6C7F3F1B6C68FF8BDEC6FD03FC66F474.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Bates (1872) included Tethlimmena in Eroschemini, and it has been kept in this tribe by many authors (e. g. Aurivillius 1912, Maes 1998, Hovore 2006, Swift et al. 2010, Maes et al. 2010, Bezark 2021 b). Tethlimmena Bates, 1872 appears in Monné (2021) and Tavakilian & Chevillotte (2021) in Oxycoleini. According to Martins & Galileo (2003) (translated): “ In 1911, Gounelle described Tethlimmena gahani. Tethlimmena was allocated in the tribe Eroschemini, constituted by species unique to Australia and similar to Lycidae; he based his description in a female with abdominal ventrites modified [Figs 16, 19, 24, 31, 33, 37], therefore, different from females of Eroschemini (or of Molorchini), which have the abdominal ventrites normal [Figs. 6 – 7]. Thus, the original allocation of Tethlimmena was wrong. ” However, it was Bates (1872) who included Tethlimmena in Eroschemini, although the abdominal ventrites of the female of the type-species, T. aliena Bates, 1872, are modified. Unfortunately, Martins & Galileo (2003) were not very clear about the inclusion of Tethlimmena in Oxycoleini. Júlio (1997) considered Tethlimmena as belonging to Eroschemini (translated): “ In this work we described two new species from Brazil, propose the synonymy between O. latipennis (Zajciw, 1964) and Tethlimmena gahani var. tristis Melzer, 1933 and two new combinations, O. tristis (Melzer, 1933) (from Tethlimmena) and O. gahani (Gounelle, 1911) (from Tethlimmena) thus, the Eroschemini being restricted to Asia, Australia and Central America. ” We think that Tethlimmena must be allocated to Oxycoleini, and that the transference, poorly established in Martins & Galileo (2003) is correct. Tethlimmena differs from Oxycoleus by the elytra without humeral carina, not dehiscent, at least slightly widened toward the apex, which is rounded. The antennomeres in males (Figs 4 – 5) and females of the type species are distinctly widened toward the apex and distinctly flattened. However, in males of T. basalis Gahan, 1895 the antennomeres are distinctly less expanded toward the apex. This may suggest they belong to different genera. Unfortunately, we have no specimens of T. basalis and have only a single male of T. aliena Bates, 1872. Therefore, further studies are needed to confirm or not that they belong to the same genus.	en	Nascimento, Francisco Eriberto De L., Santos-Silva, Antonio (2021): The interesting and complex tribe Oxycoleini (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae): a new genus, new species, and taxonomic notes.

6C7F3F1B6C68FF89DEC6F9E4FDDDF104.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Oxycoleus obscurus was included among the species without elytral carina and with the antennomeres compressed in the key from Júlio (1997). Unfortunately, the type series, holotype male and three paratypes (2 males, 1 female) were destroyed during the fire in 2018 at the MNRJ. Even so, the original description, photograph of a male paratype in the original description, and photograph of the holotype male, taken by Steven W. Lingafelter (Fig. 1), strongly suggest that the species belongs to Tethlimmena. As the original description is not easily accessible for consultation, and is written in Portuguese, we transcribe it here in English: “ Male. Integument predominantly dark brown. Are black: dorsal surface of the head, except the clypeus, 2 longitudinal bands on sides of the pronotum, and apex of the mandibles. Are yellow: clypeus, mouthparts, ventral surface of the head, prothorax, except the two black bands, and apex of the antennomere XI. Dorsal surface of the head finely punctate, with fine, decumbent brown pubescence, and sparse erect setae interspersed. Antennae just reach the elytral apex. Scape short, as long as antennomere IV. Antennomere V the longest; III – IX flattened, widened toward outer apex; XI fusiform. Antennomeres with fine grayish pubescence. II – VI with sparse dark brown setae ventrally. Pronotum finely punctate, with fine, decumbent brown pubescence, and erect setae interspersed. Scutellum subtriangular. Elytra not carinate, reaching the apex of the abdomen, slightly narrowed centrally and widening toward the apex, which are rounded externally. Punctation coarse and dense. Surface and margins with fine, decumbent brown pubescence and erect, sparse setae of same color interspersed. Just slightly dehiscent at extreme apex. Abdomen cylindrical slightly narrowed backward from ventrite III, shiny and setose. Legs densely pilose. Metafemora with elongate-fusiform club. Meso- and metatibiae slightly arched, these last at distal half. Female. Antennae do not reach the elytral apex. Abdomen flattened; ventrite I strongly widened posteriorly. Dimensions (mm) – respectively male and female: total length, 5.6 – 5.9 and 6.2; prothoracic length, 0.9 – 1.1 and 1.0; maximum width of the prothorax, 1.1 – 1.2 and 1.4; elytral length, 4.3 – 4.4 and 4.8; humeral width, 1.3 – 1.5 and 1.6. Type material – Holotype male: BRAZIL – GOIÁS, Jataí, I / 1976, O. Roppa col. (MNRJ). Paratypes: 1 male, same data as holotype; 1 male, MATO GROSSO, Juína, X / 1987, B. Silva col.; 1 female, same data as holotype, except XII / 1972, F. M. Oliveira col. (MNRJ). Remarks – Oxycoleus obscurus sp. n. is similar to O. tristis (Melzer, 1933): antennomeres flattened; elytra not carinate, reaching the abdominal apex, and metatibiae slightly arched on posterior half. It differs from O. tristis, besides the features pointed out in the key [“ Pronotum bicolorous; clypeus yellow, ” leading to O. obscurus; “ Pronotum unicolorous; clypeus dark brown, ” leading to O. tristis and O. gahani]: elytral apex externally rounded; femoral club elongate-fusiform and spine on apex of the metatibiae slightly developed, not reaching the apex of the tarsomere I. In O tristis: elytra with notch in the middle of the apical edge; femoral club subglobose and spine on apex of the metatibiae developed, surpassing the apex of the tarsomere I. Etymology – allusive to the general appearance of the body. ”	en	Nascimento, Francisco Eriberto De L., Santos-Silva, Antonio (2021): The interesting and complex tribe Oxycoleini (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae): a new genus, new species, and taxonomic notes.

