Neocompsa intricata Martins, 1970 View in CoL

Neocompsa intricata Martins, 1970: 1088 View in CoL ; Monné, 2017a: 337 (cat.).

The species was originally described from Mexico (Veracruz). Schaeffer (1905, 1908) recorded Neocompsa textilis (Thomson, 1865) View in CoL from Texas, and Linsley & Martin (1933) described N. textilis var. alacre (written as alacris View in CoL ) also from Texas. The specimens used to record N. textilis View in CoL and N. textilis alacris View in CoL from the USA have been considered as belonging to N. intricata View in CoL . Without doubt, this supposition was based in Martins (1970) (translated): “The specimens from Brownsville, Texas, and from Hidalgo in Mexico, appear to belong to this species [ N. intricata View in CoL ]; however, the elytral apex is less projected at outer side and the erect setae of the elytra are more abundant. They will not be included in the type series.” Evidently, this is not a formal affirmation (“appear”). Thus, it is a mistake to list these specimens in the references of N. intricata View in CoL . Currently, N. textilis var. alacre is N. alacris ( Bates, 1885) View in CoL .

According to Monné (2017a), N. intricata is recorded from the USA (Texas) , Mexico (San Luis Potosí, Veracruz). However, as seen before, for the time being, the species is formally excluded from the fauna of the USA .
