Description of a new genus and species of the tribe Parmenini, with nomenclatural notes (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) Author Monné, Marcela L.

Monné & Giesbert (1992: 252) considered Caudelytra quadrispinosa Franz, 1954 as a synonym of Mecynome aenescens Bates, 1885 . However, examination of material from El Salvador , Department of Santa Ana (the type locality of C. quadrispinosa is Monte Cristo, in the same Department), allowed us to propose that this species be revalidated and transferred to the genus Mecynome . Mecynome quadrispinosus ( Fig. 4 ) differs from M. aenescens ( Fig. 5 ) by the elytral apices projected in a long and acute spine, and the fifth urotergite with a deep median, arcuate emargination and bispinose at the angles. In M. aenescens , based on the description of Bates (1885: 335) , the elytral apices are subacuminate, and the fifth urotergite is rounded at its apex. Specimens examined .
