4D14879BFFFAFF9AFD34F9B4CF6BDE24.taxon	description	Description (Holotype). Length: 12.0 mm. Form: Elongate; elytra subparallel. Color: Reddish testaceous; head piceous, except frontal umbo bearing a triangular rufous macula; pronotum dark reddish brown; each elytron with a faintly indicated, rather broad, oblique, pale testaceous post-median fascia; mouthparts, antennae, legs, and venter testaceous. Head: Shining, shallowly, rather finely punctate anteriorly; epicranium shallowly but distinctly transversely rugulose; surface sparsely set with fine, silvery, adpressed setae of moderate length; antenna moderately elongate, loosely composed; antennomeres as follows: 2 – 3 subconical; 2 approximately 2 / 3 the length of 3; 4 slightly longer than 3; 5 – 10 subequal in length; 4 and 5 conical; 6 – 10 subserrate; 11 elongate, 1 / 3 longer than 10, feebly emarginate internally on distal half, apex narrowed, rounded. Eye moderate in size, laterally protuberant. Pronotum: Elongate (ratio of length to width 3: 2), subflattened on disc above; surface shining, moderately densely but inconspicuously vested with fine, short, reclinate silvery setae, intermixed with longer, more robust suberect grayish setae, these most conspicuous laterally; integument distinctly and densely transversely rugulose. Elytra: Elongate (ratio of length to combined width approximately 2: 1); sides subparallel, arcuately convergent posteriorly to separately rounded, slightly dehiscent apices; dorsum broadly subflattened; integument shining, rather sparsely set with short, fine, suberect testaceous setae, and fewer, somewhat longer and more robust erect testaceous setae; punctures arranged in longitudinal rows, coarse and rather deep anteriorly but progressively smaller and more shallow posteriorly. Metaventrite: Shining, subglabrous, very sparsely setose; posteriorly with a bilateral pair of small, shallow tubercles. Abdomen: Ventrites shining, shallowly dimpled and sparsely setose, 1 – 4 with posterior margins membranous at middle; ventrite 5 (Fig. 29) with hind margin broadly, shallowly, arcuately emarginate; ventrite 6 (Fig. 29) oblong, sides subparallel and slightly arcuate; hind margin deeply, triangularly emarginate; posterior angles very slightly produced; surface shining, inconspicuously dimpled; tergite 6 (Fig. 30) shining, sparsely setose, form elongate, narrower than ventrite 6 in dorsal view, sides broadly arcuate anteriorly, sinuate and slightly convergent posteriorly, posterior angles subacute, posterior margin feebly inflected at middle. Aedeagus: Parameres robust, their apices acute, upturned. Variation. Length of available specimens ranges from 11.0 mm to 14.0 mm. Some specimens have the pronotum piceous and the elytral ground color dark reddish brown. In these individuals, the pale post-median fascia may be more distinct. The posterior margin of the last abdominal tergite in males varies in shape from subtruncate, to shallowly emarginate, to slightly more deeply, triangularly inflected. In specimens exhibiting the last condition, the posterior angles of the last tergite may be slightly more produced. In all cases, however, the posterior margin lacks crenulation and is never sinuate. The pygidium of the female appears as follows: Ventrite 5 with sides oblique, hind margin shallowly, semicircularly emarginate; ventrite 6 semicircular, posteriorly feebly depressed before margin, which is minutely inflected at middle; surface densely but shallowly punctate; tergite 6 with sides slightly oblique, hind margin broad, subtruncate, slightly surpassing ventrite 6 posteriorly.	en	Rifkind, Jacques (2020): New Species of Cleridae (Coleoptera) from Mexico and Central America, with Notes on Others.

4D14879BFFFAFF9AFD34F9B4CF6BDE24.taxon	biology_ecology	Biology. Cymatodera opitzi has been collected at lights and beaten from vegetation in tropical deciduous forest and riparian woodland. Most specimens were collected in coastal locations at low to moderate altitudes during the summer rainy season (July).	en	Rifkind, Jacques (2020): New Species of Cleridae (Coleoptera) from Mexico and Central America, with Notes on Others.

