Ceralocyna nigricollis ( Gounelle, 1911)

Material examined: BRAZIL, Espírito Santo (new state record): Aracruz , 19°51′32″S, 40°13′05″W, 1 ♀, 22.V.1995, J.A.C. Simões col. ( MZSP) ; Linhares , 1 ♂, XI.1972, P.C. Elias col. ( MZSP). Minas Gerais (new state record): Belo Horizonte, 1 ♀, no additional data ( MZSP) .

This species was described from Brazil (Goiás). Currently, it is known from Brazil (Mato Grosso, Goiás), Bolivia ( Santa Cruz) ( Monné, 2020a). The species shows some chromatic variation: sides of pronotum orange or red ; elytra mostly orange or red; prosternum entirely orange or with anterior area black; femora may be entirely black or meso- and metafemora bicolorous (basal third yellowish brown or reddish brown and remaining surface black).

Gounelle (1911) described C. terminata var. nigricollis based on males and females. Monné & Giesbert (1992) considered this subspecies as distinct from C. terminata . Comparing photographs of the holotype of C. terminata with that of a syntype of C. nigricollis , as well as with the specimens examined by us, C. nigricollis differs from C. terminata only by the elytral punctures not aligned in rows, while they are aligned in the latter.
