( Figs. 64 , 76 , 107 , 116, 117 , 127 , 155 , 165 , 188 ; Map 6 )

Enoplium marginellum Klug, 1842: 376 . Holotype ♀. Pará, Sieber (ZMHB). (Specimen point mounted, gender label affixed to paper point; support card; locality label; ZMHB acronymic label; type label; specimen number label- 58869; historical collection label; holotype label; identification label; plastic vial with abdomen and ovipositor.) Lacordaire 1857: 477; Gemminger and Harold 1869: 1752; Schenkling 1903: 102, 1910: 123; Corporaal 1942: 142, 1950: 271; Blackwelder 1945: 389; Ekis 1975: 49.

Enoplium laterale Klug, 1842: 377 . Holotype ♂. Brazil, Virmond (ZMHB). New synonymy. Lacordaire 1857: 477; Lohde 1900: 101; Schenkling 1903: 102; Corporaal 1950: 377; The characteristics used to describe this nominal species represent intraspecific variation.

Ichnea circumcincta Chevrolat, 1874: 324 . Lectotype ♂. Herein designated. Mexico, D.A. Sallé (MNHN). Two paralectotypes (MNHN). Lohde 1900: 101; Schenkling 1910: 123; Blackwelder 1945: 389; Corporaal 1950: 271.

Ichnea pubescence Spinola, 1844: 25. Lectotype and one paralectotype. Genders unknown. Cayenne , French Guiana. Gemminger and Harold 1869: 1752; Blackwelder 1945: 389; Corporaal 1950: 271.

Hylecoetus cylindricus Germar, 1912: 719 . New synonymy. I have examined a specimen from the MNHN identified as H. cylindricus . This specimen clearly is an example of I. marginella . Moreover, the illustration of an antenna of H. cylindricus , associated with Germar’ s description (Germar 1912: 720) is perfectly compatible with the form of the antenna of I. marginella .

Diagnosis. The extent of narrowness of the vertex ( Fig. 64 ) will distinguish the members of this species from congeners.

Description. Size: Length 7.8 mm; width 3.0 mm. Form ( Fig. 155 ): Oblong subovoid. Integumental color ( Fig. 107 ): Cranium mostly yellow, infuscated behind eye; pronotum yellow, faintly infuscated anteromedially; elytra mostly dark brown, with yellow line along epipleural and sutural margins; femora yellow, tibiae and tarsi brown. Head: HW/PW 1.0; frons not indented; EW/VW 5.0; antenna as in Fig. 165 , funicle not compressed. Thorax: Pronotum, PL/PW 1.0; elytra subovoid, EL/PL 4.5; EL/EW 2.3; anterior margin of protibia with 12 spines. Male genitalia: Aedeagus as in Fig. 188 . Male mesodermal internal reproductive organs ( Fig. 116 ): Testes comprised of 22 follicles. Female mesodermal internal reproductive organs: As in Fig. 117 .

Variation. Size: length 5.0– 7.9 mm; width 1.2– 2.4 mm. There is variation in the degree to which the eyes approximate each other in dorsal view. Specimens from the more northern part of the species’ range, for example Honduras, are a little wider between the eyes than those from South America. Also, there is considerable variation in the expression of the broad brown vitta at the middle of the pronotal disc and in the expression of the pale line on the elytral suture. In a few specimens, especially those from Mexico, the pale line along the epipleural and sutural margins coalesce at the elytral apex.

Natural History. Specimens have been captured throughout the year at elevations ranging from 100 to 1,615 m. Some were taken from a fallen oak log, others in a Malaise trap in a montane tropical rainforest. Specimens were also collected on a felled trunk of Manilkara .

Distribution. The known range of this species extends from Mexico to Brazil ( Map 6 ).
