Two new species of Plectromerus Haldeman (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) from the West Indies

Abstract

Two new species of Curiini (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae), Plectromerus lingafelteri from the Dominican Republic and Plectromerus ramosi from Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands are described. Features distinguishing the new species from their congeners are presented. Plectromerus distinctus (Cameron), previously synonymized with P. serratus (Cameron), is restored as a valid species.
