New species and new records of flat-faced longhorned beetles (Cerambycidae, Lamiinae) from the Brazilian Northeast Region
Lamiinae is the most diverse group of Cerambycidae, comprising 20 589 valid species, of which over 2200 are known from Brazil, with many species recently described for the country. The Brazilian Northeast Region includes four Brazilian biomes and, historically, has received less attention in terms of research on biodiversity. However, considering only Lamiinae, the Brazilian Northeast is the third most diverse region in the country. Herein, we describe two new species of flat-faced longhorned beetles from the Brazilian Northeast Region: Apagomerella nordestina sp. nov. and Malacoscylus licae sp. nov. Additionally, we provide two new records for the region: Acanthoderes (Acanthoderes) daviesii (Swederus, 1787) from Pernambuco State and Lachnia subcincta Audinet-Serville, 1835 from Ceará State.
