Descriptions of three new species and new records of Cerambycidae ( Coleoptera ) from America

Three new species are described and figured: Hemilissa birai sp. n. (Piezocerini), from Brazil; Estoloides (Estoloides) flavoscutellaris sp. n. (Desmiphorini), from Ecuador; and Esthlogena (Esthlogena) setosa sp. n. (Pteropliini), from Ecuador. Twenty-three new records in Lamiinae are provided.

Head.Frons moderately coarsely, densely, shallowly, confluently punctate; with short, sparse setae.Central area between antennal tubercles opaque, glabrous, shallowly, confluently punctate; with longitudinal, well-marked carina on each side, between antennal tubercle and coronal suture.Vertex lower than area between antennal tubercles, coarsely, abundantly punctate; glabrous.Area behind upper eye lobes with sculpture as on vertex, gradually smooth toward area behind lower eye lobe; with some long setae close to eyes.Area behind lower eye lobes with moderately coarse, sparse punctures, slightly denser on area close to apex of lobe; with some long setae close to eye.Apex of antennal tubercle notably horn-shaped.Coronal suture distinct from near clypeus to posterior level of antennal tubercles.Gula finely, transversely striate, more distinctly toward submentum.Submentum depressed, more distinctly toward anterior edge; finely, moderately abundantly punctate; with short, sparse setae.Area between submentum and lower eye lobes with sparse, very long setae.Mandibles with very long, sparse setae on outer surface.Distance between upper eye lobes 0.55 times length of scape; distance between lower eye lobes, in frontal view, 0.85 times length of scape.Antennae as long as 1.65 times elytral length; reaching elytral apex about apex of antennomere X. Scape coarsely, densely, confluently punctate throughout; with moderately long, sparse setae.Antennal formula based on antennomere III: scape = 0.86; pedicel = 0.18; IV = 0.88; V = 0.82; VI = 0.76; VII = 0.72; VIII = 0.60; IX = 0.62; X = 0.56; XI = 0.86.Etymology.The new species is named after Ubirajara Martins de Souza (Bira) who made the full revision of Piezocerini in 1976, and the revision of South American species in 2003.
Remarks.Hemilissa birai sp.n. differs from H. catapotia Martins, 1976 as follows: larger size (15.1 mm); antennal tubercle horn-shaped; pronotum without smooth area at central region.H. catapotia is smaller in size (from about 6 to 10 mm), the antennal tubercle is not horn-shaped, and the pronotum has a smooth area on the central region.It differs from H. cornuta Bates, 1870 by the pronotum not pubescent (with large pubescent area in H. cornuta), and by the shiny elytra (opaque Figures 1-4.Hemilissa birai sp.n., holotype male: 1 dorsal habitus 2 ventral habitus 3 lateral habitus 4 head, frontal view.in H. cornuta).Hemilissa birai sp.n. can be separated from H. opaca Martins, 1976 by the shiny elytra (opaque in H. opaca) and with a single spine at the apex (bispinose in H. opaca), and by the antennal tubercles hornshaped (not so in H. opaca).It differs from H. quadrispinosa Gounelle, 1913 by the shiny elytra (opaque in H. quadrispinosa), by the elytral apex with a single spine (bispinose in H. quadrispinosa), by the antennal tuber-cle horn-shaped (not so in H. quadrispinosa), and by the pronotum not tuberculate (tuberculate in H. quadrispinosa).Hemilissa birai sp.n. differs from H. undulaticollis Zajciw, 1960 by the pronotum not longitudinally sulcate (sulcate in H. undulaticollis), and by the antennal tubercle horn-shaped (not so in H. undulaticollis).
Hemilissa birai can be included in the alternative of couplet "7", from Martins (2003)  Thorax.Prothorax distinctly wider than long, distinctly wider at base than anterior margin; lateral tubercles large, conical, placed about middle.Pronotum coarsely, moderately abundantly punctate (punctures partially obliterated by pubescence); with three longitudinal, slightly distinct bands with yellowish pubescence: one narrow, placed centrally at basal quarter; two moderately wide, placed laterally from base to about anterior third; with three callosities: one centrally, longitudinal, on basal half; two laterally, subelliptical, transverse, on anterior half; with moderately long, sparse setae.Lateral sides of prothorax with sculpture and setae as on pronotum.Prosternum coarsely, moderately abundantly punctate centrally on basal half, smooth laterally and anteriorly.Prosternal process wide; coarsely, moderately abundantly punctate from base to posterior level of procoxae.Mesosternum shiny, centrally glabrous, except for some short central close to base of mesosternal process.Mesosternal process moderately coarsely punctate laterally and distally.Metasternum moderately coarsely, sparsely, shallowly punctate (punctures not obliterated by pubescence), except for sub smooth central region.Scutellum with glabrous, small area on center of base.Elytra moderately finely and sparsely punctate (part of punctures obliterated by pubescence); with short, yellow, decumbent, moderately abundant setae throughout; apex rounded.
Variability.Glabrous area of scutellum from small to large, from glabrous to with short, sparse setae.
Remarks.Estoloides (Estoloides) flavoscutellaris sp.n. is similar to E. (E.) aquilonius Linsley & Chemsak, 1984, but differs as follows (female): prothorax wider (about 1.5 times wider than long); pronotum without narrow central glabrous area; elytra proportionally narrow; scutellar pubescence yellow.In E. (E.) aquilonius (see Bezark 2015) the prothorax is narrower (about 1.3 times wider than long), the pronotum has narrow central glabrous area, the elytra are proportionally wider, and the scutellar pubescence is whitish.Head.Frons coarsely, deeply, abundantly punctate; with long, moderately sparse setae (longer close to eyes).Area between upper eye lobes coarsely, deeply, abundantly punctate; with long, moderately sparse setae.Area between posterior ocular edge and prothorax with some coarse punctures near posterior ocular edge, smooth toward prothorax; with long, sparse setae.Area behind upper eye lobes densely pubescent close to eye, gradually less dense toward prothorax; without punctures.Area behind lower eye lobes densely pubescent, coarsely punctate, with long, sparse setae on wide band close to eye; glabrous, smooth toward prothorax, except for narrow, longitudinal, finely punctate sulcus between those areas.Antennal tubercles with oblique band of moderately coarsely punctures from base to near apex; with long, sparse setae.Coronal suture not distinct.Gula shiny, smooth, glabrous.Submentum with moderately coarsely, shallowly, sparsely punctate; finely pubescent; with long, sparse setae.Genae pubescent; moderately coarsely, sparsely punctate; with long, sparse setae.Basal twothirds on outer side of mandibles pubescent interspersed with long, sparse setae.Distance between upper eye lobes 0.6 times length of scape; distance between lower eye lobes, in frontal view, equal to 0.9 times length of scape.
Etymology.This species is named for the abundant setae on the elytra, antennae and legs. Figures5-8
Thorax.Prothorax slightly longitudinal, about 1.1 times longer than largest width; basal quarter distinctly constricted; slightly narrowed from basal constriction to anterior margin laterally.Pronotum coarsely alveolate, except for more distinctly smoother lateral sides of basal constriction; with long, thick, sparse setae throughout, interspersed with short, sparse setae.
