Description

Aegomorphus consentaneus (Thomson, 1865)

(Fig. 7)

Psapharochrus consentaneus Thomson, 1865: 544.

Remarks. This species was described based on syntypes from Brazil (without detailed locality). Lameere (1884) was first to report a specific locality: near Rio de Janeiro (Brazil, Rio de Janeiro). Currently it is known from Brazil (Amazonas, Pará, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro) and Bolivia (Cochabamba, Santa Cruz) (Monné 2023; Bezark 2023b; Tavakilian & Chevillotte 2023).

The typical form of A. consentaneus has the outer apical angle of the elytra distinctly spiniform. However, we have already examined specimens with the apical spine short or just barely protruding, as in the specimen from Ecuador. Furthermore, the outer elytral apex is quite variable in A. jaspideus (Germar, 1823), a species quite similar to A. consentaneus, of which we have examined hundreds of specimens.

Material examined. ECUADOR (new country record), Napo: Yasuní Scientific Station, 00º46’36”S 78º57’58”W, 210 m, 1 male, 15.IV.1998, K. Will leg. (LGBC).
