038387A84913FFFD72E7FC8BFEA2FA45.taxon	discussion	Remarks. According to Gilmour (1959) on Proxatrypanius: “ Closely allied to Atrypanius Bates, but differing through the transverse, not elongate frons, the non-canaliculate prosternal process, the lateral pronotal tubercles much more obtuse, and placed more anteriorly etc. From the genus Leptostylopsis Dillon it differs through only having three pronotal discal tubercles, and these extremely feeble, the elytra not distinctly costate, and the pro- and mesosternal processes narrower. From Trypanidius Thomson it differs basically in the same way as from Atrypanius Bates, as well as other more diverse factors. ” Monné et al. (2020) separated Proxatrypanius from the species of Leptostylus with distinct centrobasal crest on the elytra in the alternative of couplet “ 48: ” “ Elytra with dorsal carina and / or somewhat rough, ” leading to Leptostylus; and “ Elytra lacking dorsal carina and not rough, ” leading to Proxatrypanius. Additionally, Proxatrypanius can be separated from Atrypanius Bates, 1864 and Trypanidius Blanchard, 1847 by the lateral tubercles of the prothorax typically acute apically in the last two genera. Atrypanius scitulus (Germar, 1823) has the lateral tubercle very different and it may have to be eventually excluded from Atrypanius.	en	Santos-Silva, Antonio, Bezark, Larry G., Botero, Juan Pablo (2025): The Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) from the James Cope collection: New species, synonymy, and taxonomical and geographical notes.

038387A84913FFFF72E7FA21FE90FE28.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Bates (1881) described O. incerta in Oedopeza Audinet-Serville, 1835, but reported: “ I refer this species to Oedopeza with much hesitation. ” Later, Bates (1885) transferred it to Leptostylus (p. 391) and provided additional remarks (p. 410): “ This species, which I placed in Oedopeza with doubt, must be removed from the genus. It is better placed in Leptostylus, where it forms a member of a small aberrant group closely allied to Leiopus naeviicornis (currently, Sternidius naeviicornis (Bates, 1885 )), alpha (currently, Sternidius alpha (Say, 1827 )), & c., but differing from them in the thorax being destitute of lateral spine. ” Still, according to Bates (1885): “ The centrobasal tubercles of the elytra are slightly elevated and pubescent, but the smaller dusky tubercles arranged in rows are scarcely elevated and naked. The basal joint of the hind tarsi is as long as the second and third taken together. ” In fact, the centrobasal crest of the elytra and the dorsal tubercles are practically absent, and the latter are not glabrous. Additionally, the metatarsomere I is from slightly shorter to slightly longer than II – III together. Based on a comparison of photographs of the holotype of Proxatrypanius rockefelleri (Fig. 5) and of the lectotype of Oedopeza incerta (Fig. 6), along with the original descriptions and additional specimens (e. g. Figs. 1 – 4), we conclude that the former is a junior synonym of the latter. Therefore, we are transferring Leptostylus incertus to Proxatrypanius and synonymizing P. rockefelleri with it. Currently, it is known from Mexico (Colima, Jalisco, Sinaloa, and Oaxaca), Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica (Monné 2024 b; Tavakilian & Chevillotte 2025).	en	Santos-Silva, Antonio, Bezark, Larry G., Botero, Juan Pablo (2025): The Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) from the James Cope collection: New species, synonymy, and taxonomical and geographical notes.

(Hippopsis). ” Since H. filum was the only available species originally included, it is the type species by monotypy.	en	Santos-Silva, Antonio, Bezark, Larry G., Botero, Juan Pablo (2025): The Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) from the James Cope collection: New species, synonymy, and taxonomical and geographical notes.

