Teleutias brevifolius
Brunner
von Wattenwyl, 1895
Bliastes viridifrons
Piza, 1976
syn. nov.
This species, described from a male
holotype
from northern
Brazil
, does not belong to
Bliaste
s (
Cocconotini
) but to
Teleutias
(Teleutiini)
. It coincides with most diagnostic characters of this genus. Moreover, it is exceedingly similar to
T. brevifolius
from eastern
Ecuador
or northeastern
Peru
. Including details, like the greenish coloration of the face, which is well preserved in Piza’s specimen and mentioned in Beier’s diagnosis, the subgenital plate, apparently the cerci (the internal claw in Piza’s specimen is not visible on the photos but mentioned in the description) and measurements. The respective localities are also not too far away.
Triencentrus brasilianus
(Piza, 1980)
comb. nov
.
Calamoptera brasiliana
Piza, 1980
The female
holotype
coincides better with diagnostic characters of
Triencentrus
(Platyphyllini)
than
Calamoptera
(Cocconotini)
. It is fairly similar to the female
holotype
of
T. nigrospinosus
from northern
Brazil
, which also has a fairly long and slender ovipositor, but differs in the elevated metazona of the pronotum.
Calamoptera lydiamarthae
Piza, 1980
, described in the same paper, is possibly a
Triencentrus
as well, but its
type
specimen is missing or lost.
