Abstract

Chlorida inexpectata Martins, Galileo and Limeira-de-Oliveira, 2011 is synonymized with Chlorida denticulata Buquet, 1860 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae). Notes on Sphallambyx Fragoso, 1982 are provided, with a change of the species-group name of S. superbum (Aurivillius, 1910). New country records are pro¬vided for Sphallambyx mexicanus Galileo and Martins, 2006 and Coleoxestia spinifemorata Fragoso, 1993. New state records are reported for Bebelis occulta (Bates, 1866) and Rhachicolus cristatus Galileo, 1987. Chal¬lustrophis antonkozlovi, new genus, new species, is described from Ecuador. An updated key to the genera of Sphallotrichina is presented.
