3567A2716C27FF9811DAFD15FA1FF828.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Dejean (1835: 348) listed the genus Atelodesmis in the second edition of his catalogue, with a single Brazilian species name, A. vestita. Both names are nomina nuda, because the species was not described thus making the genus also not available because no validly described species were included (ICZN 1999: Article 12.1). For a complete discussion of the names and some nomenclatural issues in the second and third Dejean catalogs, see the papers by Bousquet and Bouchard (2013 a, b). Buquet (1857: 334) described Atelodesmis for five new species: A. hirticornis, A. vestita, A. unicolor, A. octomaculata, and A. viridescens, citing the third edition of the Dejean catalog (Dejean 1836: 374) as the origin of the name. Currently, A. octomaculata is Chereas octomaculata (Calliini), and A. viridescens is Drycothaea viridescens (Calliini) (combinations by Thomson 1868). According to him, the genus is defined as follows (translated): “ Head with medium size, convex dorsally, with frons vertical or slightly inclined forward. Eyes slightly protruding. Antennae 11 - segmented, filiform, as long as body, more or less hairy; scape very long, thick, slightly conical, pedicel very short, nearly triangular, the following ones with similar length, except the last two ones that are shorter. In some species, the first four articles are covered with a long pubescence, so thick that they appear much wider than the following. Palpi filiform, with last article terminated in a sharp point. Mandibles weakly long, partly covered by the labrum, which is rounded. Prothorax cylindrical, longer than wide, with a single spine on each side. Scutellum very short, rounded distally. Elytra convex, more or less elongate, truncate at base, rounded at humeri and apex. Metaventrite slightly depressed. Legs barely long, femora more or less swollen, first article of the tarsi the longest. Abdomen with five segments, the last one rounded at apex in male, slightly emargin- ate in female. ” Later, Bates (1885) included another species from Mexico, A. piperita Bates, 1885. Thus, Atelodesmis Buquet currently includes 4 species. It has been overlooked until now that Atelodesmis was described previous to Buquet (1857), in D’Orbigny’s (1841) Dictionnaire universel d’histoire naturelle. Duponchel and Chevrolat (published in D’Orbigny 1841) (translated): “ Genus of tetramerous Coleoptera, family of the Longicornes, established by Mr. Dejean in his last Catalog. According to the place he gives it, this genus belongs to the tribe of the Lamiaires of Mr. Serville, and returns to the branch of the Pogonocheraires of Mr. Mulsant. Mr. Chevrolat assigns to this genus the following characters: Body subcylindrical, slightly flattened dorsally. Elytra regularly rounded at apex of each elytron. Pronotum as long as wide, straight at base and apex, and on each side of which is provided at middle with a small spine, distinctly wide at its base. Head cut straight in front, convex and with a single furrow on frons. Antennae inserted a little above the anterior middle of the eyes, 12 - segmented, the first 5 of which are covered with setae so thick that it is almost impossible to distinguish the joints; the next 7 denuded; tarsal claws very robust, simple. Only two species from Brazil are known, the A. vestita Dej. and the A. Mannerheimii. Here is the description of the latter: entirely dirty yellowish white; elytra streaked with greenish yellow veins; 2 longitudinal lines of the same color on the pronotum. The mandibles, eyes, setae of antennal segments 2 - 5, and apex of the remaining antennomeres are dark. The authorship of Atelodesmis is attributed only to Chevrolat because the dictionary entry (1841: 287) for the genus states “ M. Chevrolat assigne à ce g. les charactères suiv- ant ” …, while the authorship of A. mannerheimii is attributed to Duponchel and Chevrolat because both are cited as authors for the Atelodesmis entry without any other qualifications as to the author of the species. Atelodesmis vestita is a nomen nudum in Duponchel and Chevrolat (1841: 287), because it was not described but simply cited as a Dejean name, and hence does not satisfy the conditions established in Article 12 (ICZN 1999). Accordingly, the type species of Atelodesmis Chevrolat, 1841 is A. mannerheimii Duponchel and Chevrolat, 1841, by monotypy. According to Sherborn and Palmer (1899) the title page of volume II of the Dictionnaire universel d’histoire naturelle, where Atelodesmis was described, is dated as having being published in 1843, although the “ Actual date of completed volume, with the authority ” is 1842. However, an edition with title page dated 1842 also exists. According to Evenhuis (1990), the final livraison of volume II was published on 30 July 1842, however, the part which included Atelodesmis was actually published in November 1841.	en	Santos-Silva, Antonio, Wappes, James E.

