Chalcosicya maya n. sp, a new Mexican species (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Eumoplinae) and its implications for morphology and biogeography
- Chalcosicya maya, new species, (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Eumolpinae) is described and the species key of Blake (1951) is modified to accommodate it. This is the first known mainland species of this previously Antillean genus. Sclerotized rods in the apical segment of the ovipositor of Chalcosicya Blake and related genera are shown to be useful systematic characters within the eumolpine tribe Adoxini. Relationships with other genera suggest that Chalcosicya belongs to a clade derived from ancestors with a western Tethyian distribution.
- Se describe Chalcosicya maya especie nueva (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Eumolpinae). Esta es la primera especie conocida de tierra continente de este género previamente Antillano. La clave a las especies de Blake (1951) está modificado para acomodar esta especie nueva. Bielas esclerotizadas en el segmento apical del ovipositor en Chalcosicya y en géneros relacionados se ven como characteres filogeneticos útiles dentro del tribo Adoxini. Relaciones con otros géneros sugieren que Chalcosicya pertence a un clado derivado de ancestros con una distribución del Tethys oeste.
