03CD8791FFD7A47397F39B0EC45AFA1C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. – Among the species of Macrodontia, M. crenata is the species with the greatest amount of morphological and chromatic variation not associated with a geographical region. The most common variations in both sexes are: 1. Vertex smooth (Fig. 8, 12), sparsely punctate, or abundantly punctate (in the latter case, sometimes rugose-punctate) (Fig. 1, 4, 9); 2. Central plate on the pronotum smooth (Fig. 8, 12), sparsely punctate, abundantly and finely punctate (Fig. 9), abundantly and coarsely punctate (Fig. 1), or densely rugose-punctate;	en	Tirant, Stephane Le, Santos-Silva, Antonio (2023): Description of two new species of Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) and notes on Macrodontia crenataand Deltaspis cyanipes.

Elytra distinctly longitudinally carinate or carina slightly evident or absent; 5. Elytra from yellowish brown to dark brown; rarely, with longitudinal blackish bands between yellowish-brown areas (Fig. 1), or darker dorsally than laterally. Bleuzen (1994) stated: “ In the large number of specimens that I have been able to study, I have been able to note a certain number of variations. Firstly, there is the colour, which varies from brown ochre to dark brown. This seems to me to be principally due to the ageing and desiccation of the specimens, as material which is old or overexposed to sunlight is always light whilst fresh and correctly killed material is dark coloured (the elytra being slightly translucent). The other variations are: the more or less strong presence of ribs, punctation and the microstructure of the pronotum in both sexes. Over the whole range of specimens, a progressive gradation has become evident. It appears that the less punctate specimens come from the Amazon basin whilst the most coarsely punctate ones come, in general, from the outlying areas such as the Guyanan plateau, the start of the Andean foothills and the Mato Grosso plateau. ” In addition to these variations, males, especially those of small size (Fig. 1 - 4), can also have mandibles like females (Fig. 12 - 13). In the males with mandibles similar to those of females, the submentum (Fig. 2) is also equal to that of females (Fig. 13), i. e., the anterior punctate region is longer and less transverse than in typical males (Fig. 10) and is not tuberculate laterally close to eyes (tuberculate in males (Fig. 11) with typical masculine mandibles). We illustrate a male (Fig. 1 - 7) with mandibles and submentum as in females, but also with distinct blackish bands on the elytra. This male can be recognized as M. crenata rather than a member of the group of species that always have these bands (M. antonkozlovi Santos-Silva, 2016; M. batesi Lameere, 1912; M. castroi Marazzi, Pavisi & Marazzi, 2008; M. dejeanii Gory, 1839; M. marechali Bleuzen, 1990; and M. mathani Pouillaude, 1915) by the shape and sculpturing of the submentum as in females of M. crenata. Furthermore, we already saw photograph of a male with the typical mandibles of large males of M. crenata with the elytral blackish bands. In females of the other species, the punctures on the anterior region of the submentum are less distinct (Fig. 14, 15). Although we see any males of M. antonkozlovi, M. batesi, M. castroi, M. dejeanii, M. marechali, and M. mathani with mandibles like in females, it is expected that they also have the submentum as in females. According to Schönherr (1817): “ [Prionus] Crenatus. Fabr. S. El. II. p. 264.35. Loc. India. ” Therefore, he provided a replacement name for Olivier’s species: “ Quadri-spinosus. Prion. crenatus. Oliv. Ent. IV. 66. p. 27.29. T. 2. f. 45. Loc. Cayenna. ” Gory (1839) refuted the replacement name (translated): “ I do not know what reason M. Schoenherr may have had, in his synonymy, for preceding the name of Prionus crenatus, Oliv., with that of quadri-spinosus, without the name of the author; I therefore believe I should restore the name originally adopted. ” Lameere (1904) stated (translated): “ It is wrong that Schönherr changed the name of this species, probably because the nomenclature contained in 1817 a second Prionus crenatus: the latter, which is a Macrotoma, was only published by Fabricius in 1801 (Syst. Eleuth, II, p. 264), and it is he who should have been renamed. ” According to Bousquet (2016), the work in which Fabricius described Prionus crenatus was published in 1802; and on the work in which Olivier described Prionus crenatus: “ This volume is usually dated 1795, the date on the title page. However, due to a diplomatic and scientific mission of Olivier to the Ottoman Empire, livraison 23, which comprised about 3 / 4 of the volume (? starting at page 81 of Capricorne), was published in 1800. It was recorded on the Fructidor an VIII (= 18 August – 22 September 1800) issue of the Journal général de la Littérature de France. ” Therefore, the synonymy proposed by Gory (1839) is correct: Prionus quadrispinosus is an unnecessary replacement name and thus a junior synonym of Prionus crenatus Olivier. Lameere (1904) synonymized Macrodontia castanea and M. ehrenreichi with M. crenata. Photographs of the holotypes of M. castanea and M. ehrenreichi (Pirkl 2023) confirm the synonymies proposed by Lameere (1904). Currently, M. crenata is recorded from Colombia, Venezuela, Suriname, French Guiana, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia (Beni, Cochabamba, Santa Cruz), Brazil (Acre, Amazonas, Pará, Rondônia, Mato Grosso, Goiás, Mato Grosso do Sul), and Paraguay (Monné 2023; Bezark 2023; Tavakilian & Chevillotte 2022). Male genitalia (Fig. 5 - 7). – In lateral view (Fig. 5), aedeagus slightly arched; tegmen shorter than penis; parameres (Fig. 5 - 7) gradually narrowed toward rounded apex, with moderately abundant, short and long, yellowish-brown setae; phallobase 4.0 times longer than parameres.	en	Tirant, Stephane Le, Santos-Silva, Antonio (2023): Description of two new species of Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) and notes on Macrodontia crenataand Deltaspis cyanipes.

