Abstract

Division of the genus Distenia Lepeletier & Audinet-Serville, notes on wing venation in Disteniini, homonyms, synonymy and redescriptions (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Disteniinae). The genus Distenia is divided in five genera: Hovorestenia Santos-Silva gen. nov. [H. humeralis (Waterhouse, 1880) comb. nov.] Oculipetilus gen. nov. [O. brunneorufus (Thomson, 1860) comb. nov.; O. pulcher (Melzer, 1926) comb. nov.] Elytrimitatrix gen. nov., Novantinoe nom. nov., gen. rev. [N. agriloides (Bates, 1885) comb. nov.; N. bicolora (Thomson, 1864); N. cribristernis (Bates, 1885) comb. nov.; N. darlingtoni (Fisher, 1942) comb. nov.; N. denticornis (Bates, 1870) comb. nov.; N. equatoriensis (Villiers, 1959) comb. nov.; N. fulvopicta (Bates, 1885) comb. nov.; N. germaini (Villiers, 1959) comb. nov.; N. guyanensis (Villiers, 1959) comb. nov.; N. mathani (Villiers, 1959) comb. nov.; N. pegnai (Hüdepohl, 1989) comb. nov.; N. peruviensis (Villiers, 1959) comb. nov.; N. puertoricensis (Lingafelter & Micheli, 2004) comb. nov.; N. rufa (Villiers, 1959) comb. nov.; N. spinosa (Bates, 1885) comb. nov.; N. striatiscapis (Villiers, 1885) comb. nov.; N. tumidicollis (Villiers, 1959) comb. nov.; N. unidentata (Villiers, 1959) comb. nov.] Disteniazteca gen. nov. [D. pilati (Chevrolat, 1857) comb. nov.; D. fimbriata (Lacordaire, 1869) comb. nov.] and Distenia sensu stricto. Elytrimitatrix and Distenia are composed of two subgenera: E. (Elytrimitatrix) subgen. nov. [E. (E.) undata (Fabricius, 1775) comb. nov.] and E. (Grossifemora) subgen. nov. [E. (G.) batesi (Villiers, 1959) comb. nov.; E. (G.) brevicornis (Bates, 1885) comb. nov.; E. (G.) chrysostigma (Bates, 1872) comb. nov.; E. (G.) fuscula (Bates, 1885) comb. nov.; E. (G.) geniculata (Bates, 1872) comb. nov.; E. (G.) hoegei (Bates, 1885) comb. nov.; E. (G.) irregularis (Linsley, 1935) comb. nov.; E. (G.) lineatopora (Bates, 1880) comb. nov.; E. (G.) nigrella (Bates, 1880) comb. nov.; E. (G.) pictipes (Bates, 1885) comb. nov.; E. (G.) punctiventris (Bates, 1885) comb. nov.; E. (G.) simplex (Bates, 1885) comb. nov.; E. (G.) trifasciata (Bates, 1892) comb. nov.; E. (G.) vittata (Bates, 1880) comb. nov.] and D. (Distenia) [D. (D.) angustata Bates, 1870; D. (D.) annulicornis Villiers, 1959; . (D.) atrocyanea Villiers, 1959; D. (D.) bahiaensis Villiers, 1959; D. (D.) caerulescens Gounelle, 1911; D. (D.) cinctipennis Gounelle, 1911; D. (D.) columbina Audinet-Serville, 1828; D. (D.) esmeralda Villiers, 1959; D. (D.) fastuosa Pascoe, 1871; D. (D.) forcipata Villiers, 1959; D. (D.) fryi Villiers, 1959; D. (D.) langurioides Bates, 1885; D. (D.) lateralis Fisher, 1946; D. (D.) limbata Bates, 1885; D. (D.) macella Villiers, 1959; D. (D.) pilosa Villiers, 1959; D. (D.) splendens Bates, 1870; D. (D.) suturalis Bates, 1870; D. (D.) viridicyanea (Thomson, 1864)] and D. (Basisvallis) subgen. nov. [D. (B.) agroides Bates, 1870; D. (B.) carinata Villiers, 1959; D. (B.) chaparensis Tippmann, 1953; D. (B.) cyaneipennis Villiers, 1959; D. (B.) fossulata Villiers, 1959; D. (B.) granulipes Villiers, 1959; D. (B.) phaeocera Bates, 1880; D. (B.) pullula Gounelle, 1911; D. (B.) rufipes Bates, 1870; D. (B.) rugiscapis Bates, 1885; D. (B.) sallaei Bates, 1885; D. (B.) spinipennis Fisher, 1946; D. (B.) striaticollis Villiers, 1959]. Novantinoe nom. nov. is proposed to replace Antinoe Thomson, 1864 (preocupied), and Thomsonistenia nom. nov. to replace Thelxiope Thomson, 864 (preocupied). Novantinoe is revalidated and Thomsonistenia is maintained in the synonymy of Distenia Lepeletier Audinet-Serville, 1828. The wing venation in Disteniini is discussed and described. Disteniinae is considered nomen protectum and "Cométites" Blanchard, 1845 is considered nomen oblitum, and the status of the group is discussed. Hovorestenia humeralis (Waterhouse, 1880) comb. nov. is redescribed and figured. New synonymy: Distenia mirabilis Villiers, 1959 = Oculipetilus pulcher (Melzer, 1926) comb. nov. Keys to American genera of Disteniinae, subgenera of Distenia and Elytrimitatrix, species of Oculipetilus, and species of Disteniazteca are added.
