Enthephippion borelli (Giglio-Tos, 1897) ,

sp. resurr. et comb. nov.

( Figs 231–238 )

= Ligocatinus sordidus Rehn, 1921 , syn. nov.

Material studied. BOLIVIA: 2 males, 3 females, Santa Cruz Department, 23 km SW of Santa Cruz City, El Sol Natural Park (small private area with secondary forest), ~ 600 m, on leaves of bushes at night, 14–16 February 2014, A. Gorochov ; 3 males, 1 female, same province, ~ 70 km SW of Santa Cruz City, Amboro National Park , “Refugio Los Volcanes”, ~ 1000 m, primary forest, on leaves of bushes near road at daytime, 16–17 February 2014, A. Gorochov ; 2 females, southern part of Santa Cruz Department (near Brazil), environs of Puerto Suares Town on Rio Paraguay (Parana Basin), ~ 200 m, secondary forest, on leaves of tree at night, 4–5 February 2014, A. Gorochov .

Notes. This Bolivian species was synonymized with E. olivaceum by Chamorro-Rengifo and Braun (2010). However, these species have different shape of the pronotal lateral lobes and ovipositor: E. borelli has these lobes clearly less obliquely truncated and somewhat shorter in lower half, and its ovipositor is also distinctly shorter and more acute at the apex (see Figs 237 and 240 ). These characters allow me to restore this species and to synonymize it with L. sordidus .
