03C5879FFFF2342EAB79FEDCE80A692A.taxon	etymology	Etymology. – The name “ polylepis ” refers to the larval host plant of the type series. It is a noun in apposition. Polylepis is a genus of small trees and shrubs endemic to high-elevation regions of the Andes (Fig. 34).	en	Vlasak, Josef, Santos-Silva, Antonio (2022): New genus and new species in high Andes Cerambycinae from Ecuadorian.

03C5879FFFF2342EAB79FEDCE80A692A.taxon	discussion	Remarks. – According to Martins & Napp (2007), the upper eye lobes are absent in Unatara. As the lower eye lobes in Unatara polylepis sp. nov. are slightly projected upward, we consider this projection to be the upper eye lobe. The coarsely punctate sides of the pronotum, prothorax, and sides of prosternum constitutes a sexual dimorphism in males. As the genus and its single species, U. atinga Martins & Napp, 2007, were described based only on females, the feature was not previously reported. Unatara polylepis sp. nov. differs from U. atinga (Fig. 8 - 9) especially by the sides of the dorsal surface of the head and sides of the posterior half of the pronotum without dense yellowish-brown pubescence (present in U. atinga), central area of the pronotum not densely striate (densely striate in U. atinga), and antennomere XI wider and not acute apically (narrower and acute apically in U. atinga).	en	Vlasak, Josef, Santos-Silva, Antonio (2022): New genus and new species in high Andes Cerambycinae from Ecuadorian.

03C5879FFFF03422AA8DFB02EE5E6C41.taxon	discussion	Remarks. – Galileo & Martins (2006) commented on the etymology of Piruapsis (translated): “ Junction of the words, piruá, in Tupi = bubble, and psis, ending of the generic name Necydalopsis, type-genus of the tribe; alluding to the shape of antennomeres III and IV. ” However, this statement encompasses a mistake: the suffix of the genus Necydalopsis is “ opsis. ” Therefore, the authors introduced a problem regarding the gender of the genus. They considered it to be masculine gender and named the type species as “ antennatus. ” However, the suffix “ opsis ” is feminine gender. Nevertheless, we think that the gender should still be treated as masculine, because the suffix was incorrectly used (ICZN 1999: 30.2.2, 30.2.3). Piruapsis tubericornis sp. nov.

03C5879FFFF03422AA8DFB02EE5E6C41.taxon	discussion	Remarks. – Females of Piruapsis tubericornis sp. nov. is similar to females of P. nigellus (White, 1855), but differs as follows: elytra not entirely covering the abdomen; and posterior half of elytra with two blackish maculae strongly obliquely arranged. In the holotype female of P. nigellus, the elytra cover the abdomen, and the posterior half of the elytra has a wide, almost transverse dark band. Males of Piruapsis tubericornis sp. nov. differs from the holotype male of P. vestitus (White, 1855) especially by the antennomeres III and IV strongly piriform, while they are just slightly widened apically in P. vestitus. As already suggested by White (1855), P. nigellus is probably the female of P. vestitus, which reinforces the strong difference from the new species when comparing males. Altitudarium gen. nov.

03C5879FFFF03422AA8DFB02EE5E6C41.taxon	discussion	Remarks. – As other genera currently included in Necydalopsini Lacordaire, 1869, Altitudarium gen. nov. does not share some features reported for the tribe in the original description: procoxae conico-cylindrical, not angular laterally, closed posteriorly; and metacoxae contiguous. However, it is provisionally included in Necydalopsini due to the presence of other similar genera as, for example, Ozodes Audinet-Serville, 1834.	en	Vlasak, Josef, Santos-Silva, Antonio (2022): New genus and new species in high Andes Cerambycinae from Ecuadorian.

03C5879FFFF03422AA8DFB02EE5E6C41.taxon	description	Altitudarium gen. nov. differs from Neozodes Zajciw, 1958, by pronotum distinctly tuberculate (tubercles absent in Neozodes), and antennae not reaching elytral apex in males (distinctly surpassing in males of Neozodes). It differs from Eucharassus Bates, 1885, especially by the antennae in males not reaching elytral apex (surpassing in males of Eucharassus), and antennomeres not dorsally sulcate (sulcate in Eucharassus).	en	Vlasak, Josef, Santos-Silva, Antonio (2022): New genus and new species in high Andes Cerambycinae from Ecuadorian.
