Key to species of Calligrapha View in CoL with contrasting pattern of pale spots on dark background
1. Hypomeral suture obliterated. Apical expansion of penis clearly narrower than median tubular area ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 i–j). Unknown origin...................................................................... Calligrapha pavimentata sp. nov.
-. Hypomeral suture impressed. Apical expansion of penis as broad or broader than median tubular area ( Figs 2 View FIGURE 2 a–h, 4a–d)... 2
2. Area around scutellum pale ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 a). Double punctation on pale markings, including minute punctures and scattered dark punctures, the latter as large or larger than those on dark parts. Penis short, broad, with preapical lateral teeth very short, conspicuously produced backwards ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 g–h). From southern US (Arizona and Texas) to El Salvador ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 b)........................................................................................... Calligrapha multiguttata Stål
-. Periscutellar area dark ( Figs 1 View FIGURE 1 b–c, 5a–c). Single punctation on pale markings, weaker than on dark areas. Penis slender, with
prominent lateral acute teeth ( Figs 2 View FIGURE 2 a–f, 4a–d).............................................................. 3 3. Numerous spots on elytra (more than 15) ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 b–c)........................................................ 4
-. Discrete number of spots (10–14) on elytra ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 a–c)........................................................ 5
4. Epipleura completely dark. Transverse posthumeral area on elytra devoid of pale maculae. Basal marginal spot close to scutellum bilobed ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 b). Legs and antennae pale rufous. Endemic to Mexico ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 c).............. Calligrapha barda (Say)
-. Epipleura pale basally. Transverse posthumeral area on elytra with one spot beyond third interval. Basal marginal spot close to scutellum with three lobes ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 c). Legs and antennae dark brown. Endemic to Mexico ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 c)................................................................................................... Calligrapha zapoteca sp. nov.
5. Each elytron with ten pale spots; punctures on pale areas nearly as strong as on dark areas ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 a). Longitudinal arrangements of punctures on elytra confused on disc and lateral declivity. From southern Mexico to El Salvador and Honduras ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 a)....................................................................... Calligrapha vigintimaculata (Chevrolat)
-. Elytra with 12–14 pale spots, unpunctured or with minute punctures, smaller than these on dark parts of elytra ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 b–c). Longitudinal arrangements of punctures on elytra relatively well indicated along suture, lateral declivity and basal half of elytra on dark areas................................................................................... 6
6. Legs and antennae blackish. Each elytron with 12–14 trapezoidal spots; transverse posthumeral area devoid of spots ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 c). Disc of pronotum coarsely punctured. From Central Mexico ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 a).................... Calligrapha stillatipennis Stål
-. Legs and antennae dark rufous. Each elytron with twelve medium-sized roundish spots; transverse posthumeral area with one median spot ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 b). Disc of pronotum with fine punctures. From Guatemala and Nicaragua ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 a)............................................................................................ Calligrapha panzoensis Bechyné
