Abstract

The Bolivian species of Polyrhaphis Audinet-Serville, 1835, (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae) are reviewed and illustrated, with P. skillmani new species described. A key is presented to the six species recorded from Bolivia (P. angustata Buquet, 1853; P. argentina Lane, 1978; P. gracilis Bates, 1862; P. pilosa Lane, 1965; P. spinosa (Drury, 1773); and P. skillmani Wappes and Santos-Silva, new species). Their collection localities, based on recently identified specimens examined by the authors, are plotted to show the distribution of species, and displayed next to an ecoregion map of Bolivia to illustrate biogeographical information for Polyrhaphis.

Se presenta una clave para las seis especies conocidas de Bolivia (P. angustata Buquet, 1853; P. argentina Lane, 1978; P. gracilis Bates, 1862; P. pilosa Lane, 1965; P. spinosa (Drury, 1773); y P. skillmani Wappes y Santos-Silva especie nueva). Se trazan sobre un mapa las localidades de colecta, basadas en especímenes identificados recientemente y examinados por los autores, y se muestran junto a un mapa de las ecorregiones de Bolivia para ilustrar la información biogeográfica de Polyrhaphis.
