Nyssodrysternum hovorei View in CoL sp. nov.
( Fig. 7 View FIGURES 7‑12 )
Etymology: The species is dedicated to the memory of Franklin T. Hovore, a dearest friend.
Male: Integument dark brown. Pubescence mainly dark brown. Pubescence clear-grayish: head, sides of the prothorax, seven longitudinal lines in the pronotum, the middle one narrow; scutellum; basal half of the elytra with several longitudinal stripes, the nearest of the middle disposed in a transversal zigzag, distal half with a similar stripe, and a few longitudinal lines near the apices. Ventral face of the body and legs covered with clear-brown pubescence.
Antennae at least two times the length of the body; antennomere XI with same length of the X; attaining the apices of the elytra in the apex of antennomere V. Sides of the prothorax with an acute diminute tubercle in the beginning of the posterior third. Pronotum with a single row of punctures parallel to the posterior margin. Elytral apices obliquely truncate; surface densely punctate in the anterior half, mainly near the suture. Metatarsomere I slightly longer than II+III. Fifth urotergite and urosternite transversely truncate.
Female: Antennae reaching the elytral apices approximately in the distal extremity of antennomere VI, ovipositor projecting 1. 5 mm beyond the elytral apices. Urotergite acute in the apex.; urosternite transversely truncate.
Measurements (mm), male/female: Total length, 6,6/7,6-8,5; prothorax length, 1,4/1,5-1,8; prothorax width, 2,0/2,2-2,6; elytral length, 4,7/5,6-6,1; humeral width, 2,3/2,6-3,0.
Type material: Holotype male, FRENCH GUIANA, Piste de Kaw , pk 45, 12.II.1986, Dominique Peugnet col. ( MNHN) . Paratypes, same locality, female, 20.VII.1985, G. Tavakilian col. ( MNHN) , male, 30.VIII.1986, F. & J-P. Serais col. ( MNRJ) . Route forestière de Belizon, pk 1, female, 17.II.1994, F.T. Hovore col. ( MNHN) .
Comments: N. hovorei sp. nov. is similar to N. cingillum Monné, 2009 by the presence of seven longitudinal grayish lines in the pronotum, but differs by the pattern of the elytral patches.
