A new species of Hippopsis Lepeletier & Audinet-Serville, 1825 from Panama and
key to species (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae)
Abstract
Hippopsis raberi sp. nov. is described from Darién National Park, Panama. A key to 40 species of the genus is provided.
Introduction
Currently, Hippopsis Lepeletier and Audinet-Serville, 1825 includes 41 species distributed from the United States
of America to southern South America (Monné 2016). Only H. septemlineata Breuning, 1940 is known from
Panama (Monné & Giesbert 1994), but not listed in Monné (2016). However, it seems evident to us that species
occurring in Colombia and Costa Rica also will occur in Panama. Breuning (1962) and Martins & Galileo (2006)
revised Hippopsis and provided a key to species of the genus. Herein, we describe a new species from Darién
National Park in Panama. The southern area of this park borders Colombia. Thus, it is expected that the species will
also occur in Colombia.
Photographs were taken with a Canon EOS Rebel T3i DSLR camera, Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5X macro lens,
controlled by Zerene Stacker AutoMontage software. Measurements were taken in ‘‘mm’’ using a micrometer
ocular Hensoldt/Wetzlar - Mess 10 in the Leica MZ6 stereomicroscope, also used in the study of the specimen.

Description. Holotype male. Integument mostly black; mouthparts reddish-brown; gula and antennomeres brown.
Pubescence yellow.

Etymology. The new species is named after Brian Raber, collector of the holotype, colleague and personal
friend of the third author.
Remarks. Hippopsis raberi sp. nov. belongs to the group of species with pronotum not transversely rugose
and elytral apex concavely truncate. It resembles H. truncatella Bates, 1866, but differs primarily as follows: in
frontal view, head proportionally wider (Fig. 4); vertex without distinct longitudinal bands of pubescence (Fig. 6);
pronotal punctures coarser (Fig. 6); innermost longitudinal band of pubescence on elytra reaching suture (Fig. 1);
protarsomeres I–III wider (Fig. 5). In H. truncatella, the head is proportionally narrower (Fig. 8), vertex with
longitudinal bands of pubescence (Fig. 9), pronotal punctures finer (Fig. 9), innermost longitudinal band of
pubescence on elytra not reaching suture (Fig. 7), and protarsomeres I–III distinctly narrower (Fig. 10).
