Sexually dimorphic punctation of pronotum with indentations deep and rounded or ovate ( Fig. 91 ); each indentation with two or several distinct groups of pores ( Fig. 92 ), distributed mainly around periphery of indentations; between indentations are scattered points that may have a small seta, which is generally curved at its apex ( Fig. 93 ).

Ovipositor ( Figs 49, 50 ) with large vulva; spermathecal gland same size as spermatheca. Variability. Head, prothorax and legs, in males, varying from brownish red to dark brown. Antennal segments dark brown with brownish-yellow bases and dark-brown apex. Females exhibit a wider color variation; the tegument may be entirely black ( Figs 131, 132 ). Head brownish red, with or without black spots ( Figs 124–129 ) or entirely black ( Figs 130–132 ). Antennae brownish red, bicolored or entirely black. Prothorax varies from brownish red with spots to entirely black. Elytra varies from brownish red with two pairs of orange spots, to entirely black. Legs brownish red, bicolored, or entirely black. Measurements (mm). male/female. n=11/15. Total length 9.2–13.6/7.3–12.3; prothorax length 1.9–2.8/ 1.4–2.4; greatest prothorax width 1.7–2.7/1.1–2.8; elytral length 6–8.8/5–8.6; humeral width 2.2–3.3/1.8–3.5. Type material. We examined the male holotype , from Brazil ; and also the female holotype of Trachelia octolineata Audinet-Serville, 1834 , from Brazil ( BMNH ). Comments. Trachelissa pustulata is similar to T. maculicollis in having a shiny body surface, antennomere XII about half the length of III, and the elytra with fine sparse punctures. It differs from T. maculicollis by the prothorax subparallel at the sides, with a pair of antemedian tubercles that are evident or not, antennomeres IV–VI and VII–XI subequal in length, and tergite VIII with the apical margin obliquely truncate. Geographical distribution. The species is reported for Brazil (Bahia to São Paulo) ( Monné, M.A., 2005 ). New state records from Brazil are added: Goiás and Mato Grosso ( Figs 157 , 158 ).