6C7F3F1B6C6AFF89DEC6FC35FC98F45D.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Júlio (1997) provided a key to species of Oxycoleus, which already indicated this genus was composed of two genera, except for the shape of the antennomeres (translated): “ 1. Elytra with carina; antennomeres cylindrical; ” “ Elytra without carina; antennomeres compressed. ” However, the wide and sinuous shape of the elytral apices, easily separates Wappesia from others related genera.	en	Nascimento, Francisco Eriberto De L., Santos-Silva, Antonio (2021): The interesting and complex tribe Oxycoleini (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae): a new genus, new species, and taxonomic notes.

6C7F3F1B6C6AFF8EDEC6F9CFFD85F094.taxon	discussion	Remarks. According to Melzer (1933) (translated): “ I have a specimen, collected by Sr. A. Maller in Mafra (Santa Catarina), and abstracting from the coloration, agrees well with the original description of this species [T. gahani]. Uniform black in color, only the neck and gula are yellowish-red and the anterior edge of the prosternum is rustyred. Although the difference in color is notable, I still think it is just a new variety ... ” Later, Zajciw (1964) described Merionoeda (Merionoeda) latipennis based on two specimens also from Mafra and also collected by A. Maller. The holotype male and the allotype female were destroyed during the fire in 2018 at the MNRJ. Júlio (1997) provided a new rank for T. tristis, transferred it to Oxycoleus, and considered M. (M.) latipennis as its junior synonym. In the key to species of Oxycoleus, Júlio (1997) separated O. tristis from O. gahani as follows (translated): “ Pronotum black; elytra dark brown, opaque, ” leading to O. tristis; “ Pronotum reddish-brown; elytra bluish, shiny, ” leading to O. gahani. However, Gounelle (1911) described the color of the female holotype as follows (translated): “ Black, thorax, anterior and middle coxae rufous, labrum testaceous. ” He also described the elytra as opaque and with also opaque subtle pubescence. These two affirmations by Gounelle (1911), apparently, contradict the information about T. gahani in the key by Júlio (1997). Unfortunately, all specimens examined by Júlio (1997) belonged to the MNRJ and were destroyed during the fire in 2018. Thus, it is not possible to confirm whether or not they belonged to T. gahani.	en	Nascimento, Francisco Eriberto De L., Santos-Silva, Antonio (2021): The interesting and complex tribe Oxycoleini (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae): a new genus, new species, and taxonomic notes.

6C7F3F1B6C6DFF8EDEC6FAB1FEB5F56B.taxon	discussion	Remarks. According to Martins & Galileo (2005), the antennomeres III – V are cylindrical in the holotype of this species, the only known specimen. Examining the photograph of the holotype in the original description, as well as that on Bezark (2021 a), the information appears to be true. This feature would include the species in Oxycoleus. However, the elytra not dehiscent, wide and sinuous apically, without humeral carina, include the species in Wappesia. As female specimens are unknown, it is not possible to know if the antennomeres are also cylindrical in this sex. Nevertheless, the shape of the antennomeres in this species suggests this feature is variable in the genus. Therefore, the shape of the antennomeres would not be a generic feature. This conclusion can only be confirmed or refuted by studying specimens of both sexes of all species. According to the original description, the holotype belongs to the FSCA. However, it actually belongs to the MNKM collection.	en	Nascimento, Francisco Eriberto De L., Santos-Silva, Antonio (2021): The interesting and complex tribe Oxycoleini (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae): a new genus, new species, and taxonomic notes.

