Abstract

Lampygnatha ikuoi gen. & sp. nov. is described and illustrated from southeast Brazil. A hypothesized mimicry complex that involves the new taxon, Allocerus spencei Kirby (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) and Cratomorphus splendidus (Drury, 1782) (Coleoptera: Lampyridae) is discussed. A key to the identification of all genera of New World Stigmoderini is presented.
