The holotype and one female paratype will be deposited in ZMHB, additional paratypes in CLBC, FRCM, MIZA, MHCB, NMPC and SGCB. General diagnosis. Length: 12.0��� 18.3 mm, width: 4.2���6.3 mm; colour black, dorsal surface with slight red-greenish reflections; body robust, flattened; elytra striate-punctate, trispinose apically. Description of holotype. Measurements: total length: 12.4 mm, width: 4.2 mm. Head black, with indistinct white pilosity; surface smooth; punctation widely spaced, more dense and pronounced between antennal insertions and with longer white pilosity; frons tapered towards vertex. Antennae black, 11 -jointed, with sparse pilosity; antennomere 1 elongate clavate, antennomere 2 subequal; antennomere 3 twice as long as 2, slightly broadened; antennae serrate from antennomere 4; antennomeres 4 to 11 with sensory fovea on inner surface. Pronotum black; disc smooth with irregular punctation, laterally more densely developed; disc with shallow longitudinal furrow; lateral margins arcuately converged towards anterior part, only slightly emarginated prebasally, accentuating the posterior angles. Scutellum bulged, equilateral; glabrous. Elytra black with red-greenish reflections; glabrous, except apical third, which has indistinct, widespread white setae; general shape broadened from base to humeri, parallel to apical third, then arcuately converged to apices; distinctly striated; intervals on disc principally lacking any apparent microsculpture, but basal half and sides with more or less irregular transverse confluent punctation; ridges smooth, only laterally with scattered punctation; apices of each elytron tridentate, two teeth of same length at tip, the third one separated anteriorly by twice the distance of the other two. Ventral side black, with sparse, long, white pubescence; prosternum and metasternum smooth and irregularly punctured; surface of abdominal ventrites finely microsculptured, with irregularly arranged elongate punctation; anal ventrite more densely punctate, apically truncate and furrowed, shortly denticulated on each side. Legs black with reddish reflections, very finely chagreened; white pilosity sparse and short; femora fusiform; tibiae slender, nearly straight. Aedeagus slender, smooth, furnished with well discernible pores; apices of parameres with sensory setae laterally (Fig. 3). Sexual dimorphism. Elytra of males parallel, converging arcuately from the apical third to the apices. Elytra of females slightly broadened versus the apical third, then converging regularly to the apices. Metatarsus of males, mainly the first tarsomere, visibly longer than in females. Ovipositor of complex structure, exhibiting two pairs of stacked lobes, laterally with additional long sclerotic appendages. Females generally taller. Etymology. The species is named in reference to Francisco Romero Rodr��guez (1920���2002), patriarch of the well known entomologically active family from Maracay, Venezuela, who collected the very first specimen of the new species. Distribution. Northwestern Venezuela (Aragua, Falc��n). Differential diagnosis. Ditriaena romeroi is closely related to D. purpurascens (Waterhouse, 1882), described from Honduras and keys to this species in the generic revision (Cobos 1975). The shape of the male genitalia of D. romeroi does not differ significantly from that of D. purpurascens. The female ovipositor resembles that of the Mexican D. sexspinosa (Waterhouse, 1889), figured in Cobos (1975). Other morphological aspects clearly distinguishing D. romeroi from D. purpurascens are the black colour, the generally broader appearance with accentuated basal angles of the pronotum, the principally more pronounced elytral sculpture and the less obvious apical elytral striae., Published as part of Hornburg, Michael & Gottwald, Stephan, 2012, western Venezuela, pp. 64-68 in Zootaxa 3239 on pages 65-67, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.280456, {"references":["Waterhouse, C.

