Acyphoderes longicollis Chemsak and Noguera, 1993: 80 View in CoL ; Monné 2005: 456 (cat.). Note. In Monné (2005) the citation for this species is recorded as Chemsak and Noguera, 1995: 80; it should be 1993: 80.

Species Concept. Based on the original description and illustration, and examination of eight paratypes in the EMEC collection.

Measurements (mm). 8 males, total length, 12.0-15.6; length of prothorax, 2.10-2.60; width of prothorax, 1.65-2.15; length of elytra, 3.25-3.95; width at humeri, 1.70-2.20.

Material analyzed. Paratype, MEXICO, Jalisco, Est. Bio. Chamela, on Paullinia flowers, 1 male, 14.VII.1990 ( EMEC 202,808).

Material examined. Paratypes, MEXICO, Jalisco, Est. Bio. Chamela, on Paullinia flowers, 6 males, 3- 17.VII.1990 ( EMEC 202,807 About EMEC /809-813) ; Est. Bio. Chamela, 1 male, 4.VII.1991, J. D. Mc Carty col. ( EMEC 202,806 About EMEC ) ; La Manzanilla , 1 male, 3.VII.1991, F. A. Noguera col. ( EMEC 202,807 About EMEC ) .

Comment. Very similar to, but geographically distant from B. dehiscens . Tegmen of aedeagus very similar, lateral lobes of tegmen slightly longer and narrower, and more setose in B. dehiscens than in this species. However, specimens of B. dehiscens are few in number, and the data presented in the key for the identification of the two species requires the examination of more specimens to eliminate differences due to variation.
