Glenea (Glenea) fasciata ( Fabricius, 1781)

Stenocorus fasciatus Fabricius, 1781: 227 .

Hemilocallia grishami Ramírez Hernández et al., 2019: 6. Syn. nov. (genus and species).

Saperdini is one of the most diverse tribes in Cerambycidae (Lamiinae) , with 155 genera ( Tavakilian & Chevillotte, 2018). Recently, Ramírez Hernández et al. (2019) described Hemilocallia grishami based on a single male specimen collected in Peru (see photograph of the holotype at Bezark 2019). A few days after publication, our friend Herbert Schmid (City, Austria?) alerted us to the synonymy between this species and Glenea (Glenea) fasciata , an African species. Accordingly, Hemilocallia is a junior synonym of Glenea (Glenea) , and H. grishami is a junior synonym of G. (G.) fasciata .

It is important to mention that all American Saperdini have the claws simple and divaricate (see Linsley & Chemsak 1985, 1995). However, several non-American species, belonging to several genera, have the tarsal claws bifid or appendiculate, at least in males. Although it is usually mentioned in the literature that only the male’s foreleg claws of some species of Glenea Newman, 1842 have the tarsal claws modified, males of G. (G.) fasciata have all tarsal claws appendiculate.

Since only a single specimen was collected in Peru, we do not know if the species is established in that country. For a complete list of references on G. (G.) fasciata , see Tavakilian & Chevillotte (2018).