4D14879BFFFAFF9AFD34F9B4CF6BDE24.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Cymatodera opitzi is similar to species belonging to the C. guatemalensis / hoegei complex. The status of Cymatodera guatemalensis Schenkling and Cymatodera hoegei Gorham is unsettled, and the former may eventually prove to be a junior synonym of the latter. For the present purpose of diagnosis, it is sufficient to note that both these nominal species possess a testaceous apical elytral macula, and often a testaceous subbasal marking as well, neither of which are present in C. opitzi. Furthermore, C. guatemalensis and C. hoegei appear to be restricted to southern Mexico (Veracruz; Chiapas) and Central America (Guatemala; Honduras), and have not been collected within the known distributional range of C. opitzi in coastal west-central Mexico. From Cymatodera tica Rifkind, new species, described below, C. opitzi can be separated by virtue of its shinier, apparently less setose elytra. Males, furthermore, are distinguished by differences in the surface sculpturing of abdominal ventrite 6, and by the shape of the last abdominal tergite: The latter is subtruncate or shallowly triangularly emarginate in C. opitzi, but with the posterior margin smooth, whereas in C. tica, it is shallowly triangularly emarginate, but with the margins irregularly, minutely crenulated or subsinuate. In addition, these two species appear to be allopatric, with C. tica restricted to Costa Rica and Nicaragua.	en	Rifkind, Jacques (2020): New Species of Cleridae (Coleoptera) from Mexico and Central America, with Notes on Others.

In addition, these two species appear to be allopatric: C. tica is known from northwestern Costa Rica and adjacent Nicaragua, whereas C. opitzi is known from coastal west-central Mexico. As mentioned previously, the status of C. guatemalensis and C. hoegei is unsettled, and the former may eventually prove to be a junior synonym of the latter. For the present purpose of diagnosis, it is sufficient to note that both these nominal species, though similar to C. tica, possess a testaceous apical elytral macula, and often a testaceous subbasal marking as well, neither of which are present in the new species.

4D14879BFFFFFF9CFF7DFE49CEAEDEEE.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Based on size, general facies, presence of dense metaventral setation (males), and the shape of the pygidia, Cymatodera insalebrosa appears most similar to Cymatodera bellamyi Rifkind and Cymatodera cicatricula Rifkind, both also known from southern Mexico, and potentially sympatric with the new species. Cymatodera insalebrosa, though possessing a dorsal elytral pattern similar to C. bellamyi, has much finer elytral punctation. Males of C. insalebrosa may be easily separated from these congeners by the sculpturing of their metaventral integument, which is smooth and bears a distinct pair of posterior tubercles. By contrast, the metaventrite is asperate and lacking tubercles in the other species.	en	Rifkind, Jacques (2020): New Species of Cleridae (Coleoptera) from Mexico and Central America, with Notes on Others.

The new species can be distinguished from congeners on the basis of a unique combination of surface sculpturing, elytral pattern, and the shape of the male pygidium. Affinities are unclear. In dorsal aspect the new species recalls Cymatodera marmorata (Klug), a broadly distributed Mexican species, but the elytral patterning of the latter differs, as does the shape of its sixth abdominal ventrite, which has the posterior projections more or less rectilinear apically, rather than turned inward at right angles.	en	Rifkind, Jacques (2020): New Species of Cleridae (Coleoptera) from Mexico and Central America, with Notes on Others.

The new species can be distinguished from congeners on the basis of a unique combination of surface sculpturing and the shape of the male pygidium. Its plausible affinity is with the allopatric species Cymatodera tlahuica Rifkind, Toledo and Corona: They share similar facies, densely punctate legs, metaventrite with neither carinae nor tubercles, and aedeagus with the apex of the phallus produced as a dorsally recurved, elongate spine. They differ, however, in the shape of the male pygidium, which is much simpler in C. uncina: Most notably, its sixth abdominal ventrite lacks extended, posterolateral angles.	en	Rifkind, Jacques (2020): New Species of Cleridae (Coleoptera) from Mexico and Central America, with Notes on Others.

The new species can be distinguished from congeners on the basis of a unique combination of color, elytral pattern, metaventral sculpturing, and the shape and sculpturing of the male pygidium. Its affinities doubtless lie with the two species described directly below, with which it shares remarkably similar facies. They can be distinguished by details of the ventral sculpturing and male pygidial shape: Among the three, only C. lucubrans combines a distinctly spiculate metaventral integument with a sixth abdominal tergite that is deeply emarginate at middle.	en	Rifkind, Jacques (2020): New Species of Cleridae (Coleoptera) from Mexico and Central America, with Notes on Others.

