Taxonomic revision of the West ern Hemisphere checkered beetle genus Priocera KIRBY (Coleoptera, Cleridae, Clerinae) Author Opitz, Weston text Linzer biologische Beiträge 2021 52 2 1145 1255 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.5038854 0253-116X 5038854 Priocera marginicollis ( CHEVROLAT , 1843) (Figs 59, 92, 147) Clerus marginicollis CHEVROLAT, 1843: 31 . LECTOTYPE : Gender not known. Type locality: Brasilia, D. A . Pompon ( Brazil ). Here designated. ( MNHN ). CORPORAAL 1950 : 100 . CHEVROLAT did not select a holotype , therefore, I invoke Recommendation 73F of the ICZN (1999) and designate a lectotype for this nominal species. A d d i t i o n a l m a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d ( Fig.92 ): Inadditiontothelectotype, I examined 10 specimens from: Brazil : Estado do Rio de Janeiro , Parque Nacional Itatáial , 4-IV-1964 , 1,200 m , C. E. & E. S. Ross ; Nova Friburgo ,?-IV-V-1884, P. Germain ; Estado do São Paulo , Caraça ,?-?-1884, P. Germain ; Estado do Santa Catarina , Nova Teutonia ,?- I-1973 , 300- 500 m , Fritz Plaumann ; idem,?- II-1974 , F. Plumann ; Specimens are deposited in: CASC , FMNH , WFBM , and WOPC . D i a g n o s i s: Forebody black, except pronotal posterior angles and pronotal collar testaceous; antennae, pterothorax, and legs testaceaous; elytral bicolored, basal 1/2 testaceous, testaceous region extends posteriorly along sutural margin to conjoin short oblique, testaceous fascia, apical half mostly black, apical region testaceous; abdomen black. R e d e s c r i p t i o n: Size: Length 12.0 mm; width 4.0 mm. Form: As in Fig. 147 . Head: Cranium conspicuously wrinkled; frons wider than length of antennal pedicel; EW/FW 50/60. Thorax: Pronotum faintly wrinkled at sides, finely punctate in remainder, disc with 2 tumescenses (PW/PL 150/200); elytral disc sculptured with substriate, asetiferous punctures that extend just behind elytral basal 1/2, elytral apex narrowly rounded (EL/EW 530/100); metathoracic femur gradually increasing in diameter to femoral apex. Abdomen: Aedeagus as in Fig. 59. V a r i a t i o n: Size: Length 10.0-14.0 mm; width 3.0-4.0 mm. Other than body size, the available specimens are quite homogeneous. N a t u r a l h i s t o r y: Specimens were collected during January, February, April, and May. N o t e s: The lectotype was examined, but the description is based on a homotype specimen.
