Odontogracilis copei sp. nov. is similar to O. cracentis (Chemsak &amp; Noguera, 1997) (Figs 6–15), but differs as follows: anterocentral area of pronotum without pubescence; elytral blackish area reaching humerus and involving scutellum; antennal tubercles approximate basally; frons with coarser punctures, without pubescence close to clypeus, and proportionally narrower; profemoral peduncles distinctly slender; and general pubescence white. In O. cracentis, the anterocentral area of the pronotum has pubescence in both sexes, the elytral blackish area does not reach the humerus or scutellum, the distance between the antennal tubercles is distinctly wider basally in females, the frons has finer punctures, has pubescence close to clypeus, and is proportionally wider, the profemoral peduncle is distinctly wider, and the general pubescence is golden in both sexes. It differs from O. exilis (Fisher, 1947) (see photographs on Bezark 2025 and in Lingafelter et al. 2014), especially by the femora and tibiae not black and the tarsi not distinctly bicolorous; and from O. gracilis (Klug, 1825) (see photographs on Bezark 2025 and drawing in Klug 1825) and O. violaceus (Santos-Silva, Bezark &amp; Martins, 2012) (see photographs on Bezark 2025 and in Santos-Silva et al. 2012) by the absence of dark blue or violaceous integumental areas (present in O. gracilis and O. violaceus) and the anterior area of the elytra entirely dark (not dark on sides of scutellum in O. gracilis and O. violaceus).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03858E1E0E46FFAA69D8182637727989	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

MEXICO, Veracruz: 14–16 km W. Sntecompn [Sontecomapan], 1 female, 10–13.IV.1993, J.E. Wappes leg. (CSCA) .</p><p>Remarks. In the redescription of this species, Giesbert &amp; Chemsak (1997) described the gibbosity on the anterior region of the elytra as “feebly gibbose near base on each side of suture.” However, we believe that it cannot be described as “feebly gibbose” because it is very distinct (Fig. 18) in the female examined. Apparently, the shape of the anterior gibbosity is variable in this species. Therefore, the key may lead the reader to an incorrect identification. LeConte (1873) also described the gibbosity as “paulo gibbosis [slightly gibbous].” This species is variable and may have the head, prothorax, and about anterior half of elytra reddish or orangish, or has these areas entirely black. Also, the length of the apical spine of the antennomere III is very variable: with spicule or with short but distinct spine. Giesbert &amp; Chemsak (1997) also reported: “ Euderces reichei, with an unusually wide range from Ohio, Indiana and southern Illinois, southeast to Florida and west to Texas, through San Luis Potosí to Veracruz, Mexico (see Fig. 6), has several character states which appear to intergrade clinally. Northern and eastern U. S. populations differ slightly by the dentate apices of the third and fourth antennal segments, and by the smooth, shining integument of the body. In Texas and south into Mexico, the antennae have fine, short spines and somewhat more alutaceous integument. Individuals seen from San Luis Potosí and Veracruz, Mexico differ by an increase in melanism: the integument in this part of the range is often all black and only feebly alutaceous.”</p><p>We decided to redescribe the species, based on a specimen from Mexico with predominantly black integument, in order to provide more detailed information and avoid errors in future identifications. Additionally, we are providing photographs of the specimen to facilitate identification.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03858E1E0E42FFA769D81EFF354279A5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Total length, 9.50/10.00; prothoracic length, 1.60/1.90; anterior prothoracic width, 1.85/2.00; posterior prothoracic width, 2.20/2.45; maximum prothoracic width, 2.45/2.85; humeral width, 3.10/3.40; elytral length, 6.90/7.00.</p><p>Type material. Female holotype from PANAMA, Panama: Cerro Azul / Jefé, 21 Jan 1996, F. T. Hovore leg. (CSCA). Male paratype from PANAMA, Panama: 14 km N El Llano, 29.VII.1990, F. T. Hovore leg. (MZSP) .</p><p>Etymology. The species is dedicated to the late Miguel A. Monné in recognition of his outstanding contributions to scientific knowledge of American Cerambycidae .</p><p>Remarks. Sternacutus monnei sp. nov. is similar to S. akersae Lanuza-Garay &amp; Rivera, 2024 (see photographs on Bezark 2025 and in Lanuza-Garay &amp; Rivera 2024), but differs as follows: maximum diameter of upper eye lobes about as wide as basal diameter of scape; distance between upper eye lobes almost three times maximum diameter of one upper lobe; pronotum without two circular dark pubescent maculae; elytra without dark subtrapezoidal macula just after middle; and elytral centrobasal crest conical and without erect setae. In S. akersae, the maximum diameter of the upper eye lobes is distinctly wider than the basal diameter or the scape, the distance between the upper eye lobes equal to the maximum diameter of one upper lobe, the pronotum has two circular dark pubescent maculae, elytra with dark subtrapezoidal macula just after middle, and the centrobasal crest of the elytra is elongated and has arched dark setae. It differs from S. annulicornis (White, 1855) (see photographs on Bezark 2025), especially by the pronotum without four circular whitish pubescent maculae (present in S. annulicornis, sometimes anterior and posterior one fused) and by the centrobasal crest of elytra not elongated and without long and decumbent setae (present in S. annulicornis); and from S. odettae Roguet, 2022 (see photographs on Bezark 2025 and in Roguet 2022) by the prothorax slightly divergent from anterior constriction to lateral tubercles (more distinctly divergent in S. odettae), the narrowest area of the prosternal process is approximately half the width of the procoxa (about one-third in S. odettae), mesoventral process slightly narrow than half the width of the mesocoxae (distinctly narrower than half in S. odettae), and the apex of the mesoventral process concave apically (truncate in S. odettae).</p><p>Sternacutus comprises species with very different features. Among these features, the shape of the centrobasal crest of the elytra is one of the most notable. Although the female of the new species has a centrobasal crest of the elytra very similar to that of other species of the genus, the male paratype’s crest (Fig. 37) is very aberrant. We believe there are specimens with intermediate forms between the two extremes represented by the holotype and the paratype. Using the key from Monné et al. (2020), the male paratype would fall under couplet “12,” with Hamatastus Gilmour, 1957 . Hamatastus is another genus including species with very different features (e.g. body shape); however, in this genus, the lateral tubercles of the prothorax are never located near the lateroposterior angles.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03858E1E0E4EFFA269D81DAC36A07819	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
