摘要

Three new sap beetles species from Brazil from the subfamily Carpophilinae: Nitops (Nitops) cereisp.n., N. (s.str.) modicus sp.n. and N. (s,sti.)piloso-cerei sp.n. are described and the mature larvae of two of them are also described in the paper. Notes on the composition of the subgenus Nitops Murray, 1864 sensu stricto and bionomy of the considered group are given. Eight species: Carpophilm craigheadi Dobson, 1972, C. curtipes Sharp, 1899, C. distinctus Reitter, 1873, C. megalopus Dobson, 1972, C.languidus Erichson, 1843, C. ochraceus Erichson, 1843, C. sordidus Erichson, 1847 and C. vitraci Grouvelle, 1902 are transferred to genus Nitops. Carpophilus weyersi Grouvelle, 1900 is transferred to genus Taeniolinus Kirejtshuk, 1998.
