016 in a remnant of Cerrado at Valentim Gentil. In that occasion, conspecific adults of both sexes were caught with traps baited with general attractant pheromones for cerambycid beetles. Living adult beetles were used to obtain the attractant pheromone of the species and the results will be published elsewhere (i.e., Silva et al., 2019).
