Type material. Holotype male from MEXICO, Nayarit: 5-18 km NE Compostela, 10.VII.2019, J. Rifkind & E. Martinez leg. (CASC, formerly LGBC). Paratype male, same data as holotype (LGBC). Etymology. The species name “ obliqua,” Latin for oblique, is in reference to the basal elytral maculae of this species which are oblique, being angled from the suture towards the lateral edges. Remarks. Neocompsa obliqua sp. nov. is similar to N. tenuissima (Bates, 1885) (Fig. 19) but differs as follows: prothorax almost entirely black; elytra entirely dark; eyes somewhat coarsely faceted, with the area between lobes slightly narrower than upper eye lobe; and distance between upper eye lobes slightly wider than maximum diameter of the scape. In N. tenuissima, the posterior area of prothorax is orangish, this area wider ventrally, elytra have the basal region orangish (this area variable in shape and length, but always present), eyes finely faceted, with the area between lobes distinctly slender than upper eye lobes, especially centrally, and the distance between upper eye lobes is much wider than maximum width of the scape (about twice). It differs from N. clerochroa (Thomson, 1867) (Fig. 20) by the prothorax almost entirely dark (entirely orangish in N. clerochroa), elytra entirely dark (orangish anteriorly in N. clerochroa), and by the size of the ommatidia, shape of the area between lobes and distance between upper eye lobes (in N. clerochroa, all these features as in N. tenuissima).

Type material. Holotype male from PANAMA, Chiriquí: vic. Chiriquicito, 17.V.1996, Wappes, Huether & Morris leg. (FSCA, formerly ACMT). Etymology. The specific epithet “ soniae ” is in honor to our friend, and mentor of the first author, Sonia Aparecida Casari, in recognition of her contributions to the knowledge of Coleoptera, especially on Elateridae and larvae. Remarks. According to Martins (1965, 1970a, 2009), the upper eye lobes in Neocompsa Martins, 1965 have three rows of ommatidia. However, in N. soniae sp. nov., as well as in some other species of Neocompsa, the upper eye lobes have four rows of ommatidia in the innermost area. Neocompsa soniae sp. nov. is similar to N. aspasia Martins, 1974 in its general appearance, but differs as follows: upper eye lobes with four rows of ommatidia; antennomeres VII–XI unicolorous; pronotum not abundantly pubescent; and posterior yellow macula on the elytra triangular-shaped. In N. aspasia, the upper eye lobes have three rows of ommatidia, antennomeres VII–XI are bicolorous, pronotum has abundant pubescence not obscuring integument, and the posterior yellow macula on the elytra is longitudinally elongated. The new species can be included in the alternative of couplet “13” from Martins (1970a) (translated, modified): 13(12). Pronotum not pubescent close to posterior margin.

The new species is also similar to N. albopilosa (Martins, 1962), N. tucumana (Martins, 1962), N. serrana (Martins, 1962), N. vogti Martins, 1970, and N. lineolata (Bates, 1870), especially by having a single longitudinal yellowish band on each elytron, but it differs by the pronotum with dense lateral pubescence (absent in these species). Also, it differs from N. serrana and N. vogti by having dense pubescence only on apical half of the elytra (elytral pubescence is present throughout in N. serrana and N. vogti). Lastly, the new species is similar to N. santarensis Martins & Galileo, 1998 by having sparse pubescence only on the posterior half of the elytra; however, it differs from N. santarensis by having a single longitudinal band on each elytron (N. santarensis has two bands, one of them elliptical). In the key to species of Neocompsa from Martins (2009), the new species can be included in the alternative of couplet “10,” modified: 10(9).

Neocompsa aspasia Martins, 1974 (Figs. 9–12) Neocompsa aspasia Martins, 1974: 148; Monné, 2021: 547 (cat.). The description of Neocompsa aspasia was based on a single female from Ecuador (Loja). Martins (2009) included it in a key to South American species of Neocompsa Martins, 1965, and recorded the species from Costa Rica (Cartago). According to Martins (2009), N. aspasia differs from the South American species of the genus by having elytra not pubescent, unarmed at apex and with longitudinal whitish bands. In fact, in N. lenticula Martins, 1970, the posterior whitish macula is rounded; and in N. micromacula Martins & Galileo, 1999, the whitish maculae are somewhat small and subelliptical. In Central America, the most similar species with these features is N. exclamationis (Thomson, 1860), but in this species the posterior whitish band is hook-shaped. Material examined.

Neocompsa thelgema was described based on a single male from Costa Rica. Monné and Giesbert (1994) recorded the species from Honduras based, probably, on material from the collection of Edmund F. Giesbert (currently deposited at FSCA). The female was never formally described, but the two specimens figured in Bezark (2020b) as well as the female examined by us are mostly blackish and not reddish-brown as the holotype male, including antennae and legs. The other features are nearly identical to the holotype male, except the antennae are distinctly shorter. In the holotype male, the antennae reach the elytral apex at about the apex of antennomere VII, while in the female they reach the apex about the apex of antennomere IX. Material examined.