3567A2716C21FF9A11DAFF3AFDC3FD09.taxon	discussion	Remarks. According to Buquet (1857), A. vestita differs from A. hirticornis by its size, which is somewhat larger; its glossy black color with yellowish spots; the head is finely punctate in A. hirticornis, while in A. vestita it is very strongly punctate; and the prothorax is slightly wider than long in A. hirticornis, and longer than wide in A. vestita. However, all these differences are only variations within a single species, and can occur in differing combinations. For example, there are small, very densely pubescent specimens with an elongate prothorax as well as much larger, sparsely pubescent specimens with a prothorax that is distinctly wider than long. These differences occur independently of the sex and collection locality. The difference regarding punctation pointed out by Buquet (1857) is mostly due to the pubescence, which can obscure the punctures (sometimes nearly completely). It is clear from examining many specimens that densely pubescent specimens tend to correspond to “ hirticornis ”. In some, the pubescence on the head can be sparse (sometimes nearly absent) on the entire frons and on the center of the vertex (as in the holotype of A. vestita), or in others, notably dense (as in the holotype of A. hirticornis), although intermediate forms between these two extremes are also found. The same occurs in the pronotal pubescence, which can be nearly absent centrally (as in the holotype of A. vestita) or dense throughout, especially on a central band (as in the holotype of A. hirticornis) but, again there are intermediate forms. Regarding the elytral pubescence, there are two extreme forms, those with very similar densely pubescent maculae, including their placement, corresponding to typical A. hirticornis, and those with less densely pubescent maculae. Again, intermediate forms exist with sparser maculae than in the holotype of A. vestita. In summary, the variation in pronotal shape, dorsal pubescence and punctures, all found in varying combinations, clearly indicates that A. hirticornis and A. vestita are the same, rather variable species. According to Thomson (1864: 105), “ A. mannerheimii Dej. Cat. p. 374 ” is a synonym of A. hirticornis. Also, according to Gemminger (1873: 3108), “ Mannerheimi [sic] Dejean i. litt. — Brasilia ” is a synonym of A. hirticornis. It is difficult to ascertain how these authors arrived at this conclusion, as there is no citation of Atelodesmis mannerheimii in Dejean’s catalogues (1835, 1836). One can only guess that they were aware of the fact that the name A. mannerheimii was published in Duponchel and Chevrolat (1841) and came to an erroneous conclusion that it had originated from Dejean’s collection. The holotype of A. mannerheimii is probably in the BMNH in the Dejean, or Chevrolat, collection. Although we could not examine the holotype, the original description of the species, as well as that of the genus, and that Brazil was the origin of all the taxa, supports the conclusion that A. vestita and A. hirticornis are synonyms of A. mannerheimii. In this case, it is not possible to apply Article 23.9 of ICZN (1999) and regard one of the junior synonyms as the valid name of this species because the conditions demanded by Article 23.9.1.2 are not present.	en	Santos-Silva, Antonio, Wappes, James E.

3567A2716C22FF9B11DAFD03FD58FE54.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Fallaxdesmis differs from Atelodesmis by having the lower eye lobes longer than gena; antennomeres III – IV not widened toward apex; long setae, usually sparse on scape, pedicel and antennomeres III – IV, suberect and distinctly shorter both dorsally and laterally; and lateral tubercle of prothorax small (giving cylindrical appearance to the prothorax).

3567A2716C23FF9B11DAFDCFFC32FA94.taxon	description	Breuning (1974) separated A. hirticornis and A. vestita from A. unicolor and A. piperita in his key, based on the length of lower eye lobes compared with the genae. According to him, the first two species have the lower eye lobes as long as the genae, while in the last two they are distinctly longer than the genae. Although the redescription of A. unicolor agrees very well with specimens of the species, the lower eye lobes are not distinctly longer than the genae, rather they are about as long as genae to slightly longer. Still, according to Breuning (1974), Buquet described the species based on “ specimens ” (suggesting more than 1) from Mexico. However, Buquet (1857) only gave dimensions for a single specimen, thus suggesting only a holotype, and not several syntypes, exist.	en	Santos-Silva, Antonio, Wappes, James E.

