Heilipus draco differs from most of the congeneric species by: the straighter rostrum (Figs. 2, 4, 7, 8); the less elongate body; the pronotum being wider than long (0.76–0.91 times as long as wide); the elytra being 1.30– 1.43 times as long as wide (Figs. 1–4); the whitish (Figs. 1, 2) or yellowish (Figs. 3, 4) lateral stripes of imbricate oval-shaped scales along each side of the pronotum; the whitish or yellowish C-shaped lateral stripe of imbricate oval-shaped scales extending along the anterior half to two thirds of the elytral length (Figs. 1–4); an irregularly bordered round patch of yellowish scales enclosing the prominent declivital callus (Figs. 5, 6); and the elytral patches not being connected in most specimens. This species resembles H. odoratus, H. parvulus and H. vividaensis Sanz-Veiga, Savaris &amp; Leivas, sp. nov. in having a similar scale pattern, namely, a lateral pronotal stripe, a C-shaped elytral stripe and a round declivital patch. From H. odoratus it differs mainly by: the shorter (1.60–2.28 mm long, 1.05–1.32 times as long as the pronotum), almost straight rostrum (longer and weakly curved in H. odoratus); the pronotum being wider than long (as long as wide in H. odoratus); the elytra being wider and less elongate (more elongate in H. odoratus); the pronotal and elytral patches having denser, imbricate whitish or yellowish scales (less dense, brownish or pale brown scales in H. odoratus); the penis body being slender, less arcuate in lateral view, with a strong preapical constriction and more narrower apex (Fig. 15) (penis body wider at basal half, more arcuate, with less strong preapical constriction and wider apex in H. odoratus). It differs from H. parvulus by: the straighter rostrum (more curved in H. parvulus); the pronotum being wider with a less convex disc (slender and more convex in H. parvulus); the pronotal and elytral patches with scales more closely arranged, either whitish or yellowish pronotal stripe and C-shaped elytral stripe, and yellowish declivital patch (less closely arranged, mostly pale yellow scales, mottled whitish and yellowish scales in H. parvulus); the pronotal and elytral patches being wider (slender in H. parvulus); the protibial uncus being longer than meso- and metatibial uncus (almost same size in H. parvulus). From H. vividaensis it differs mainly by: the shorter and almost straight rostrum (longer a more curved in H. vividaensis); the shallower depression on the posterior third of pronotum (stronger depression in H. vividaensis); the wider pronotal and elytral lateral stripes of whitish or yellowish scales that are more closely arranged (brownish scales less closely arranged in H. vividaensis); the abdominal ventrites being slightly less convex (more convex in H. vividaensis); the penis body narrowing from the basal third toward the apex, with a stronger preapical constriction and narrower apex (slightly narrowing toward the apex, with very weak preapical constriction in H. vividaensis); the wider gonocoxites (more slender in H. vividaensis); and the wider apical distance between the two arms of female sternite VIII (Fig. 23) (smaller distance in H. vividaensis).</p><p>Description. Body 5.7–8.4 mm long in males, and 5.5–8.5 mm long in females; integument slightly rugose and shining, from reddish-brown to dark and light brown; sparsely covered with short pale-brown or yellowish scales; with imbricate oval-shaped white or yellowish scales delimiting a stripe along each side of pronotum, sometimes bordered with pale or whitish scales; a lateral C-shaped whitish or yellowish stripe, sometimes bordered with pale or whitish scales, extending along anterior half up to two thirds of elytral length; and an irregular round yellowish patch, sometimes bordered with pale or whitish scales, enclosing the prominent declivital callus (Figs. 1–6).

Sternite VIII with two subtriangular glabrous plates, both wider than long (Fig. 13). Sternite IX emarginate with two inverted lobes at base; slender apical lobes; slender and curved spiculum gastrale (Fig. 13). Penis body about 5 times as long as wide, 1.2 times longer than penis apodeme; wider at basal third; sides narrowing toward the apex; with strong preapical constriction and narrow apex; apical margin slightly rounded (Figs. 15, 16); penis body arcuate in lateral view; acuminate apically (Fig. 17).

