New species of Colyphus Spinola (Coleoptera: Cleridae: Clerinae) from Central America, with taxonomic and distributional notes on some others

摘要

Colyphus ska n. sp. is described from Costa Rica; Colyphus lamed n. sp. is described from Honduras. The following new combinations are proposed: Colyphus guatemalensis (Gorham), new combination, Colyphuspictus (Gorham), new combination, and Colyphus rutilus (Gorham), new combination. Ekis's (1977) revision of'Colyphus Spinola, 1841 brought the number of species in this strictly New World genus to sixteen. Ekis defined the genus based on two characteristics: a quadrate or transverse gular process witha basal concavity, and/or the tegmen of the male with the apical region sagittate.
