Tribe Spartocerini

The genera Spartocera Laporte and Sephina Amyot & Serville have been previously keyed in Baranowski & Slater (1986) and Brailovsky & Sanchez (1983). However, Eubule Stål was not included in those keys. Thus, both keys that lead to Spartocera should go to the following couplet:

2 Pro, meso and metathorax each with a pleural black spot................................................. Eubule - Pro, meso and metathorax without a pleural black spot............................................... Spartocera

Regarding the species identification, the species of Sephina were recently reviewed by Brailovsky & Barrera (2021), while Spartocera and Eubule lacks modern revisional works, although for the latter genus it is useful to refer to the description of some species by Brailovsky (1992a). With this contribution, 22 Colombian species of Spartocerini are known, 11 of which are new records.