Ventrally, elytral apical surface with a patch of parallel ridges perpendicular to the suture in male (Fig. 10), rugose and without ridges in female (Fig. 12). This last characteristic may be associated with the presence of the stridulatory apparatus in males, similar to that observed in H. odoratus and H. gibbus (see Nunes et al. 2009; Vanin &amp; Bená 2015).</p><p>Remarks. Heilipus draco has been cited as morphologically similar to Heilipus odoratus Vanin &amp; Gaiger, 2005, a species reared from seeds of A. rosodora in the Amazonia Forest of Brazil (Vanin &amp; Gaiger 2005). It is also similar to H. vividaensis Sanz-Veiga, Savaris &amp; Leivas, sp. nov. with which it shares the same host plants.</p><p>Distribution. This species is widespread in Central America (Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, and Panama), the West Indies (Cuba), and South America (Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Guyana (type locality), Paraguay, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela) (Fabricius 1801; Champion 1902; O'Brien &amp; Wibmer 1982; Wibmer &amp; O'Brien 1986; Janzen 1987; Morrone 1999; Gripenberg et al. 2019; Downey et al. 2020; Díaz-Grisales et al. 2021; Pessotto et al. 2021). In Brazil, this species is known from the states of Rio Grande do Sul (Santa Maria and Taquaruçu do Sul), Santa Catarina (Chapecó, Seara (district of Nova Teutônia), Corupá, Timbó), Paraná (Coronel Vivida, Irati, Prudentópolis and Vitorino), São Paulo (Guapiara, Piracicaba and São Sebastião), and Rio de Janeiro (Corcovado) (Fig. 44).</p><p>Biology. This species has been recorded in association with fruits of Damburneya salicifolia in Mexico (Rodríguez-Sánchez et al. 2022), Mespilodaphne veraguensis in Costa Rica (Janzen 1987), Ocotea puberula, O. oblonga, O. cernua, Nectandra cissiflora, N. lineata, Beilschmiedia tovarensis and Aiouea montana in Panama (Gripenberg et al. 2019; Downey et al. 2020), O. porosa in Santa Catarina (Hirano 2004) and O. puberula in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil (Pessotto et al. 2021).

This species differs from most of the congeneric species by: the less elongate body; the pronotum being wider than long (0.77–0.86 times as long as wide); the elytra being 1.30–1.50 times as long as wide (Figs. 24, 25); the lateral stripe of closely arranged brownish scales bordered by whitish scales along each side of the pronotum (Figs. 28, 29); the C-shaped lateral stripe of closely arranged brownish scales bordered by whitish scales extending along the anterior three fourths of the elytral length (Figs. 24, 25); an irregularly bordered round patch of brownish scales bordered by whitish scales enclosing the prominent declivital callus (Figs. 26, 27); and the elytral patches not being connected in most specimens. This species resembles H. draco, H. odoratus and H. parvulus in having a similar scale pattern, namely, a pronotal lateral stripe, a C-shaped elytral stripe and a round declivital patch. From H. draco it differs by: the longer (2.35–3.20 mm long, 1.34–1.76 times as long as the pronotum) and more curved rostrum (Figs. 28, 29) (shorter and almost straight in H. draco); the stronger depression in the posterior third of the pronotal disc (shallower depression in H. draco); the body scales being sparser and slightly longer (somewhat denser and shorter body scales in H. draco); the pronotal and elytral patches (Fig. 26) being more slender with sparser brownish scales (wider patches with more closely arranged whitish or yellowish scales in H. draco); the abdominal ventrites being more convex (slightly less convex in H. draco); the penis body (Fig. 36) slightly narrowing toward the apex, with very weak preapical constriction and a wider apex (narrowing from basal third toward apex with stronger preapical constriction and narrower apex in H. draco); the more slender gonocoxites (Fig. 42) (wider in H. draco); and the smaller apical distance between the two arms of female sternite VIII (Fig. 43) (wider distance in H. draco). From H. odoratus it can be distinguished by: the longer and more curved rostrum (shorter and less curved in H. odoratus); the pronotum being wider than long (almost as long as wide in H. odoratus); the penis body being more slender, less arcuate in lateral view (Fig. 38), with a faint preapical constriction and slightly narrower apex (Fig. 36) (penis body wider at basal half, more arcuate, with stronger preapical constriction and wider apex in H. odoratus). From H. parvulus it differs by: the longer and more curved rostrum (shorter and weakly curved in H. parvulus); the pronotum being wider with a less convex disc (slender and more convex in H. parvulus); the C-shaped elytral stripe and declivital patch with more densely arranged brownish scales, never with yellowish and whitish scales mixed (less closely arranged mostly pale yellow scales, sometimes mottled whitish and yellowish scales in H. parvulus); the protibial uncus being longer than meso- and metatibial uncus (almost the same size in H. parvulus).</p><p>Description.

