A new genus, four new species and taxonomic and geographic notes in Mexican Cerambycidae Author Santos-Silva, Antonio Author Botero, Juan Pablo Author Tirant, Stéphane Le text Zootaxa 2018 4420 2 189 210 journal article 29165 10.11646/zootaxa.4420.2.3 baa8b9ec-6032-4ccd-b538-4d772e9701e4 1175-5326 1455283 853E9FEA-2FDE-4CBB-B7A6-7338EF8EA0FF Neocompsa intricata Martins, 1970 Neocompsa intricata Martins, 1970 : 1088 ; Monné, 2017a : 337 (cat.). The species was originally described from Mexico ( Veracruz ). Schaeffer (1905 , 1908 ) recorded Neocompsa textilis (Thomson, 1865) from Texas , and Linsley & Martin (1933) described N. textilis var. alacre (written as alacris ) also from Texas . The specimens used to record N. textilis and N. textilis alacris from the USA have been considered as belonging to N. intricata . Without doubt, this supposition was based in Martins (1970) (translated): “The specimens from Brownsville, Texas , and from Hidalgo in Mexico , appear to belong to this species [ N. intricata ]; however, the elytral apex is less projected at outer side and the erect setae of the elytra are more abundant. They will not be included in the type series.” Evidently, this is not a formal affirmation (“appear”). Thus, it is a mistake to list these specimens in the references of N. intricata . Currently, N. textilis var. alacre is N. alacris ( Bates, 1885 ) . According to Monné (2017a) , N. intricata is recorded from the USA ( Texas ) , Mexico ( San Luis Potosí , Veracruz ). However, as seen before, for the time being, the species is formally excluded from the fauna of the USA . Material examined. MEXICO , Hidalgo : Molango ( 1650 m ), male, 9.VII.1989 , D. Curoe col.