038387A84911FFF872E7FDB6FEE1F8DC.taxon	description	Breuning (1962) wrongly indicated that the type species of Spalacopsis was S. stolata. Furthermore, he did not comment on the subgenera proposed by Casey (1913). Tyson (1973) also wrongly indicated the type species as being S. stolata and followed the subgenera proposed by Casey (1913), but in an extremely different sensu: “ Elytra with suture not fused apex usually as wide or wider than middle, apices spiniform lobate, broadly rounded or tapering; species alate or apterous … Subgenus Euthuorus; ” “ Elytra with suture fused, apex narrower than middle, apices tapering, slightly divergent and usually asymmetrical; apterous .. Subgenus Spalacopsis s. str. ” Again, there is a problem since the type species of S. (Euthuorus) is a synonym of the type species of S. (Spalacopsis). Therefore, the species could not be included in two different subgenera at the same time. Evidently, the mistake was due to the wrong interpretation of the type species of Spalacopsis by Breuning 1962, who omitted Spalacopsis stellio from the synonymical list of S. filum. Linsley & Chemsak (1995) correctly indicated Spalacopsis stellio as the type species of the genus. In fact, even if the genus included subgenera, none of the names currently listed as synonyms of Spalacopsis could be used, since all have Hippopsis filum — a synonym of the type species of Spalacopsis — as their type species. Apparently, and somewhat inexplicably, catalogs and checklists began to omit the subgenera following that work, which, in fact, did not formally establish any synonymy and did not mention the real reason why the previously proposed subgenera have no nomenclatural standing. We are formally synonymizing Euthuorus with Spalacopsis because their name-bearing types are a single taxonomic taxon.	en	Santos-Silva, Antonio, Bezark, Larry G., Botero, Juan Pablo (2025): The Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) from the James Cope collection: New species, synonymy, and taxonomical and geographical notes.

038387A84916FFFA72E7F89AFD16FBCC.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Lacordaire (1876) illustrated S. macilenta (Fig. 8) attributing the species to Ernest Charles Auguste Candéze and recorded it from Guatemala. We were unable to find any work by Candèze in which he described this species. Therefore, we agree with previous authors who attribute the authorship to Lacordaire (e. g. Aurivillius 1923). According to Bousquet (2016): “ Atlas. 47 + 1 (Errata) pp. + 134 pls. [DP: n. d. (title page)]. The plates were issued by livraisons but no publication dates were found for them during this study. Scientific names are provided for the illustrations on each plate. ” Aurivillius (1923), Blackwelder (1946), and Breuning (1961) listed the species as published in 1872. The date 1876 is adopted here in accordance with Monné (2024 b) and Tavakilian & Chevillotte (2025). Breuning (1962) synonymized S. macilenta with S. filum, but did not indicate whether he examined the holotype. According to Alain Drumont (pers. comm.), there is only one specimen of Spalacopsis in the Candèze collection (ISNB) (Figs 10 – 13), identified as S. protensa (Pascoe, 1871). We consider impossible that S. macilenta is a synonym of S. filum filum (Fig. 7 — holotype of S. stellio, junior synonym) because the elytra are widened about middle and the apex is distinctly acuminate. According to Tyson (1970), his S. howdeni (Fig. 9) “ differs from all examined forms of Spalacopsis in the shape and size of the scutellum; ” and that it differs from S. phantasma Bates, 1885 “ by the less dense fimbriations of the antennal segments and the presence of dark integumental markings. ” Spalacopsis phantasma has the central area of the elytra more distinctly widened. In the available photographs of the holotype of S. phantasma (see Bezark 2025) the dark integumental areas on the elytra appear to be present. Additionally, we observed that the number of erect setae on the antennae is highly variable in S. filum, suggesting that similar variation likely occurs in other species of the genus. Tyson (1973) did not include in his key S. howdeni, S. fusca Gahan, 1892, S. protensa (Pascoe, 1871), S. similis Gahan, 1892, and S. variegata Bates, 1880, species described from central to southern Mexico, and S. lobata Breuning, 1942, a species known from Mexico without detailed locality, merely noting that he examined photographs of them. This is because, of the Mexican species, he only dealt with the species that occurred in the north of that country. By comparing the photograph (see photographs on Bezark 2025) and the original description of the holotype of S. phantasma — a species described from Guatemala, as is S. macilenta — with the drawing from Lacordaire (1876) (Fig. 8) and the photographs of the specimen we believe to be the holotype of S. macilenta, we conclude that the S. phantasma is a junior synonym of S. macilenta.	en	Santos-Silva, Antonio, Bezark, Larry G., Botero, Juan Pablo (2025): The Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) from the James Cope collection: New species, synonymy, and taxonomical and geographical notes.

