Pyticara simoata OPITZ , nov.sp. ( Figs 6, 12 View Figs 1-20 , 37 View Figs 36-39 , 40 View Fig )
H o l o t y p e: ♀. Brazil, Cantareira, S. Paulo, 10-IX-1933, J Balik (FSCA).
D i a g n o s i s: The anterior margin of the 9 th antennomere is very sinuous and the elytra are very explanate. These characteristics will distinguish the members of this species from congeners.
D e s c r i p t i o n: Size: Length 15.5 mm; width 7.0 mm. Form: As in Fig. 37 View Figs 36-39 . Color: Cranium black; pronotal disc mostly black, humeral angle, venter yellow; mesoscutellum black; elytral disc mostly brown, epipleural margin broadly yellow; legs black. Head: As wide as anterior margin of pronotum; antennal funicle moderately compacted ( Fig. 6 View Figs 1-20 ) antennomere 9 longer than funicle, anterior margin distinctly sinuous; antennal carina very prominent; EW/FW 45/53. Thorax: Pronotum transverse, side margin rounded ( Fig. 12 View Figs 1-20 ); PW/PL 185/170; elytral disc strongly explanate at sides, boldly increasing in diameter from base to elytral half; EL/EW 700//200. Abdomen: Female pygidium not incised at distal margin.
D i s t r i b u t i o n ( Fig. 40 View Fig ): Known only from the type locality.
E t y m o l o g y: The trivial name simoata is a Latin adjective derived from simo (= flatten). I refer to the flat body form of this beetle.
