J'hésitais pour Strongylaspis à cause de l'absence d'épines latérales au niveau du pronotum. Mais comme c'est une femelle...

Dans la clé des genres de Macrotomini que l'on retrouve ICI, les premiers couplets vont comme suit:

1. Antennomere III longer than scape; scutellum convex with distinct asperities .......................... 2
— Antennomere III shorter than scape; scutellum flat or slightly concave without distinct asperities...... 3
2(1). Antennomeres serrate. S. Mexico and Costa Rica ............. Parastrongylaspis Giesbert, 1987
— Antennomeres filiform. Mexico to southern S. America ........... Strongylaspis Thomson, 1861

A la lecture du travail de Monné et Santos-Silvas, on retient soit Strongylaspis bullatus Bates, cité du Mexique et du Nicaragua. Ou alors Strongylaspis corticarius Erichson, espèce à large répartition.
Pour le premier, les auteurs se basent sur un mâle unique provenant de Guerrero, donc sur la côte sud donnant sur le Pacifique. Pour le deuxième, les localités mexicaines se situent dans l'extrémité sud-est. Mon spécimen provient de la côte opposée au nord, Veracruz / Las Tuxtlas, sur le Golfe de Mexico. Le travail n'illustre que des mâles alors qu'ici j'ai une femelle... en plus il semblerait que bullatus serait proche (sinon identique?) à corticarius.
Pour le moment je suppose qu'on peut raisonnablement rattacher cette femelle à Strongylaspis corticarius.

Je suis d'accord Pierre... sauf le nom: ça devrait être Strongylaspis corticaria du moment que "aspis" est féminin.
Comme d'hab les américains ont de problèmes avec le genre des noms.

"Comme d'hab les américains ont de problèmes avec le genre des noms."


reading from Linsley, 1961, Cerambycidae of N.A. Part II, Prioninae... page 13.

"Apparently Chevrolat, who coined the word Strongylaspis, intended it to be feminine. However, Thomson, who validated the name, made it masculine and it was so used by Bates"

I think that Europeans also have trouble with gender of names!

You are right Dan, I should not have generalized.
Actually, Thomson and Bates are both English speakers... but Monné and Martins, who keep writing the same error are Portuguese speakers!

This kind of error is particularly annoying for Neo-Latin speakers, since scientific names very often correspond to current words and the error is easily remarked.
I do not know what you think if you read in a paper a sentence like that:
"Mister Schmidt cut her mustache, while her wife shaved his legs"...