038387A84914FFF572E7FB9FFDDDFEB8.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Spalacopsis copei sp. nov. belongs to the group of species with the elytra parallel-sided and the elytral suture not fused. This species differs from Spalacopsis filum filum (Klug, 1929) (see photographs on Bezark 2025 and in Devesa et al. 2019) and S. f. costulata Casey, 1913 (see photographs on Bezark 2015 and in Lingafelter et al. 2014) as follows: prothorax proportionally stouter, about 1.35 times longer than the maximum width; longitudinal pubescent band on center of pronotum less dense; and the elytral apex rounded and not depressed internally. In S. f. filum and S. f. costulata, the prothorax is proportionally more slender, at least 1.45 times longer than the maximum width, the longitudinal pubescent band on the center of the pronotum is very dense, and the elytral apex is obliquely truncate and depressed internally. It differs from S. f. brevialatum Tyson, 1973 (see photographs on Bezark 2025 and illustrations in Tyson 1973), by the same features as in the other subspecies and by the membranous wings not reduced (reduced in S. f. brevialatum). The new species differs from S. fusca (see photographs on Bezark 2025) and S. similis (see photographs on Bezark 2025) by the body proportionally shorter and stouter (distinctly longer and more slender in S. fusca and S. similis); and from S. protensa (see photographs on Bezark 2025) by the elytral apex rounded (uniformly acute in S. protensa).	en	Santos-Silva, Antonio, Bezark, Larry G., Botero, Juan Pablo (2025): The Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) from the James Cope collection: New species, synonymy, and taxonomical and geographical notes.

Bates (1872) included Diphyrama in Tillomorphini Lacordaire, 1868 and Chemsak & Linsley (1974) transferred it to Anaglyptini. Currently, it is known from Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama (Chiriquí, Panama, and Panama Oeste), and Ecuador (Monné 2024 a; Tavakilian & Chevillotte 2025).

038387A8491BFFF572E7FAFDFC75F8BB.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species was described from Brazil (no further details). Currently, it is known from Brazil (Roraima, Maranhão, Piauí, Pernambuco, Alagoas, Bahia, Espírito Santo, and Rio de Janeiro) (Monné 2024 a; Tavakilian & Chevillotte 2025). Martins (1961) described Malobidion neotropicum (currently, Niophis neotropica) from Peru (Huánuco), which was recorded from Panama by Monné & Hovore (2006) and from Costa Rica by Swift et al. (2010). We suspect that these records from Central America were based on misidentifications. It is also possible that N. neotropica is just a variation of N. aper or equal to N. coptorhina Bates, 1867. Martins & Monné (1973) separated this latter species from N. neotropica just by the length of the apical spine of the elytra: strongly spiny in N. coptorhina and slightly spiny in N. neotropica.	en	Santos-Silva, Antonio, Bezark, Larry G., Botero, Juan Pablo (2025): The Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) from the James Cope collection: New species, synonymy, and taxonomical and geographical notes.

This species shows marked chromatic variation on the head, thorax, and abdomen. Only two other species of this genus are currently recorded from Central America: Ecliptoides monostigma (Bates, 1869) and E. pusillus (Gounelle, 1911). It differs from both primarily by having longer elytra.	en	Santos-Silva, Antonio, Bezark, Larry G., Botero, Juan Pablo (2025): The Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) from the James Cope collection: New species, synonymy, and taxonomical and geographical notes.

It appears to represent merely a chromatic variation of Zikanita argenteofasciata (Tippmann, 1960), a species known from Peru and the Brazilian state of Maranhão. According to Noguera & Gutiérrez (2019), Z. monnei differs from Z. argenteofasciata “ by the strongly sinuate apex of elytra and the slightly emarginate apex of the last abdominal segment, ” which are almost straight in the latter. However, these features appear to be somewhat variable in Z. argenteofasciata. This assumption is based on specimens we previously studied and is supported by photographs, some of which were provided by one of the authors (e. g. Bezark 2025; Nascimento et al. 2019).	en	Santos-Silva, Antonio, Bezark, Larry G., Botero, Juan Pablo (2025): The Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) from the James Cope collection: New species, synonymy, and taxonomical and geographical notes.
