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 theresae PIC , 1950 ( Figs 76 , 99 , 168 ) Priocera theresae PIC, 1950: 9 . LECTOTYPE : Gender not known. Herein designated. Type locality: Amazones ( Peru ) ( MNHN ). CORPORAAL 1950 : 100 . It is not known how many specimens were available to Pic. He 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. 99 ): In addition to the lectotype , I examined 6 specimens from: Peru : Provincia de San Marti n, Tarapoto,?-V-VIII-1886, M. de Mathan, Specimens are deposited in: BMNH, MNHN, and WOPC. D i a g n o s i s: Forebody, antennae, pterothorax, legs, and abdomen castaneous; elytra mostly castaneous, each elytron with 4 yellow markings, one covering elytral base, one large, triangular conjoined with epipleural margin just anterior to elytral middle, one short, oblique line just behind elytral middle near sutural margin, one oval marking near elytral apex. R e d e s c r i p t i o n: Size: Length 8.3 mm ; width 1.8 mm . Form: As in Fig. 168 . Head: Frons narrower than length of antennal pedicel, EW/FW 50/5. Thorax: Pronotum finely punctate, with 2 tumescenses (PW/PL 88/135); elytral disc sculptured with asetiferous punctures, latter seriate in basal 1/2, absent in apical 1/2, elytral apex rounded (EL/EW 340/60); metathoracic femur gradually increasing in diameter to femoral apex. Abdomen: Aedeagus as in Fig. 75. V a r i a t i o n: Size: Length 8.3-10.0 mm; width 1.8-2.2 mm . Except for body size, the specimens examined are quite homogeneous. N a t u r a l h i s t o r y: Specimens were collected during a time between May and August. N o t e s: Although the type was examined, the description is based on a homotype specimen.