6C7F3F1B6C6DFF8EDEC6FC85FDEDF680.taxon	discussion	Remarks. As seen above, one of the features pointed out by Júlio (1997) to separate T. gahani from T. tristis was the color of the prothorax. However, this feature is variable intraspecifically at least in some species of Oxycoleus. Therefore, this variation is expected to also occurs in Wappesia. It is probable that Melzer (1933) was correct: Tethlimmena tristis being just a chromatic variation of Tethlimmena gahani. See remarks on W. tristis. The male illustrated by Júlio (1997) has the antennae distinctly longer than in the holotype male of Merionoeda (Merionoeda) latipennis, and also than in the male of W. tristis (Fig. 3). This may reinforce that Oxycoleus gahani sensu Júlio (1997) belongs to a different species.	en	Nascimento, Francisco Eriberto De L., Santos-Silva, Antonio (2021): The interesting and complex tribe Oxycoleini (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae): a new genus, new species, and taxonomic notes.

6C7F3F1B6C6DFF8CDEC6F819FB29F104.taxon	description	Nearly all species Merionoeda (Merionoeda) have distinct spicules on the metatibiae (according to Pascoe (1858), they are “ serrated and spurred ”), which are absent in the species of Oxycoleus. However, as there are species lacking the spicules on the metatibiae (e. g. M. glabra Yokoi & Niisato, 2012), the differentiation between Merionoeda (Merionoeda) and Oxycoleus based on this feature is problematic. The sixth ventrite (sternite VIII) in the species of Oxycoleus is distinctly exposed at the abdominal apex. However, it is also distinctly exposed at least in Merionoeda (Merionoeda) africana aethiopica Adlbauer, 1994, the only species examined by us. Therefore, it is another feature that does not help in separating Oxycoleus from Merionoeda (Merionoeda). For the time being, Oxycoleus is maintained as a distinct genus, until a greater number of species of Merionoeda (Merionoeda) are studied. Moreover, it seems evident to us that Merionoeda (including the three subgenera) should be excluded from Stenopterini Gistel, 1848 and included in Oxycoleini Martins & Galileo, 2003, due to the abdominal setation on the ventrites 2 and 3 of the females. Oxycoleus differs from Merionoeda (Macromolorchus) Pic, 1922 especially by the absence of the tuft of setae on the metatibiae (present in nearly all species of Merionoeda (Macromolorchus )), and by the absence of a dense tuft of long setae on the ventral surface of the metafemoral club (present in all species of Merionoeda (Macromolorchus), although, sometimes, not dense). Finally, Oxycoleus differs from Merionoeda (Ocytasia) Pascoe, 1869 by the mesotarsomeres of the males without modifications (mesotarsomeres I and II distinctly projected on the outer side in Merionoeda (Ocytasia )), and meso- and metatarsi with similar appearance (strongly different in Merionoeda (Ocytasia), in which the mesotarsi are much wider than the metatarsi). Even with the transference of one species from Oxycoleus to Tethlimmena, and three to Wappesia gen. nov., the genus still includes two groups of species: 1. Elytra strongly narrowed toward apex, which is at least somewhat acute; 2. Elytra not strongly narrowed toward apex, which is rounded. In the group of species with rounded apex, the humeral carina may be complete, from base to apex, as in O. carinatipennis (Zajciw, 1964), or present only on posterior half or apically or even absent as in O. laetus Júlio, 1997. It is possible that there are species of two genera still included in Oxycoleus: one with acute elytral apex; another with rounded elytral apex. However, the position of the humeral carina in O. flavipes (Figs 25, 30), distinctly becoming dorsal after middle, suggests that these two groups of species belong to Oxycoleus. For complete references on Oxycoleus, see Monné (2021) and Tavakilian & Chevillotte (2021).	en	Nascimento, Francisco Eriberto De L., Santos-Silva, Antonio (2021): The interesting and complex tribe Oxycoleini (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae): a new genus, new species, and taxonomic notes.

6C7F3F1B6C6FFF83DEC6FC34FBBAF0A8.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Oxycoleus mirabilis is similar to O. bicolor (Melzer, 1934) and has been confused with it. However, it differs as follows: antennomeres V – XI distinctly modified; pro- and mesofemoral club not black; metafemoral club distinctly wider; tarsomeres mostly light. In O. bicolor (see photograph of the holotype on Bezark 2021 a), the antennomeres are not modified, pro- and mesofemoral club black, metafemoral club distinctly narrower, and the tarsomeres are dark. It is also somewhat similar to O. gratiosus (Bates, 1885), especially by the shape of the metafemoral club, but differs by the antennomeres modified (not modified in O. gratiosus).	en	Nascimento, Francisco Eriberto De L., Santos-Silva, Antonio (2021): The interesting and complex tribe Oxycoleini (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae): a new genus, new species, and taxonomic notes.

