Classification, Natural History, and Evolution of the Subfamily Peloniinae O (Coleoptera: Cleroidea: Cleridae). Part IX.

Lectotype . ♂ . Here designated. Colombia , Ocaña, D. Landol (MNHN). CORPORAAL 1950: 290 . Paralectotype . 1 specimen . Colombia : Departamento de Norte de Santander , Ocaña, D. Landol (MNHN). In his description Schenkling indicates that there was more than 1 specimen available to him, but he did not tag one of these to be the name barer of this nominal species. Therefore, I invoke Recommendation 73F of the ICZN (1999) and designate a lectotype . D i a g n o s i s: Within the M. octonotata group, two punctiform black spots are found at the center of the elytral disc in specimens of M. testaspilota and in those of M. octonotata . However, in M. testaspilota specimens the spots are obliquely positioned across the elytral disc. In, M. octonotata specimens the spots are aligned in a straight line. R e d e s c r i p t i o n: Size: Length 8.5 mm ; width 3.2 mm . Form: As in Fig. 146 . Color: Predominantly light castaneous, angular dark castaneous 4 markings on elytral disc one behind humeral angle, one projecting backwards from elytral anterior margin, and 2 black spots behind middle of elytral disc. Head: Basal funicular antennomeres filiform, distal funicular antennomeres increasingly wider towards capitulum, capitulum about as long as combined length of funicular antennomeres, capitular antennomeres 9 and 10 oblong triangular ( Fig. 34 ), antennomere 11 obovate; frons wider than width of eye (EW/FW 35/50). Thorax: Pronotum (Fig. 68) slightly oblong (PW/PL 130/140), side margin with well-developed tubercle, disc widely subglabrous at middle; elytral asetiferous punctation subseriate, they extend to elytral apical 3/4 th (EL/EW 370/120). Abdomen: Pygidium subquadrate; 6 th visible sternite faintly emarginated in posterior margin; aedeagus, phallic apex ( Fig. 115 ) triangular. Figs 88-89 : Various organs.
