Lepturges (Lepturges) melzeri Gilmour 1959, comb. nov.

Lepturges (Lepturges) melzeri Gilmour, 1959, comb. nov. (Figs 38–42) Lepturges humilis Melzer, 1935: 201 (not Lepturges humilis Bates, 1863). Lepturges melzeri Gilmour, 1959: 7. Urgleptes melzeri; Monné, 1976: 357. Remarks. Gilmour (1959) used L. melzeri as a replacement name for L. humilis Melzer, 1935 (Figs 38–40) due to homonymy with L. humilis Bates, 1863. Monné (1976) transferred L. melzeri to Urgleptes Dillon, 1956. However, the punctures on the posterior area of the pronotum (Figs 39–40) do not extend toward the sides of the prothorax. In Urgleptes, these punctures extend clearly to the sides of the prothorax and this is the main difference between these two genera. Often, the isolated punctures on the upper part of the prothorax near the pronotum are confused with the row or rows of punctures on the pronotum. These punctures on the sides of the prothorax are relatively common in the species of Lepturges (Lepturges) (e.g., Figs 41–42). However, these punctures on the sides of the prothorax, which are sometimes small crateriform tubercles, are not connected to the pronotal punctures. Currently, it is known from Brazil (Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo) (Bezark 2024, Monné 2024b, Tavakilian & Chevillotte 2023).
