Pseudosparna paulista sp. nov. is similar to P. boliviana Monné &amp; Monné, 2011 (see photographs in original description and on Bezark 2023), but differs as follows: elytral apex obliquely truncate, with sutural angle not projected; the longitudinal light band on the elytra is sinuous, narrowed on its anterior third, and inclined toward epipleural margin on its posterior region, not reaching elytral apex. In P. boliviana, the elytral apex is concave centrally, making the sutural angle projected, and the light band on the elytra is straight and reaches the elytral apex. The new species differs from P. luteolineata Mermudes &amp; Monné, 2009 (see photographs in original description and on Bezark 2023) by the dark pubescent area on the pronotum distinctly wider, about 0.7 times width of anterior margin of the prothorax (narrower, at most half of width of anterior margin of the prothorax in P. luteolineata), and the light pubescent band sinuous and projected toward epipleural margin on its posterior region (straight and only dorsal posteriorly in P. luteolineata).</p> <p>According to Barbo et al. (2012), who described a new species of Bothrops Wagler, 1824 (Reptilia, Viperidae, Crotalinae) from Vitória island: “The new species is known only from the type locality, Vitoria Island (23º44’44” to 23º45’00”S and 45º01’01” to 45º00’27”W), Ilhabela Archipelago, Brazil. In this archipelago, Vitória is the easternmost island, located ca. 23 km east of S„o Sebasti„o Island, and ca. 30 km southeast of Ubatuba, northern coast of S„o Paulo, southeastern Brazil. Vitoria Island has about 220 ha, with a maximum elevation of ca. 200 m above sea level and with the predominant vegetation being Atlantic forest.”</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B75187D5BC75507AD3E3F92DFC784DC9	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Holotype female from BOLIVIA, La Paz: Sul Yungas, Valle Chulumani, 1660 m, “centro cerca rio,” no date indicated, W. Hana Garth leg. (MZSP).</p> <p>Etymology. The epithet is a noun in apposition referring to the type locality of the species.</p> <p>Remarks. Xenocona chulumani sp. nov. is similar to X. forsteri (Tippmann, 1960) but differs as follows (female): centrobasal crest of the elytra with yellowish-brown tuft of yellowish-brown setae apically; anterior sixth of the elytra with transverse yellowish-gray pubescent band; arched yellowish-gray pubescent band on anterior half of the elytra wider and fused with inner apex of the oblique grayish-white pubescent band located about middle of the elytra; inner side of the oblique grayish-white pubescent band located about middle of the elytra with oblique dark-brown pubescent macula; dorsal surface of posterior quarter without oblique dark-brown pubescent band; and apex of ventrite 5 with slightly concave emargination centrally. In X. forsteri (see photographs in Tippmann (1960) and Bezark 2023), the apex of the centrobasal crest of the elytra has tuft of blackish setae, anterior region of the elytra without transverse yellowish-gray pubescent band, arched yellowish-gray pubescent band on anterior half of the elytra narrower and fused with the outer apex of the oblique grayish-white pubescent band located about middle of the elytra, inner side of the oblique grayish-white pubescent band located about middle of the elytra without dark-brown pubescent macula, dorsal surface of posterior quarter with oblique dark-brown pubescent band, apex of ventrite 5 with distinct V-shaped emargination centrally.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B75187D5BC7E5077D3E3FB38FBED4AE9	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
