Remarks.
Wappes et al. (2006) recorded
Callideriphus grossipes grossipes
for
Bolivia
; but these speci- mens (illustrated in Wappes’ unpublished manual of Bolivian
Cerambycidae
) show two males, one with wide, square, black patch on pronotal disc, the other with entirely black pronotum. The male Floripondio specimen has an irregular medium-sized patch on pronotum, the female similar to Wappes’ first (
sic.
) male. Napp and Martins (2002a) state that specimens with wide, black patches on the pronotum corre- spond to
Callideriphus signaticollis
Melzer, 1934
, which they treat as a junior synonym of
Callideriphus grossipes flavipennis
Melzer, 1934
. Here, the authors refrain from choosing a subspecies, or, maybe, naming a new species, for the same arguments presented below for
Eryphus picticollis
(Gounelle, 1911)
.
