Abstract

The Brazilian fauna of Meloidae is poorly studied, even though it includes more than 160 species. In this paper, we aimed at widening the knowledge on four species of blister beetles from this country. Specifically, we defined the uncertain range of Tetraonyx angulicollis, as extended in south-eastern Brazil rather than in Mexico, and implemented the description of the species with figures. We studied the taxonomy and distribution of three almost unknown species of Nemognatha from Brazil, São Paulo State, providing descriptions and figures of sexual characters and colour variability of N. beauregardi, to which is probably referable as a junior synonym of N. plaumanni, of N. rufoscutellaris and of N. cfr. gounellei. Moreover, we assigned these three species to the subgenus Pauronemognatha, recently recorded from South America.
四种几乎不为人知的巴西蛾科(鞘翅目)的分类与区系研究
巴西的Meloidae动物群研究得很少,尽管它包括160多种。在本文中,我们的目的是扩大对该国的四种水疱甲虫的认识。具体来说,我们将角鼻四onyx定义为扩展在巴西东南部而不是在墨西哥的不确定范围,并对该物种进行了图形描述。本文对巴西圣保罗州三种几乎不为人知的Nemognatha进行了分类和分布研究,给出了N. beauregardi(可能是N. plaumanni、N. rufoscutellaris和N. cfr的初级同义种)的性别特征和颜色变异性的描述和图形。gounellei。此外,我们将这三个物种归为最近在南美洲记录到的波罗那马亚属。