Hylaeogena bordoni Cobos, 1978: 55 (synonymy due to preoccupation by Bellamy, 1996). In comparing the type of H. jakovlevi from NMPC and type images of H. insidiosa from MNCN, no significant difference was found, hence all examined specimens are considered conspecific. Examination and comparison of the holotype of H. bordoni Cobos 1978, syn. of H. venezuela Bellamy, 1996 with the types of H. jakovlevi detected no significant differences and conspecificity. In the description of H. bordoni, Cobos (1978) mentioned a reduced number of teeth on the anal ventrite and used this detail inter alia for differentiation, in opinion to diagnose a female. The recent examination however shows that the holotype of H. bordoni is male. The anal ventrite exhibits no teeth. A drawing of the male genitalia is given (Fig 6).

In comparing the syntypes of H. speculum from ZMHB and the holotype of H. cordieri from NMPC, no significant differences were found, hence all examined specimens of both species are considered conspecific.

Currently the series consists of two specimens. Only one of the specimens bears an original label with collecting data. During his work in the Berlin Museum in 1931, Hoscheck assumed this specimen to be the type-specimen and added a label with his suggestion, as it could be seen on the cited label-data above (vermutlich Typ = probably type). It is conceivably that one of the three existing specimens of the syntype series remained in Hoscheck���s collection, which was subsequently split into at least two parts: Institut Royal des Sciences Naturelles de Belgique, Brussels (ISNB) and Naturhistorisches Museum Basel, Switzerland (NHMB)., Published as part of Hornburg, Michael, 2012, Nomenclatural changes in Neotropical Tracheini with the description of Hylaeogena aeneonitens sp. nov.

Head bronze; eyes flat, nearly concave; inner margins of eyes parallel; widely spaced punctation on very fine, shiny microsculptured frons; glabrous. Antennae 11 -jointed; antennomeres 1, 2 enlarged; broadened from the antennomere 7. Pronotum bronze; base three times broader than length, in body axis; lateral margins regularly arcuate, converging anteriorly; anterior margin simply rounded; very fine, shiny microsculptured; without punctation, only some irregularly arranged smooth spots; glabrous. Scutellum like head and pronotum, very fine, shiny, but regularly microsculptured; triangular; two times as broad as long; glabrous. Elytra bronze-coloured; surface smooth, without any microsculpture; broadest in anterior third, longitudinal puncture rows clearly visible; hardly noticeable single setae arise from these pores; between puncture-rows slightly wrinkled; apicolateral half more rugose; humeral bulb and posthumeral depression distinct; lateral margin feebly serrate in apical third. Ventral side blackish; very fine microsculptured, like pronotum; anal ventrite simple, only with transverse apical furrow. Legs with typical strongly flattened tibiae, same colour as ventral surface. Male genitalia claviform (Fig 4). Etymology: The species is named in reference to its bronze, shiny colouring. Distribution: Venezuela (Anzo��tegui, Guarico). Differential diagnosis Hylaeogena aeneonitens in general shape, and especially the flattened eyes, is closely related to H. lecerfi Obenberger, 1932 from Panama and H. nana (Kirsch, 1866) from Peru. However, the scutellum of H. nana is nearly equilateral and the general surface more shiny, with a slight greenish tinge on the pronotum, while H. aeneonitens is unicoloured. H. aeneonitens can be distinguished from the blackish H. lecerfi by the colour, the elytral pilosity and the distinct pronounced posthumeral depression.

Derivatio nominis: in gratitude to my dear companion Katrin. 3 4 Cylindromorphoides agriliformis, male Cylindromorphoides katrinae sp. n. Distribution Venezuela, Gran Sabana. Known only from the type locality (Fig. 5). Remarks The type locality of Cylindromorphiodes katrinae sp. n. is close to a mountain-ridge, covered with ombrophilic and xerophilic vegetation (Fig. 5), known as ���El Abismo���, because of the very nice view over the large humid valley of the ���Rio Icabaru��� (Fig. 6). There are, well-founded to the high-distance and the different climate-conditions, often strong upper winds. It is likely, that this species is native to this type of landscape, how it could be found on that mountain-ridge, but it is also possible, that it was carried up by the wind. Nothing is known about possible host-plants of either species. A later journey to this region, in the year 2001, in intention to collect further specimens, was unsuccessful on that score.
