Overview

Abstract

  • The generic differences and similarities between Leptostylus LcConte and Leptostylopsis Dillon (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Acanthocinini) are discussed. Leptostylopsis is redescribed and the following species are transferred from Leptostylus to Leptostylopsis: Leptostylopsis annulipes (Fisher 1942), comb.n.; Leptostylopsis poeyi (Fisher 1925), comb.n.; and Leptostylopsis viridicomus (Fisher 1942), comb.n. Leptostylopsis hispaniolae (Fisher 1942) is a syn.n. of Leptostylopsis annulipes (Fisher 1942). Seven new species of Leptostylopsis from Hispaniola are diagnosed, described, and illustrated: L. basifulvus Lingafelter and Micheli, sp.n.; L. caliginosus Lingafelter and Micheli, sp.n.; L. chlorescens Lingafelter and Micheli, sp.n.; L. humerofulvus Lingafelter and Micheli, sp.n.; L. perfasciatus Lingafelter and Micheli, sp.n. Redescriptions and distributional data are provided for the six previously described species known from Hispaniola, and a dichotomous key to all thirteen species of Leptostylopsis from Hispaniola is provided.
