Eburia sexnotata sensu Martins 1997
Abstract
Eburia sexnotata sensu Martins (1997, 1999) Remarks. As indicated above, the specimens identified by Martins (1997) as E. sexnotata do not belong to this species because they do not agree with the photographs of the syntypes (Figs 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63). In his key, E. quadrinotata (Latreille, 1811) (Figs 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70) and E. sexnotata are separated as follows (translated): “ Integument dark reddish; often with longitudinal black band between the basal and central eburneous elytral maculae; large size, length 30–31 mm. Colombia to Chile, ” leading to E. quadrinotata; and “ Integument orangish, particularly on the pronotum; lacking a black band between the eburneous elytral maculae; smaller size, length 20–22 mm. Ecuador, ” leading to E. sexnotata. According to the key by Martins (1999) (translated): Still according to Martins (1999) (translated): “ Like E. pilosa and E. sexnotata, E. quadrinotata exhibits a distinct longitudinal sulcus on the base of the scape, contrasting punctures on the basal half of the elytra, and a mesoventral process without a tubercle. It differs by having shorter pronotal setae, a markedly more reddish general coloration, and a reduced number of eburneous maculae on the elytra — generally two on each elytron, sometimes accompanied by small additional maculae. ” However, as shown above, E. pilosa belongs to Pantomallus. This author also affirmed regarding E. quadrinotata (translated): “ Variability. A small macula may appear on the outer side of the basal macula and a small macula on the inner side of the central one. ” Based on specimens examined either directly or through photographs, we believe that E. sexnotata sensu Martins (1997, 1999) represents merely a variation of E. quadrinotata. Therefore, the following references must be transferred from E. sexnotata to E. quadrinotata: Eburia (E.) sexnotata Martins, 1997: 82; and Eburia sexnotata Martins, 1999: 252. The needed changes in Eburia Since Cerambyx quadrimaculatus, the type species of Eburia, and E. consobrina, the type species of Eleutho, are congeneric, Eleutho is synonymized with Eburia. Additionally, all other species currently included in Eburia need to be transferred to another genus. Currently, Coeleburia is considered a synonym of Eburia, and since its type species, Coeleburia semipubescens, belongs to Eburia sensu auctorum, the genus is revalidated to include the species resulting from the proposed synonymy. The following classification reflects the conclusions of this study: Eburia Lacordaire, 1830 Eburia Lacordaire, 1830: 177. Dissacanthus Hope, 1834: 107. Eleutho Thomson, 1864: 242. Syn. nov.

It is possible that some of the species currently included in Coeleburia may actually belong to other genera. However, addressing this issue falls outside the scope of our study. Note 2. Eburia porulosa porifera Bates, 1892, was described as a variety of E. porulosa. According to the Code (ICZN 1999: Art. 45.6. 4), the name is to be considered a subspecific rank and, therefore, available. This subspecies was never formally synonymized. In general, researchers consider that Aurivillius (1912) established the synonymy, as in several other cases. However, Aurivillius (1912) merely listed the variety as belonging to the same taxon, following the concept of that time — in other words, the “ variety ” was seen simply as a variation within the same taxon, not as a different one. The photographs of the lectotypes of E. porulosa and of the holotype of E. porulosa var. porifera allow us to conclude that the latter is indeed a synonym of the former. Therefore, we formally establish synonymy. Drymo Thomson, 1864, revalidated Type species. Coeleburia pulverea Chevrolat, 1862 1. Drymo didymus (Olivier, 1800), comb. nov.