4D14879BFFFDFF91FF76FAA7CC67DF62.taxon	discussion	Discussion. Cymatodera lucubrans belongs to a group of central and southern Mexican species characterized by long, slender antennae that have antennomere 2 much shorter than antennomere 3, elongate body, testaceous elytra marked with dark, angular, transverse fasciae, and highly modified male pygidia that bear setal daggers on the sixth abdominal tergite. In collections, these species are often labelled as “ Cymatodera liturata Gorham ” or “ Cymatodera angulifera Gorham, ” but the latter are primarily Central American in distribution, entering Mexico only in the southernmost state of Chiapas. Furthermore, based on photographs of their holotypes, and examination of identified specimens, it is unlikely that there is even a particularly close affinity between them and the group to which C. lucubrans belongs. Within the C. lucubrans species group itself, determination of species discontinuities is challenging. The three species described in this paper share similar yet definably different male pygidia. Because they may be sympatric, I would normally be inclined to take a conservative approach by treating them as one species that happens to demonstrate an unusual plasticity (for Cymatodera) of pygidial shape between populations. However, because each of these morphospecies combines a unique pygidial conformation with a different condition of metaventral sculpturing, I have chosen to describe them as separate species. It seems to me unlikely that members of a single species would demonstrate correlated variation of two characters (male pygidial shape and male metaventral sculpturing) that are both presumably implicated in mate recognition and reproductive isolation.	en	Rifkind, Jacques (2020): New Species of Cleridae (Coleoptera) from Mexico and Central America, with Notes on Others.

The shape of abdominal ventrite 6 also differs somewhat between the two species: C. lucubrans has the posterolateral projections subacutely tapered apically, whereas C. burkei has them broadly rounded posteriorly, with a slight acute projection at the internal angle. Cymatodera locusticauda Rifkind, new species, described below, is very similar, but can be distinguished by virtue of the posterolateral projections of ventrite 6, which are broadly flattened and paddle-like, and the posterior margin of tergite 6, which is entire.	en	Rifkind, Jacques (2020): New Species of Cleridae (Coleoptera) from Mexico and Central America, with Notes on Others.

On the beating sheet it highly resembled, and was nearly mistaken for, similarly sized metallic blue chrysomelid beetles that were in abundance on the same plant. Many Chrysomelidae are known to be chemically protected, and this clerid may be involved in a mimicry complex with the leaf beetles as models.	en	Rifkind, Jacques (2020): New Species of Cleridae (Coleoptera) from Mexico and Central America, with Notes on Others.

The two species can be distinguished most readily by their different vestiture: A. echinatus has its dorsal and ventral surfaces conspicuously vested with pale and dark setae of varying lengths, whereas A. coxae is very sparsely setose, and its integument consequently more strongly relucent. In addition, the two species are allopatric, and appear to occupy different habitats: A. echinatus has been collected from tropical deciduous forest at middle elevations in Chiapas, while the new species is found in higher elevation pine-oak forest in Oaxaca.	en	Rifkind, Jacques (2020): New Species of Cleridae (Coleoptera) from Mexico and Central America, with Notes on Others.

Colyphus martinezi is most similar to Colyphus prolatus Ekis, which has been collected in the Sierra Sur of Oaxaca and is not currently known to be sympatric with the new species. They both lack protibial carinae, and males share the non-sagittate condition of the tegmen. Colyphus martinezi specimens tend to be smaller than those of C. prolatus (5 – 8 mm vs. 8 – 10 mm); they have the antennal club uniformly dark rather than testaceous, the humeri more salient, and the elytra distinctly less elongate.	en	Rifkind, Jacques (2020): New Species of Cleridae (Coleoptera) from Mexico and Central America, with Notes on Others.