03CD8791FFD2A47F97CB9A54C4BEFEA4.taxon	discussion	Remarks. – By the spongy setal pads of the metatarsomeres distinctly longitudinally sulcate, the new species belongs to Prionus (Prionus) (Santos-Silva et al. 2016; Schiefer 2022). Schiefer (2022) revalidated Prionus (Antennalia) Casey, 1912 and Prionus (Neopolyarthron) Semenov, 1899. In females of P. (Neopolyarthron), the antennae have 15 - 23 antennomeres (Schiefer 2022), and in females of P. (Antennalia) they have at least 20 antennomeres; in both subgenera, the metaventrite is glabrous in females. Although the number of antennomeres may allow including the new species in P. (Neopolyarthron), the laterally pubescent metaventrite excludes this option; the number of antennal segments and the pubescence on the metaventrite also exclude P. (Antennalia). The key to species of Prionus (Prionus) by Santos-Silva et al. (2016) leads Prionus (Prionus) hectori sp. nov. to the alternative of couplet “ 9, ” with P. (P.) aztecus Casey, 1912. Females of Prionus (Prionus) hectori sp. nov. differ from those of P. (P.) aztecus (Fig. 22 - 24) as follows: in ventral view (Fig. 17), distance between lower eye lobes slightly larger than maximum diameter of scape; metanepisterna and sides of metaventrite with very short pubescence and remaining surface of metaventrite almost glabrous (Fig. 17); apex of the scutellum slightly narrower than basal region; elytra distinctly expanded from anterior sixth; and dorsal surface of tarsi, especially metatarsi, subglabrous (Fig. 21). In females of P. (P.) aztecus, the distance between the eye lobes in ventral view (Fig. 23) is greater than twice the maximum diameter of the scape, the metanepisterna and sides of the metaventrite have moderately long pubescence, reaching the anterocentral region, the remaining surface has sparser but distinct pubescence (Fig. 23), the apex of the scutellum is much narrower than base, the sides of the elytra are subparallel from the base to about posterior quarter, and the dorsal surface of the tarsi, especially metatarsi, has somewhat sparse but distinct pubescence (Fig. 24). Females of P. (P.) hectori sp. nov. is also similar to females of P. (P.) mexicanus Bates, 1884 (Fig. 25 - 27), but differ by the same differences as from P. (P.) aztecus and by antennomeres IV-IV proportionally shorter (longer in P. (P.) mexicanus).	en	Tirant, Stephane Le, Santos-Silva, Antonio (2023): Description of two new species of Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) and notes on Macrodontia crenataand Deltaspis cyanipes.

03CD8791FFDEA47F97C39E5CC543F759.taxon	discussion	Remarks. – ThisspecieswasdescribedfromMexico (SanCarlos). There are several places in Mexico named San Carlos, in many states. Selander & Vaurie (1962) did not report this locality. Monné (2023 a) and Tavakilian & Chevillotte (2022) reported that the species was described based on a holotype. However, Bates (1885) stated about Deltaspis auromarginata Audinet-Serville, 1834: “ All the examples I have seen of this species belong to the var. D. cyanipes (Klug, MS.), which, according to Lacordaire, is a variety of D. auromarginata. ” Therefore, the species was described based on unknown number of syntypes. Deltaspis cyanipes appears in Dejean (1835) as attributed to Klug. However, the name is a nomen nudum in Dejean (1835). We were unable to find a work by Jean Théodore Lacordaire in which he mentioned that D. cyanipes is a variety of D. auromarginata. Bates (1892), in the description of D. rufostigma var., discussed D. cyanipes, not D. auromarginata var. cyanipes: “ D. cyanipedi (Klug = auromarginata, Serv.?); ” “ In the form and colour of the thorax this variety answers much better than D. cyanipes does to Serville’s description of D. auromarginata …; ” and: “ In D. cyanipes the thorax … ” Chemsak & Linsley (1982), without explanation, listed D. cyanipes as a species different from D. auromarginata, a condition maintained until today. Monné (2023 a) reported this species from Mexico (Jalisco, Puebla, Mexico, Morelos, Sinaloa, Guerrero, and Veracruz). Eya (2019) did not report the Mexican states of Mexico (recorded by Toledo 2005) nor Sinaloa (recorded by Monné 2005). Apparently, the citation of the Mexican state of Guerrero appeared for the first time in Monné (2005). However, we do not know a work mentioning this state before the citation in this catalog, as well as the state of Sinaloa. Eya (2019) confirmed the presence of this species in the Mexican state of Guerrero but not in Sinaloa. We confirm the presence of D. cyanipes in Sinaloa.	en	Tirant, Stephane Le, Santos-Silva, Antonio (2023): Description of two new species of Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) and notes on Macrodontia crenataand Deltaspis cyanipes.
