On the Neotropical Acanthocinini, X. (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae) . Sorne new species of Urgleptes Dillon

Abstract

The author describes eight new species of the genus Urgleptes Dillon from Guatemala. These are pareuprepes, U. dorotheae, U. laxicollis, U. elaineae, U. sinuosa, U. bicolorata, U. bimaculata, and U. vauriearum.

It is considered that the greatest variety of species in this genus occurs in Central America, and about fifty species are at present known.

The author states that much useful fieldlwork could be done in collecting material for systematic examination, many parts of Central America being un­ explored entomologically.