Neocompsa bravo differs from N. quadriplagiata (LeConte, 1873) (see photograph of the holotype, as well as its synonyms at Bezark 2019a) by the antennae in male distinctly shorter (longer in N. quadriplagiata male), antennomere IV proportionally shorter (longer in N. quadriplagiata), and elytral apex truncate (rounded in N. quadriplagiata). The holotype of Ibidion pubescens Casey, 1924, currently under synonymy of N. quadriplagiata, is from Brownsville, the same place of one of the paratypes of the new species. However, the antennae are distinctly shorter (���about one-half longer than the body��� in male of I. pubescens), basal antennomeres proportionally wider in male (slender in I. pubescens), antennomere IV at most, half length of III (longer than half of III in I. pubescens), prothorax proportionally longer, and elytral apex truncate (���narrowly rounded��� in I. pubescens). Neocompsa bravo differs from N. intricata Martins, 1970 (Figs. 7���9, 12), by the shorter antennae in male (longer in N. intricata), antennomere IV proportionally shorter (longer in N. intricata), and elytral apex truncate and not projected at outer angle (outer angle projected in N. intricata). It differs from N. agnosta Martins, 1970 (see photograph of the holotype at Bezark 2019a), by the basal antennomeres proportionally wider, and antennomere IV proportionally shorter. Neocompsa bravo differs from N. wappesi Giesbert, 1998 (see photograph at Bezark 2019a) by the antennae in male distinctly shorter and antennomere IV also distinctly shorter (both longer in male of N. wappesi). It differs from N. ventricosa (Bates, 1885) (see photographs at Bezark 2019a) by the elytral apex truncate (spiniform in N. ventricosa); from N. giesberti Martins & Napp, 1986 (see photographs at Bezark 2019a), by the antennae shorter in both sexes (longer in N. giesberti); and from N. obscura Martins, 2009 (Fig. 11), by the antenna and antennomere IV in male distinctly shorter (both longer in N. obscura), and elytra light maculae entirely pubescent (partially pubescent in N. obscura). Neocompsa bravo n. sp. is uncommonly collected, but it has been known from southern Texas for a long time. A great deal of confusion has existed on what it should be called. We believe it has been previously listed as N. intricata Martins, 1970 by Hovore et. al. (1987), Neocompsa alacris (Bates, 1885) by Linsley (1963), Linsley and Martin (1933) and Schaeffer (1903, 1908) (Compsa textilis var. alacris in Linsley and Martin (1933); Compsa alacris in Linsley (1963); Ibidion textile var. alacre in Schaeffer���s works), and Neocompsa textilis (Thomson, 1865) by Schaeffer (1905, 1908) (as Ibidion textile). Hovore et. al. (1987). recorded a specimen of N. intricata from Welder Wildlife Refuge in San Patricio County Texas. We did not examine this specimen or any of those reported by Schaeffer (1903, 1905, 1908), Linsley (1963) or Linsley and Martin (1933). Santos-Silva et. al. (2018) excluded N. intricata from the North American fauna which resulted in efforts by these authors to identify the incorrectly identified Neocompsa from southern Texas., Published as part of Heffern, Daniel, Botero, Juan Pablo & Santos-Silva, Antonio, 2020, A new species of Neocompsa (Neoibidionini), and a new species and new combinations in Tillomorphini (Cerambycidae, Cerambycinae), pp. 334-350 in Zootaxa 4748 (2) on pages 335-337, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4748.2.6, http://zenodo.org/record/3698865, {"references":["Martins, U.

Etymology. The epithet of this new species refers to the Spanish name of the Rio Grande: Río Bravo del Norte. The name “ bravo ” is used as a noun in apposition. Remarks. Neocompsa bravo sp. nov. can be included in the alternative of couplet “30” from Martins (1970) (translated; modified): 30(29). Outer angle of elytral apex with narrow, long spine, curved toward inward; prosternum pubescent only close to procoxal cavities, smooth, very shining on remaining surface; anterior light elytral macula slightly tumid, nearly glabrous.

