Gnomidolon pulchrum Martins, 1960

( Fig. 2 )

Gnomidolon pulchrum Martins, 1960: 7 ; Monné, 2005: 313 (cat.).

Martins (2006) called attention to the variation in color of G. pulchrum . The typical form, with the apical half of the elytra reddish, occurs in the south-central part of Paraguay ( San Pedro, Cordillera) and in northern Argentina. The form with the apical half of the elytra black is recorded for Brazil (Mato Grosso), but also occurs in northern Paraguay (Concepción). The typical form has been illustrated in color by Martins (1967: 210, est. 7, fig. 2; 2006: 169, fig. 183).

A female from Bolivia before us agrees with the form that shows the apical half of the elytra black, but the extremities of the elytra have a narrow transverse white stripe ( Fig. 2 ). Structurally, the specimen agrees morphologically with the other forms cited.

Specimens examined. BOLIVIA, Santa Cruz: Albanez (40 km S S(santa)C(cruz), “Laspetas”, fêmea, 6.XII.2011, J. L. Aramayo col. (ACMS).
