Russian Entomological Journal 32 (2): 149-154, DOI: 10.15298/rusentj.32.2.04, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.15298/rusentj.32.2.04
03CD3411C16E8610D9BD58C3272AFDEB.taxon	materials_examined	MATERIAL. 1 ♂ — Peru, Junin Reg., Satipo Prov., near Rio Venado vill., h = 1122 m, 11 ° 11.787´S 74 ° 46.168´W, 20 – 30.10.2022, leg. A. Sokolov (MSPU). NOTES. This species was described from a single female from Manu Biosphere Reserve, Pakitza Park Ranger Post in the Peruvian Department of Madre de Dios [Sumlin, 1993]. Until now in Peru L. mellicollis was known only from mentioned above locality [Sumlin, 1993; Pearson, Huber, 1994; Erwin, Pearson, 2008]. The main measurements of the holotype (female) are — TL = 7.7 mm, EW = 2.6 mm [Sumlin, 1993], and in collected early female TL = 9.0 mm [Erwin, 1990; Erwin, Pearson, 2008: Pl. 22]. In addition, this species was found in the Colombian Department of Amazonas (according to the map — in Tarapacá Municipality) without sex and number mentions, but with the range of TL = 7.0 – 8.5 mm [Vítolo, Pearson, 2003; Vítolo, 2004]. The information on morphology of the male is still absent [Sumlin, 1993; Pearson, Huber, 1994; Erwin, Pearson, 2008]. Thus, in the Peruvian Region of Junin L. mellicollis is recorded for the first time. Moreover, the male of this species is also illustrated for the first time (Figs 1 – 4). Its main measurements are (in mm) — TL = 7.9, HW = 2.4, OW = 1.5, LL = 0.8, LW = 1.0, PL = 1.4, PW = 1.5, EL = 5.0, EW = 2.6, AL = 2.5. Labrum pale with light brown lateral and basal margins, six teeth and relatively broad and flat apical portion, as well as six long marginal setae (Fig. 2). Three basal tarsomeres of fore legs are very wide and densely haired by long black setae (Figs 1, 3). Aedeagus with very large, curved ventrally hook (Fig. 4).	en	Matalin, A. V.

Until now this species was known from Trinidad, Surinam, Guyana, Colombia, Venezuela, and the Brazilian States of Pará and Amazonas [Moravec, 2016, 2018; Wiesner, 2020]. From other species of the cajennensis species-group O. bipunctata is distinguished by the testaceous abdomen, hind tibia and tarsi as well as basal third or half of fore-tibiae and especially mid-tibiae [Moravec, 2016, 2018]. In Peru O. bipunctata is recorded for the first time.	en	Matalin, A. V. (2023): New species and new records of South and North American tiger beetles (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae).

This species, one of the most common in the genus Odontocheila, is distributed from Colombia, Surinam, Guyana, and French Guiana through Brazil, Peru, and Bolivia to Paraguay and northern Argentina [Moravec, 2018; Wiesner, 2020]. In Paraguay it is found in Amambay, Boquerón, Caazapá, Canindeyú, Central, Concepción, Guairá, Itapúa, Presidente Hayes and San Pedro Departments [Sawada, Wiesner, 2000]. This specimen represents the first record of O chyrysis for Cordillera Department.	en	Matalin, A. V.

This species was originally described from the area of Manicoré town on the Madeira River within the Manicoré Biological Reserve in the Brazilian State of Amazonas [Moravec, 2016], and until now it was known only from the type-locality [Morvaec, 2018; Wiesner, 2020]. From other species of the cajennensis species-group O. emilerivalieri is easily recognised by the complex of following features — completely testaceous labrum as well as metatibiae and metatarsi, bright iridescent green sublateral margins of elytra, entirely black femora and abdominal sternites. This new record from Peru indicates a more widespread distribution of this species in the Amazon basin.	en	Matalin, A. V.

This species was described from La Merced, Rio Toro in the Peruvian Region of Junin (Onín in original description) [Cassola, 1997; Wiesner, 2020]. Thus, these new records from the Pasco Department, which is adjacent to the Junin Dpartment, are not unexpected.	en	Matalin, A. V.

V. 2015, leg. A. Sokolov (all MSPU). NOTES. This subspecies is immediately distinguished by the shape of aedeagus with elongated, slightly curved downwards and spatulated flat apex as well as by its large, rounded yellow-orange elytral spots [Cassola, 1977]. Additionally, anterior margins of abdominal sternites 4 – 6 with three – four, three – six and two – four pair of setae, respectively [our data]. Until now this subspecies was known from Ecuadorian Province Napo [Erwin, Pearson, 2008] as well as from Peruvian departments of Amazonas, Huánuco, and Cusco [Cassola, 1997; Bustamante et al., 2018]. These specimens represent the first record from the Peruvian Department of Junin.	en	Matalin, A. V.

03CD3411C16C8616DAE75F28264AFBF7.taxon	diagnosis	DIAGNOSIS. This new species is related to I. surinamensis Chaudoir, 1862, I. psyche Sumlin, 1994, I. phaedra Sumlin, 1999, and I. opalescens Sumlin, 1999, but recognised by the following features. Iresia petrovi sp. n. has transverse labrum (LW / LL = 1.17) and slightly transverse pronotum (PW / PL = 1.05) vs. in all mentioned above species both labrum and pronotum are approximately as long as wide [Sumlin, 1994, 1999]. On the colouration this new species is similar with I. surinamensis. However, in I. petrovi sp. n. head blue – bluish-green, pronotum and elytra blue-violet (Fig. 6) vs. green head and green with bluish lateral margin of elytra in I. surinamensis [Chaudoir, 1862; Fig. 5]. Moreover, the main proportions are also different: OW / HW = 0.63 and PW / HW = 0.74 in new species vs. OW / HW = 0.50 – 0.52 and PW / HW = 0.60 – 0.65 in I. surinamensis (Table). In I. psyche and I. phaedra antennomeres 5 – 11 black vs. yellow in I. petrovi sp. n. (at least antennomere 5). Additionally, in I. psyche and I. opalescens frons pale, and pronotum black vs. Table.

Moreover, in I. psyche and I. phaedra elytra lacking brownish basal area vs. elytra with light brown basal area in a new species.

03CD3411C16C8616DAE75F28264AFBF7.taxon	etymology	ETYMOLOGY. The new species honours my good friend, the Russian entomologist, Alexander Petrov who collected the holotype. NOTES. At present time Iresia Dejean, 1831 contains 14 arboreal species distributed in the Central and South America [Sumlin, 1994, 1999; Erwin, Pearson, 2008; Wiesner, 2020]. Among them ten species belong to subgenus Palaeoiresia Sumlin, 1994, and a half of them are known only by a type specimen or by the brief series in two – three specimens, in most cases by the females [Sumlin, 1994, 1999]. Thus, the ranges of variability in the size and body ratios in these species are still unclear.	en	Matalin, A. V.

Cicindela limbata has a fragmented distribution area and is separated inti five subspecies [Johnson, 1989; Pearson et al., 2006, 2015]. The nominotypical subspecies inhabits dry sandy areas in south-eastern Wyoming [Vaurie, 1950], southern South Dakota [Kirk, Balsbaugh, 1975], Nebraska [Carter, 1989], north-eastern Colorado [Kippenhan, 1990, 1994] and probably occurs in Kansas [Bousquet, 2012]. In Texas C. l. limbata is recorded for the first time. It should be noted that there is an inaccuracy in the label. St. Jo is placed in Montague County which is adjacent to Cooke County.	en	Matalin, A. V. (2023): New species and new records of South and North American tiger beetles (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae).