6C7F3F1B6C60FF86DEC6FCD8FB31F03B.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific Latin epithet “ similis, ” means similar, and refers to the similarity in appearance between this species and other species of the genus.	en	Nascimento, Francisco Eriberto De L., Santos-Silva, Antonio (2021): The interesting and complex tribe Oxycoleini (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae): a new genus, new species, and taxonomic notes. Zootaxa 5060 (3): 353-370, DOI: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5060.3.3
6C7F3F1B6C60FF86DEC6FCD8FB31F03B.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Oxycoleus similis is similar to O. brachypterus (Clarke, 2008), but differs as follows: elytra proportionally longer, about 2.9 times pronotal length (Figs 15, 21); metafemoral peduncle proportionally slender and longer, and metafemoral club more abruptly widened dorsally and ventrally (Figs 19, 23). In O. brachypterus, the elytra area proportionally shorter, about 2.6 times pronotal length (Figs 32, 34), metafemoral peduncle proportionally thicker and shorter, metafemoral club less abruptly widened ventrally, and not widened dorsally (Figs 24, 32, 34). The new species differs from O. piceus Giesbert, 1993 (see photographs of the holotype on Bezark 2021 a) by the dense pubescence on vertex and sides of the pronotum (absent in O. piceus), elytra with a few long erect setae (distinctly more abundant in O. piceus), and metafemoral club narrower (distinctly wider in O. piceus). Oxycoleus similis differs from O. clavipes Lacordaire, 1869 (see photographs on Bezark 2021 a) by the elytra less triangular (more triangular in O. clavipes), and femora entirely dark (bicolorous in O. clavipes); from O. culicinus (Bates, 1870) (see photograph of the holotype on Bezark 2021 a) by the elytra less triangular (more triangular in O. culicinus), and metafemoral club proportionally narrower (wider in O. culicinus); and from O. gratiosus (Bates, 1885) (see photograph of the lectotype on Bezark 2021 a) especially by the metafemoral club distinctly narrower (strongly widened in male of O. gratiosus). The new species is also similar to Equescollum birai Nascimento, Botero & Lezama 2019 by the integument color and general appearance. However, the lack of a projection at the scape apex, easily separates O. similis from E. birai in which has such a projection (and is a generic character).	en	Nascimento, Francisco Eriberto De L., Santos-Silva, Antonio (2021): The interesting and complex tribe Oxycoleini (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae): a new genus, new species, and taxonomic notes.

6C7F3F1B6C65FF84DEC6FD28FC45F7BC.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Oxycoleus flavipes was described based on a single female from Bolivia (Santa Cruz). Clarke & Zamalloa (2018) examined males of this species, but they did not describe them. Males and females (Figs 30 – 31) are very similar, and both have some chromatic variation: the dark transverse band on dorsal surface of head may be absent; the size of the dark maculae on the pronotum is variable, and may be small; the ventral surface of metathorax may be partially brown; and some ventrites may be yellowish brown.	en	Nascimento, Francisco Eriberto De L., Santos-Silva, Antonio (2021): The interesting and complex tribe Oxycoleini (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae): a new genus, new species, and taxonomic notes.

6C7F3F1B6C67FF85DEC6F9ACFAADF521.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Júlio (1997) compared O. laetus with O. ruficollis (Zajciw, 1964). However, the species appears to be more similar to O. brasiliensis (Tippmann, 1953). Comparing the photographs of the holotype male of O. laetus and O. brasiliensis (wrongly described as a female, see Zajciw (1964) and Martins & Galileo (2003 )), the most reliable difference appears to be the length of the antennae: longer in males of O. brasiliensis (the antennae extend about a third of their length beyond the body – Tippmann (1953 )) than in O. laetus (antennae surpassing elytral apex by the two last antennomeres – Júlio (1997 )). Unfortunately, the holotype and paratypes of O. laetus, as well as the holotype of O. brasiliensis were destroyed during the fire in 2018 at the MNRJ. Júlio (1997) also reported on the elytra (translated): “ elytral carina restricted to a short shining area on apical 1 / 6. ” However, the two females examined by us have no elytral carina even on the apical area.	en	Nascimento, Francisco Eriberto De L., Santos-Silva, Antonio (2021): The interesting and complex tribe Oxycoleini (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae): a new genus, new species, and taxonomic notes.
