Mesomphalia pyramidata Boheman, 1850: 230 View in CoL ; 1856: 39; 1862: 105; Gemminger & Harold, 1876: 3634; Wagener, 1881: 75; Spaeth, 1914: 33; Blackwelder, 1946: 738; Borowiec, 1999: 117.

Remarks. From study of the description and type specimens (at BMNH; Figs. 152–153 View FIGURES 148 – 155 ), this species does not belong in Mesomphalia .

Mesomphalia pyramidata shares the following characters with Cyrtonota : five basal antennal segments and pronotum glabrous, prosternal collar without lateral projections at apical margin or median transverse sulcus. These features are lacking in Mesomphalia . We therefore place this species in Cyrtonota , as C. pyramidata (Boheman, 12850) comb. nov. Cyrtonota pyramidata can also be distinguished from Mesomphalia species by: color pattern of black with red spots and strongly punctate elytra; frontoclypeus not swollen; absence of tufts of setae on pronotum and elytra.

Geographical distribution. Described from “ Columbia ( Boheman, 1850).

Material examined. Holotype: COLOMBIA: “ Nova Granada ” ( BMNH).