Tergite VIII subquadrate, 1.4 times wider than long; apex convex with round sides; laterally slightly acuate or almost straight; with lateral margins more strongly emarginate near the middle; basally with a subquadrate projection on each side; dorsally covered with short setae, glabrous at basal third (Figs. 34, 35). Sternite VIII with two triangular glabrous plates, both almost as long as wide (Fig. 34). Sternite IX emarginate with two inverted lobes at base; slender apical lobes; slender and curved spiculum gastrale (Fig. 34). Penis body about 4 times as long as wide, 1.3 times longer than the penis apodeme; wider at basal third; sides slightly narrowing toward apex; with very weak preapical constriction; slightly round or almost flat apical margin (Figs. 36, 37); penis body arcuate in lateral view; acuminate apically (Fig. 38). Tegmen parameroid lobes approximate at base and parallel; longer than tegminal apodeme; almost half the penis body length; tegminal apodeme short, curved and enlarged at anterior end (Fig. 39). Female terminalia. Tergite VIII subtrapezoid; almost twice wider than long; wider at base; lateral margins weakly emarginate at basal fifth; convex at apex; dorsally covered with fine setae on apical third; ventrally with setae just on apical margin (Fig. 42); weakly sclerotized at basal three fourths. Sternite VIII sclerotized, Y-shaped, with large apically expanded glabrous arms twice longer than the spiculum ventrale; spiculum ventrale expanded and bisinuous at base (Fig. 43). Gonocoxite elongate, about four times longer than wide; glabrous and weakly sclerotized; styli cylindrical, short, almost as long as wide, with few small setae on apex (Fig. 42). Bursa copulatrix elongate, membranous; three times longer than wide; anteriorly expanded; with common oviduct inserted near the middle; spermathecal duct inserted anteriorly (Fig. 40). Well-sclerotized C-shaped spermatheca; ramus slightly longer than wide, positioned just after the basal third; spermathecal gland membranous, oval, 1.4 times the length of the spermatheca (Fig. 41).</p><p>External sexual dimorphism. Rostrum of female longer and slightly more slender than the male, with both the curvature and the lateral constriction after antennal insertion more pronounced (Figs. 28, 29). Median depression of metaventrite and ventrite I deeper in male. Ventrally, the apical elytral surface with a patch of parallel ridges perpendicular to the suture in male (Fig. 31), rugose and without ridges in female (Fig. 33). This last characteristic may be associated with the presence of the stridulatory apparatus in males, similar to that observed in H. odoratus and H. gibbus (Nunes et al. 2009; Vanin &amp; Bená 2015).</p><p>Distribution. Brazil: Santa Catarina (Seara, District of Nova Teutônia and Rio Vermelho), Paraná (Coronel Vivida, Caviúna (currently municipality of Rolândia), Curitiba, Colombo, Foz do Iguaçu), São Paulo (Guapiara) and Bahia (no municipality data); Argentina: Misiones (Santa Maria) (Fig. 44). This species can potentially occur along the distribution of the hosts Ocotea puberula and Nectandra angustifolia .</p><p>Biology. This species was reared from fruits of O. puberula and N. angustifolia ( Lauraceae). Between February and April of 2020 adult weevils emerged from the fruits of O. puberula (17♂ and 4♀) sampled at Coronel Vivida, state of Paraná. In March and April of 2022 adults were obtained from the fruits of N. angustifolia (1♂ and 1♀) sampled in February of 2022 at Guapiara, state of São Paulo. Even though H. draco was almost five times more frequent than H. vividaensis on fruits of O. puberula from Paraná, both species were reared from the fruits collected in the same plant at Coronel Vivida, and also from the same plant of N. angustifolia in Guapiara.</p><p>Type data. <a href="https://tb.plazi.org/GgServer/search?materialsCitation.longitude=-52.555305&amp;materialsCitation.latitude=-25.989918" title="Search Plazi for locations around (long -52.555305/lat -25.989918)">The</a> holotype male is labeled “ BRAZIL: Paraná: Coronel Vivida, Flor da Serra, BR 373, km 478, 3 Jan 2020, 25°59'23.7"S 52°33'19.1"W, 793 m, reared from fruits of Ocotea puberula, M.

The specific name is given in relation to the municipality name where some specimens from the type series were collected (“Coronel Vivida”), by adding the suffix of the latin “ensis” (belonging to) in agreement with the grammatical gender of Heilipus (male). The legend surrounding the name of this city is curious. The municipality name was given in honor of a personality from Palmas, in Paraná, called Coronel Firmino Teixeira Batista (1834–1903). Colonel Firmino was called “Coronel Vivida”, because, according to the story, he frequently used the expression “que vida!”, which in English means "what a life!". However, the colonel was known for his stutter. This notably led to his pronunciation of "que vida!" as "que vivida!", leading to his nickname (Carneiro et al. 2005).</p><p>DNA Barcoding. After the sequences were edited and aligned, the COI barcode region yielded fragments of 601 bp in the final dataset. Sequences of H. draco and H. vividaensis were deposited at GenBank under the accession numbers PP354862–PP354871 and PP354872–PP354875, respectively.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03972851C02FFFE8FF5E58BDB724FE5F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
