Plistonax senecauxi Tavakilian & Néouze, 2013 ( Fig. 10g )

Plistonax senecauxi Tavakilian and Néouze (2013): 48 , figs. 12–13; Morvan and Roguet (2014): 20 (distr.); Monné (2021) (cat).

Type locality: holotype (male) – French Guiana, Route de Kaw , Pk-36 ( MNHN) ( Fig. 10g ) .

Diagnosis. Elytra with one pair of distinct white stains in shape of bow, starting from base with slight concavity at median region ( Fig. 10g ). Transversal dark stains on elytral slope slightly oblique ( Fig. 10g ).

Distribution. French Guiana (Fig. S4d).

Remarks. The diagnostic features of this species are in the elytral pubescence pattern, mainly in the pair of white stains, which Tavakilian and Néouze (2013) described as “forme de lyre” (shape of lyre). Similarly to the condition found in P. albolinitus , P. antonkozlovi , and P. inopinatus , this species has tubercles on the inner surface of male antennomeres. P. senecauxi is known only from French Guiana.
