Priocera strigicollis SCHENKLING, 1902: 320 .

LECTOTYPE: Gender not known. Type locality: Minas Geraes, Caraça (Minas Gerais, Brazil) ( MNHN). CORPORAAL 1950 About MNHN : 100. Schenkling did not select a holotype, therefore, I invoke recommendation 73F of the ICZN (1999) and designate a lectotype for this nominal species.

A d d i t i o n a l m a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d ( Fig. 99 View Figs 99 ): In addition to the lectotype, I examined 25 specimens from: Brazil:. Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Novo Fiburgo, no other information available; Guanabara, Corcovado ,?- V-1969, M. Alvarenga ; Itatiaya ,?- II- 1899, 850 m, E. Gounelle ; Rio Tijuca ,?- XII-1884, E. Gounelle ; Estado do São Paulo, Cantareira , 8-III-1960, J. Halik ; Horto Florestal, Capital , 2-XII-1962, J. Halik ; Estado do Minas Gerais, Caraça ,?- XII-1985, E. Gounelle ; Estado do Santa Catarina, Theresopolis ,?-?-1887, Fruhstorfer ; Estado do Goias, no other information given. Specimens are deposited in: BMNH, MNHN, USNM, WFBM, and WOPC .

D i a g n o s i s: Cranium black; antennae, pterothorax, and legs testaceous; pronotum bicolored, pronotal arch and pronotal collar testaceous, pronotum proper black; elytra tricolored, basal 1/2 testaceous, apical half mostly black, each elytron with 2 yellow fasciae, one lunulate at middle and one oblique behind middle, elytral apical 1/5 th testaceous; abdomen bicolored, visible ventrites I testaceous, other visible ventrites brown.

R e d e s c r i p t i o n: Size: Length 9.5 mm; width 2.2 mm. Form: As in Fig. 166 View Figs 164-167 . Head: Frons wrinkled, frons wider than length of antennal pedicel; EW/FW 40/40. Thorax: Pronotum wrinkled at sides, coarsely punctate at middle, with 2 tumescenses, slight fissure at middle (PW/PL 111/100); elytral disc sculptured with striate, asetiferous punctures extending slightly beyond elytral basal 1/2, elytral apex rounded (EL/EW 390/85); metathoracic femur gradually increasing in diameter to femoral apex. Abdomen: Aedeagus as in Fig. 74. View Figs 70-78

V a r i a t i o n: Size: Length 8.0- 10.5 mm; width 2.0-3.0 mm. Other than body size, the available specimens are quite homogeneous.

N a t u r a l h i s t o r y: Specimens were collected during December, February, and March, one at 850 m.

N o t e s: The lectotype was examined, but the description is based on a homotype.