4D14879BFFF6FF97FD32FCAFCE16DFDF.taxon	discussion	Discussion. Specimens of C. martinezi displaying the most colorful or variegated elytral patterns are invariably female — a phenomenon I have noted with two other Mexican Colyphus Spinola species. Although one member of the genus (Colyphus strongylioides Ekis) is known to mimic a protected coleopteran model (Ekis 1977), it should not be presumed that color polymorphism in the genus reflects mimetic resemblance to multiple aposematic models, since many of these color morphs do not have any obvious similarity to chemically protected species. Furthermore, polymorphic Colyphus may far outnumber all other insects of their size that are out and active in a particular microhabitat (personal observation), thus violating the (rare) mimic to (common) model ratio theoretically required for the evolution and maintenance of Batesian mimicry. I suggest that a more likely explanation for polymorphism in Colyphus is socalled apostatic selection, which favors the evolution of divergent or rare color morphs (Bond 2007; White and Kemp 2016). Because insectivorous predators (birds and lizards) can develop a search image for palatable, commonly encountered prey, there is a selective advantage to potential prey animals for expression of color combinations and patterns that violate the memorized image. As for the existence of sex-linked color polymorphism in Colyphus, the phenomenon might be explained by differences in the ecology of males and females, or, alternatively, by the possible role of color in mate selection. These speculations may be of interest to future researchers.	en	Rifkind, Jacques (2020): New Species of Cleridae (Coleoptera) from Mexico and Central America, with Notes on Others.

4D14879BFFEBFF88FF68FF2ECE13DAC7.taxon	description	Description (Holotype). Length: 9 mm. Form: Dorsoventrally compressed; elytra moderately expanded posteriorly. Color: Brownish black; pronotum rosaceous with a broad longitudinal black stripe at middle that extends from anterior margin to posterior margin, stripe narrower on pronotal arch, broader on disc; mouthparts testaceous, except terminal palpomeres infuscate. Head: Measured across eyes not as broad as pronotum at its widest; eye protuberant; front deeply bi-impressed; cranium narrow; surface shining, densely but shallowly rugulose-punctate; vestiture moderately dense but inconspicuous, composed mostly of suberect, tawny setae intermixed with fewer, longer suberect and erect setae; antenna elongate (attaining elytral humerus when laid alongside) terminal antennomere with internal and external / distal emarginations exaggerated, apex subacuminate (Fig. 28). Pronotum: Broader than long (5: 4); broadest at posterior 1 / 3, sides convex posterior to transverse impression; transverse impression distinct, broadly U-shaped at middle; disc broadly subflattened; surface shining, pronotal arch with integument densely, irregularly punctate; pronotal disc coarsely, deeply, transversely wrinkled; vestiture moderately dense but inconspicuous, mostly pale laterally, mostly dark dorsally, composed for the most part of suberect, anteriorly directed setae of moderate length. Elytra: Together longer than broad (9: 5), somewhat expanded posteriorly (broadest at posterior 1 / 3), flattened above; epipleuron broad, entire, deeply crimped internally, and contiguous with sutural bead; surface dull; integument densely, uniformly asperate-punctate; vestiture dense but inconspicuous, composed of short, suberect dark setae with an admixture of longer, erect, dark setae. Abdomen: Surface shining, obscurely wrinkled, sparsely setose; ventrite 5 with sides oblique, posterior angles rounded, hind margin shallowly, arcuately emarginate at middle; ventrite 6 small, scutiform, posterior margin rounded; tergite 6 scutiform, broader than ventrite 6, posterior margin rounded.

4D14879BFFEBFF88FF68FF2ECE13DAC7.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Known from the Sierra Sur, Oaxaca, Mexico.	en	Rifkind, Jacques (2020): New Species of Cleridae (Coleoptera) from Mexico and Central America, with Notes on Others. The Coleopterists Bulletin 74 (4): 875-893, DOI: 10.1649/0010-065X-74.4.875, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1649/0010-065x-74.4.875
4D14879BFFEBFF88FF68FF2ECE13DAC7.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new species is placed in the genus Quadrophenia Rifkind on the basis of its dorsoventrally compressed form, broad pronotum, posteriorly expanded elytra, absence of elytral subbasal swellings, and the shape of antennomere 11, which is emarginate both internally and on the distal / external side, and has the apex subacuminate (Rifkind 2017 b). It can be separated from congeners by virtue of its dull, uniformly and densely asperate / punctate elytra; all other species have the elytral integument shining and at most moderately densely punctate or shallowly rugose. The original generic diagnosis is hereby modified to include species with dull, asperate elytra.	en	Rifkind, Jacques (2020): New Species of Cleridae (Coleoptera) from Mexico and Central America, with Notes on Others.
