Megacyllene Casey, 1912 View in CoL View at ENA
Newman (1840) described the new genus Cyllene for Cyllene spinifera Newman, 1840 (now Megacyllene nebulosa Laporte and Gory, 1836 ) ( Monné 2018). Subsequently, Casey (1912) described Megacyllene for Clytus antennatus White, 1855 . Hopping (1932) disagreed with the Casey concept and placed Megacyllene into synonymy with Cyllene . Fisher (1945) found Cyllene Newman, 1840 to be preoccupied by Cyllene Gray, 1834 (Mollusca) and designated Megacyllene as a replacement. The genus is restricted to America (New World) (most species are neotropical) and is currently composed of 54 species and two subspecies ( Bezark 2019; Tavakilian and Chevillotte 2018). Recently, the South American species were revised by Martins and Galileo (2011). A new species from west-central Mexico (Nayarit) is described below.
