Nyssodrysternum multilineatum sp. nov.

( Fig. 4 )

Etymology: Latin, multus = many + lineatus = lines, by the longitudinal lines in pronotum and elytra.

Female: Integument black. Pubescence predominantly black, very sparse. Pubescence pale-grayish as follows: head with a longitudinbal line in the occiput; pronotum with seven entire longitudinal lines one in the middle and three each side, the broader covering the lateral tubercles. A spot in the middle of the scutellum and in each elytron fourth interrupted longitudinal narrow lines from base to apex, some of them enlarged in the middle and in the apical third. Ventral face of the body and legs covered with pale-greyish pubescence.

Antennae very long, three times the length of the body, attaining the apices of the elytra in the distal extremity of antennomere V; antennomere XI longer than X. Lateral tubercles of the prothorax proeminent and obtuse. Pronotum with a single transversal line of punctures near the posterior margin. Elytral apices subtruncate; punctures dense and minute in the basal half mainly near the sutural border. Tarsomere I as long as II+III. Urotergite and urosternite V truncate in the apex.

Male: Antennae reaching the apices of the elytra in the middle of antennomere V. Fifth urotergite triangularly emarginate in the middle of the distal extremity; fifth urosternite semicircularly emarginate at apex.

Measurements (mm), male/female: Total length, 8,9/5,6-6,8; prothorax length, 1,6/1,1-1,4; prothorax width, 2,1/1,5-1,9; elytral length, 6,5/4,0-4,9; humeral width, 2,6/1,8-2,3.

Type material: Holotype female, French Guiana, Piste de Kaw , pk 37,5, 25.VIII.1993, Jean-Aimé Cerda [battage, ex collection IRD number 376], ( MNHN) . Paratype female, Route Nationale 2, pk 30, 08.VIII.1982, G. Tavakilian col. ( MNRJ) . BOLIVIA, Santa Cruz: Florida Prov. 4 km N Bermejo, Refúgio Los Volcanes (1045 m), 2 males. 18-22.I.2007, Lingafelter, Wappes & Prena col ( ACMT, MNRJ) .

Comments: The black surface ornamented with longitudinal clear-cut lines of pale-grayish pubescence allow us to identify N. multilineatum sp. nov.