USA (Texas)......................................................................... N. bravo sp. nov. Neocompsa bravo differs from N. quadriplagiata (LeConte, 1873) (see photograph of the holotype, as well as its synonyms at Bezark 2019a) by the antennae in male distinctly shorter (longer in N. quadriplagiata male), antennomere IV proportionally shorter (longer in N. quadriplagiata), and elytral apex truncate (rounded in N. quadriplagiata). The holotype of Ibidion pubescens Casey, 1924, currently under synonymy of N. quadriplagiata, is from Brownsville, the same place of one of the paratypes of the new species. However, the antennae are distinctly shorter (“about one-half longer than the body” in male of I. pubescens), basal antennomeres proportionally wider in male (slender in I. pubescens), antennomere IV at most, half length of III (longer than half of III in I. pubescens), prothorax proportionally longer, and elytral apex truncate (“narrowly rounded” in I. pubescens). Neocompsa bravo differs from N. intricata Martins, 1970 (Figs. 7–9, 12), by the shorter antennae in male (longer in N. intricata), antennomere IV proportionally shorter (longer in N. intricata), and elytral apex truncate and not projected at outer angle (outer angle projected in N. intricata). It differs from N. agnosta Martins, 1970 (see photograph of the holotype at Bezark 2019a), by the basal antennomeres proportionally wider, and antennomere IV proportionally shorter. Neocompsa bravo differs from N. wappesi Giesbert, 1998 (see photograph at Bezark 2019a) by the antennae in male distinctly shorter and antennomere IV also distinctly shorter (both longer in male of N. wappesi). It differs from N. ventricosa (Bates, 1885) (see photographs at Bezark 2019a) by the elytral apex truncate (spiniform in N. ventricosa); from N. giesberti Martins & Napp, 1986 (see photographs at Bezark 2019a), by the antennae shorter in both sexes (longer in N. giesberti); and from N. obscura Martins, 2009 (Fig. 11), by the antenna and antennomere IV in male distinctly shorter (both longer in N. obscura), and elytra light maculae entirely pubescent (partially pubescent in N. obscura). Neocompsa bravo n. sp. is uncommonly collected, but it has been known from southern Texas for a long time. A great deal of confusion has existed on what it should be called. We believe it has been previously listed as N. intricata Martins, 1970 by Hovore et. al. (1987), Neocompsa alacris (Bates, 1885) by Linsley (1963), Linsley and Martin (1933) and Schaeffer (1903, 1908) (Compsa textilis var. alacris in Linsley and Martin (1933); Compsa alacris in Linsley (1963); Ibidion textile var. alacre in Schaeffer’s works), and Neocompsa textilis (Thomson, 1865) by Schaeffer (1905, 1908) (as Ibidion textile). Hovore et. al. (1987). recorded a specimen of N. intricata from Welder Wildlife Refuge in San Patricio County Texas. We did not examine this specimen or any of those reported by Schaeffer (1903, 1905, 1908), Linsley (1963) or Linsley and Martin (1933). Santos-Silva et. al. (2018) excluded N. intricata from the North American fauna which resulted in efforts by these authors to identify the incorrectly identified Neocompsa from southern Texas.

Neocompsa bravo sp. nov. (Neoibidionini, Compsina) is described from the United States of America (southern Texas). Tetranodus reticeps (Bates, 1880) (Tillomorphini, Tillomorphina) is redescribed and recorded from Honduras. A key to species of Tetranodus is provided and notes on the number of specimens in the original description of Tetranodus reticeps (Bates, 1880) are provided. A new species of Pentanodes (Tillomorphini, Tillomorphina) from Nicaragua is described and the following new combinations are proposed for species formerly in Tetranodus: Pentanodes xanthocollis (Chemsak, 1977), and P. tropipennis (Chemsak, 1977).

Neocompsa intricata Martins, 1970 Neocompsa intricata Martins, 1970: 1088; Monné, 2017a: 337 (cat.). The species was originally described from Mexico (Veracruz). Schaeffer (1905, 1908) recorded Neocompsa textilis (Thomson, 1865) from Texas, and Linsley & Martin (1933) described N. textilis var. alacre (written as alacris) also from Texas. The specimens used to record N. textilis and N. textilis alacris from the USA have been considered as belonging to N. intricata. Without doubt, this supposition was based in Martins (1970) (translated): “The specimens from Brownsville, Texas, and from Hidalgo in Mexico, appear to belong to this species [N. intricata]; however, the elytral apex is less projected at outer side and the erect setae of the elytra are more abundant. They will not be included in the type series.” Evidently, this is not a formal affirmation (“appear”). Thus, it is a mistake to list these specimens in the references of N. intricata. Currently, N. textilis var. alacre is N. alacris (Bates, 1885). According to Monné (2017a), N. intricata is recorded from the USA (Texas), Mexico (San Luis Potosí, Veracruz). However, as seen before, for the time being, the species is formally excluded from the fauna of the USA. Material examined. MEXICO, Hidalgo: Molango (1650 m), male, 9.VII.1989, D. Curoe col.

New taxa, notes, and new synonymy in Neoibidionini (Cerambycidae, Coleoptera) are given. New taxa are described from Ecuador: Compsibidion inflatum sp. nov., Bezarkia gen. nov. and B. suturalis sp. nov., Corimbion antennatum sp. nov. and Neocompsa muira sp. nov.; from Mexico: Neocompsa chiapensis sp. nov., and from French Guyana: Kunaibidion giesberti sp. nov. Pygmodeon maculatum Martins & Galileo, 2012 is considered a new synonym of Heterachthes xyleus Martins, 1974 which is transferred to the genus Pygmodeon as a new combination. Notes on variability and new records of Asynapteron equatorianum (Martins, 1960) are presented.
