A key to obviously similar genera of this tribe, based on mandible shape, is proposed. A new species, Barra baruskae sp. nov., ftom Nicaragua is described, male genitalia arc studied and illustrated. A key to the now three known species of Barra, and colour photographs are provided. New data on the distribution of Brevibarra scotosagis Jordan, 1906 from Brazil and Ecuador, including illustration of genitalia and colour habitus photographs, are provided. Key words: Anthribinae, Piesocoryni types, species discovery, male genitalia, Brazil, Feuador, Nicaragua Introduction ‘The tribe Piesocorynini Valentine, 1960 (Anthribidae: Anthribinae) at present comprises a total of 14 genera, ten of which occur in the Neotropical region (Barra Jordan, 1904, Barridia Jordan, 1906, Brachycorynus Valentine, 1998 (also occurs in the Nearctic region), Brevibarra Jordan, 1906, Lagopecus Dejean, 1834, Opisolia Jordan, 1926, Phaenotheriopsis Wolfrum, 1931, Piesocorynus Dejean, 1834, Piezobarra Jordan, 1906, and Piezonemus Jordan, 1904), two in the Palaearctic (Phaenotherion Frivaldszky, 1877, and Phaenotheriosoma Frieser, 1978), one predominantly in south Africa (Phaenotheriolum Ganglbauer, 1903), and one genus occurs in the Palaearetic and the Oriental regions (Borriessa Jordan, 1928), We follow herein a tribal arrangement based on Valentine (1960), Valentine (1998), and Alonso-Zarazaga & Lyal (1999, 2002), with additional generic assignments proposed by ‘Tryzna & Valentine (2011). ‘As was previously indicated (e.g, Tryzna & Valentine 2011, Tryzna & Bafat 2021), the tribal classification of the family Anthribidae is still considered to be imperfectly supported by morphological data, Nevertheless, the ba- sic morphological characters of the tribe Piesocorynini are: antennae inserted laterally, antennal scrobes foveiform, not visible from above, antennal club three segmented, antennomeres II as long as or longer than antennomere I, rostrum wider than long, underside of rostrum without deep transverse sulcus, eyes coarsely faceted, maximum 26 rows of ommatidia perpendicular to long axis, eyes entire or only weekly truncate anteriad, pronotum with dorsal Accepted by R. Anderson: 4 Nox. 2022; published: xx xxx. 2022 m transverse carina (completely basal, sub-basal or antebasal) (see also Jordan 1906, Valentine 1960, Valentine 1998, Legalov 2018, Orellana & Barrios 2021) ‘The genus Barra at present contains three known species, including one species described herein. Barra gounel- Jei Jordan, 1904 (type species of the genus) and B. salamandrina Frieser, 1983 are known so far from Brazil, and B. baruska sp. nov., described based on two males, is known only from the type locality in Nicaragua The genus Brevibarra is monotypic. Breviharra scofosagis was known so far from Panama (Jordan 1906, Orel- lana & Barrios 2021) and French Guiana (Rheinheimer 2016). Additional specimens were collected in Ecuador in 2004 and 2022, and one more specimen comes from Brazil (all published herein). Material from Ecuador was acquired thanks to a newly initiated international research project in cooperation ‘with Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo (ESPOCH), Riobamba, Ecuador (see Acknowledgements). ‘Material and methods In this work, we measure selected body parts as follows (all measurements are taken in a strictly dorsal position) length of head = distance from posterior (basal) margin of eyes to most anterior part of rostrum (apex of rostrum); length of rostrum = distance from anterior margin of eyes to most anterior part of rostrum (apex of rostrum): total body length = distance from pygidium to anterior margin of pronotum (measured dorsally) and total length of head. Antennomere I (more precisely, stalk of scape) is partially hidden in the serobe, and is hence excluded from mea- surement, The term ‘dorsal ocular index’ refers to the ratio of the minimum width of the vertex to the maximum ‘width of the eye; itis easiest to ea across the eyes minus minimum interocular distance (e g. Tryzna & Bait 2021) Genitalia were prepared from a gently moistened specimen from which the whole abdomen has been separated and placed in a small tube with 12% potassium hydroxide solution (KOH) and heated to boiling point for several ‘minutes until all soft tissues were adequately macerated. Genitalia were subsequently placed in distilled water for description and illustration. Finally, genitalia were stored in glycerol in a small vial mounted on the pin with the corresponding specimen, For the description of genitalia, we use the terminology of Holloway (1982) and Wanat (2007). ‘The label data of the type material examined are cited verbatim, including possible errors, using a slash (/) to separate lines on one label and a double slash (/) for dividing data on different labels ‘The following abbreviations are used: {p} printed, [h} handwritten, Additional or explanatory comments by the authors are given in square brackets. External body parts were photographed with a Nikon D850 camera in combination with a Tamron AF SP 90 mm F/2.8 Di Macro 1:1, Raynox DCR-250, Raynox MSN-202, Raynox MSN-S0S, with macro lens, and final images ‘were assembled using Helicon Focus 8.1. When taking photographs of the lateral view of the body, the left side was primarily photographed. In case of the type material, the better preserved or more suitable (visible) side of the body ‘was photographed, as re-mounting simply to obtain better pictures, was not felt to be sufficiently justified culate if measured as twice the minimum interocular distance / maximum width Tre specimens studied are deposited in the following collections: BMNH Natural History Museum (formerly British Museum, Natural History), London, UK.

Results ‘Taxonomy Neotropical genera of the tribe Piesocorynini were divided into two distinet groups based on the shape of the man- dibles (see also Valentine 1998: 271). The first group has the mandibles (outer edge) straight along their entire length, only turing sharply inwards at the very apex. This shape of the mandibles we could term “cychroid’, based (on similarity to the mandibles of the genus Scaphinotus Dejean, 1826 (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Cychrini). The second group has the mandibles more o ess bent along their entire length, or along a substantial part of it. If we compare the shape of the mandibles again with carabids, then they resemble those of the genus Ceroglossus Solier, 1848 (Carabini), ‘Neotropical genera of the tribe Piesocorynini can be ide!

There he worked as a farmer, teacher, photographer and businessman, As an autodidact, he observed and described the regional fauna and dis- covered ca. 1,500 species of insects. During 70 years of scientific work he created a collection of more than 80,000 specimens of insects of ca. 17,000 different species, Since 1988 it has formed the basis of the Museu Entomologico, Fritz Plaumann in Seara (formerly Nova Teut6nia) in Brazil Barra gounellei Jordan, 1904 (Figs 49, 56-61, 75) Barra gounellei Jordan, 1904: 275.
