Abstract

A new species, Thopidion flechtmanni, is described, illustrated, and included in a previous key. Rhinotragus marginatus Perry, 1832 (currently considered a subspecies of R. dorsiger), Rhinotragus dorsiger var. collaris Melzer, 1930, Rhinotragus dorsiger var. vittatus Melzer, 1930, Rhinotragus dorsiger vat amparensis Melzer, 1930, and Rhinotragus apicalis Guerin-Meneville, 1844 are formally synonymized with R. dorsiger Germar, 1823. Variation in pubescence pattern in Pirangoclytus purus (Bates, 1870) is reported, and the species is recorded for the first time in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Variation in the color of the integument and pubescence in Hemicladus thomsonii Buquet. 1857 is reported, and the species is recorded for the Brazilian states of Mato Grosso do Sul, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. New state records are provided for Amorupi fulvoterminata (Berg, 1889), Eclipta vitticollis (Bates, 1873), Steirastoma stellio Pascoe, 1866, Cicuiara nitidula (Bates, 1866), Hesycha inermicollis (Braining, 1940), and Polyrhaphis gracilis Bates, 1862.
