( Fig. 6 ) Description. Head reddish-brown, covered by white pubescence. Antennal tubercles acuminate. Antennae reach apex of elytra approximately at half of antennomere VII (male) or at half of antennomere IX (female). Scape reddish-brown with white pubescence. Flagellomeres orange-red. Antennomere III with numerous hairs on internal side and longer than apical width of antennomere. Prothorax with dark reddish integument covered with dense yellowish-white pubescence, obliterating surface. Middle of pronotum with a very narrow and slightly prominent band with an inconspicuous longitudinal medial elevation. Sides of prothorax pubescent. Prosternum pubescent on basal two-thirds and with sparser pubescence on anterior third. Elytra with dark reddish and pubescent integument; each elytron with a yellow spot, elliptical and dorsal, located postmedially; piliferous punctures small and contrasting. Elytral apices strongly oblique. Femora pubescent with dark reddish clavate portion and more yellowish peduncle, not carinate near apices. Tibiae and tarsi yellowish. Ventral side of body dark-reddish and pubescent Measurements in mm, male/female. Total length, 12.0–13.8/8.8–13.2; prothorax length, 3.1–3.4/2.1–3.5; greatest prothorax width, 1.6–1.7/1.1–1.9; elytral length, 8.0–8.9/5.7–8.8; humeral length, 2.2–2.6/1.5–2.6. Etymology. Tupi, muirá = tree ( Hurley, 1931 ). Type material. Holotype male, ECUADOR , Loja : 17.5 km of Catamayo, 22–24.II.2006 , F. T. Hovore & I. Swift col. ( CASC ). Paratypes— ECUADOR , Loja: 17.5 km of Catamayo, 4 females , 22–24.II.2006 , F. T. Hovore & I. Swift col. (3 CASC , 1 MZSP ); Loja: 18.5 km N Gonzanama ( 1°08′8,5′′N , 79°23′36,4′′W ), male, 23.II.2006 , F. T. Hovore & I. Swift col. ( MZSP ). Remarks. N. muira can be compared with N. obscura Martins, 2009 , described from Colombia , which differs by the pronotum with dense yellowish-white pubescence that covers the whole surface and leaves only a narrow and glabrous area on the tubercle located on the basal half; by having one yellow spot on each elytron with no contrasting punctures internally, and by femora which are reddish on clavate portion and yellowish on peduncle. In N. obscura , the pronotum has a median glabrous band, wider from the middle to the external border; each elytron has two yellow spots on the anterior half internally punctate, and femora do not have yellow peduncles. Neocompsa muira differs from N. leechi Martins, 1970 , described from Peru (Lambayeque): punctures in the vertex small and not contrasting; pronotum and sides of prothorax with some small contrasting punctures; each elytron has a yellow spot on the anterior half, longitudinal and round; spots are not carinate internally. In N. leechi , punctures in the vertex are large and contrasting; pronotum and sides of the prothorax have distinctive punctures, contrasting and glabrous; each elytron has two yellowish spots, the anterior one oblique with conspicuous interior carina.
