Abstract
Three new species of Puto Signoret, 1876 are described and illustrated from material intercepted at US plant quarantine inspection, including the adult females, all available immature stages, and for two species, the adult male. Puto philo Powell & Miller, sp. n. and Puto brom Powell & Miller, sp. n. are described from Mexico, and Puto spath Powell & Miller, sp. n. is described from Guatemala. Three keys are included to: the instars of Puto, the New World species of Puto based on adult females, and a world key to the adult males of Puto.
期刊介绍:
Zootaxa is a peer-reviewed international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic zoology, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs and revisions. Zootaxa considers papers on all animal taxa, both living and fossil, and especially encourages descriptions of new taxa. All types of taxonomic papers are considered, including theories and methods of systematics and phylogeny, taxonomic monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues/checklists, biographies and bibliographies, identification guides, analysis of characters, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeographical patterns of distribution, descriptions of taxa, and nomenclature. Open access publishing option is strongly encouraged for authors with research grants and other funds. For those without grants/funds, all accepted manuscripts will be published but access is secured for subscribers only.
