Dolichestola densepunctata Breuning, 1942 View in CoL

( Fig. 11–17 View Figures 9–17 )

Dolichestola densepunctata Breuning 1942: 165 View in CoL ; 1974: 124; Monné 1994: 52 (cat.); Monné and Giesbert 1994: 217 (checklist); Monné 2005: 393 (cat.); Monné and Hovore 2006: 244 (checklist); Wappes et al. 2006: 29 (distr.); Touroult et al. 2010: 32; Dalens and Touroult 2010: 46 (distr.); Morvan and Roguet 2013: 25 (distr.); Monné 2022: 659 (cat.).

Breuning (1942) briefly described D. densepunctata View in CoL based on a single specimen from French Guiana ( Fig. 11 View Figures 9–17 ) as follows (translated): “Very close to my annulicornis View in CoL , but the head extremely fine [finely punctate], the pronotum extremely densely punctate; the pubescence finer, forming narrow longitudinal bands on the elytra. 5 mm.” However, the punctures on the pronotum are very similar to those in examined specimens of D. annulicornis View in CoL , which are slightly variable especially in the density, and, apparently, are equal or nearly so also in the holotypes of D. densepunctata View in CoL and the latter. Breuning (1974) translated the original description into French, and separated D. densepunctata View in CoL from D. annulicornis View in CoL and D. vittipennis View in CoL by the sculpturing of the pronotum: pronotum extremely finely punctate, leading to D. densepunctata View in CoL ; and pronotum finely punctate, leading to D. annulicornis View in CoL and D. vittipennis View in CoL . This information in the key may suggest that the shape of the punctures is distinctly different, which is not true. In fact, the only reliable difference between D. densepunctata View in CoL and D. annulicornis View in CoL is the proportion between the length of the prothorax and elytra. In D. densepunctata View in CoL , the elytra are proportionally shorter in both sexes ( Fig. 11, 13, 17 View Figures 9–17 ), while they are proportionally longer in both sexes of D. annulicornis View in CoL ( Fig. 1–6 View Figures 1–8 , 9, 10 View Figures 9–17 ). The punctures on the metaventrite are also very similar in the two species ( Fig. 8 View Figures 1–8 , 14 View Figures 9–17 ).

Currently, D. densepunctata is known from Panama, Bolivia (Santa Cruz), and French Guiana ( Tavakilian and Chevillotte 2021; Monné 2022).