3567A2716C23FF9411DAFA8EFB38FC7F.taxon	description	Linsley and Chemsak (1984) correctly considered the mesocoxal cavities closed in these three tribes. Actually, the mesocoxal cavities in all species of Desmiphorini (including Estolini and Apodasyini that were examined) have the same kind of mesocoxal cavities: closed, as in the middle image in figure 1 from Linsley and Chemsak (1984), and not as in the lower image of the same figure. Thus, Lacordaire could not be considering the former as open and the latter as closed. Linsley and Chemsak (1984) also separated Estolini from Apodasyini in their key based on the presence of a dorsal sulcus on the mesotibiae of the former, which is absent in the latter. Although currently Estolini and Apodasyini are synonyms of Desmiphorini (Monné 2017), the previous comments are pertinent, because Atelodesmis belongs to Estolini sensu Lacordaire (1872) and Linsley and Chemsak (1984) (mesotibiae sulcate dorsally), while Atelodesmis piperita belongs to Apodasyini (mesotibiae not sulcate dorsally). Consequently, E. piperita cannot be placed in Atelodesmis. It agrees much more closely with Eupogonius LeConte, 1852 (a genus that would belong to Apodasyini). Both Breuning (1974) and Linsley and Chemsak (1984) defined Eupogonius as having slender antennae, fringed with long setae, and lower eye lobes longer than the gena. Although usually they are distinctly long, the erect setae on the antennae of Eupogonius are somewhat variable in length. Also, the erect setae on the elytra are typically longer and more abundant. However, we believe that these features alone do not require a new genus for this species. Thus, we formally transfer Atelodesmis piperita to Eupogonius. Additionally, a new state record (Oaxaca), for the species, is recorded for Mexico.	en	Santos-Silva, Antonio, Wappes, James E.

Antennae 1.57 times elytral length, reaching elytral apex at apex of antennomere IX; with white pubescence not obscuring integument, ventrally sparser after IV, forming dorsal basal rings on antennomeres V – XI (less distinct toward XI); scape, pedicel and antennomeres III – IV with abundant, long, erect, dark setae throughout; antennomeres V – XI with long, erect dark setae ventrally, gradually sparser toward XI; antennal formula (ratio) based on length of antennomere III: scape = 0.76; pedicel = 0.11; IV = 1.05; V = 0.64; VI = 0.58; VII = 0.56; VIII = 0.52; IX = 0.46; X = 0.38; XI = 0.44. Thorax. Prothorax slightly wider than long, sides, at about middle, barely tuberculate. Pronotum with dense yellow pubescence obscuring integument, paler basally and distally, sparser near distal margin, absent on slightly elevated, drop-shaped, gibbosity on center of basal half, one moderately large, circular depression on each side of central gibbosity, another two laterally between base and lateral tubercle, and two more between lateral tubercle and distal margin (only a small one on left side); with moderately abundant, long, erect, yellow setae throughout, except on central gibbosity; each depression with one long, erect, dark seta. Sides of prothorax with dense yellow pubescence obscuring integument. Prosternum and mesoventrite with yellowish white pubescence obscuring integument, with long, erect yellowish white setae interspersed. Mesanepisternum, mesepimeron and metanepisternum with yellow pubescence obscuring integument; metaventrite with white pubescence partially obscuring integument, yellower close to coxal cavities laterally, with long, erect, white setae interspersed. Scutellum with paler yellow pubescence obscuring integument. Elytra. Coarsely, moderately sparsely punctate on basal third, gradually finer, sparser toward apex; with grayish white pubescence partially obscuring integument, with long, erect grayish white setae interspersed; apex slightly rounded. Legs. Femora and tibiae with yellowish white pubescence partially obscuring integument, with long, erect, sparse yellowish white setae interspersed. Abdomen. Ventrites with white pubescence nearly obscuring integument, except narrow, pale yellow pubescent band at apex of ventrites I – IV; with moderately sparse long, erect white setae; distal area of ventrite V transversely depressed, with apex truncate. Variation. Distal antennomeres vary from light to dark reddish brown; elytra light reddish brown; femora lighter reddish brown; pronotum with one additional circular depression near central gibbosity; laterobasal depression of pronotum distinctly smaller than the others at left side; part of lateral depressions of pronotum absent.

3567A2716C2CFF9511DAFBF5FBAAFA30.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Eupogonius giesberti sp. nov. differs from the other species assigned to the genus by the circular depressions on pronotum, which are absent in all other Eupogonius species. It is somewhat similar to E. pubescens LeConte, 1873, but differs by the pubescence on head and prothorax visibly contrasting with that of the elytra (not contrasting in E. pubescens). The circular depressions on the pronotum give the new species an appearance similar to some species of Mecas LeConte, 1852 (Phytoeciini).	en	Santos-Silva, Antonio, Wappes, James E.
