March 2026: Since the original publication of this tool, one new species of Oncioderes Martins and Galileo, 1990Martins and Galileo, 1990:
Martins UR, Galileo MHM. 1990. Onciderini (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae): sinonimias, novos taxons, chaves e notas. Papeis Avulsos de Zoologia. 37(4):53–95. was described (Galileo et al. 2015bGalileo et al. 2015b:
Galileo MHM, Martins UR, Santos-Silva A. 2015b. New species and new records in Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) of the state of Bahia, Brazil. ZooKeys. 517:99-110.). This species is added to "Included Species". Other sections in this fact sheet have not been edited to account for the new species.
Elongate-oblong, moderate to large-sized, ranging from about 10–22 mm in length. Integument generally dark brown or ferrugineous with whitish, ferrugineous, and ochraceous pubescence. Head with frons subquadrate, about as wide as width of 2 1/2 lower eye lobes. Eyes with lower lobes oblong. Genae transverse, distinctly shorter than lower eye lobes. Antennal tubercles prominent, widely separated; tubercles not armed at apex. Antennae about as long as overall body length, or as much as 1 1/3 times as long; scape gradually expanded to apex, about as long or longer than antennomere IV; antennomere III nearly straight or curved, longer than scape and antennomere IV. Pronotum transverse, roughly cylindrical, with or without lateral tubercles. Elytra with sides roughly parallel; elytral apices individually rounded; elytra generally uniform in coloration or speckled; base of elytra without tubercles or with two prominent tubercles at humeri. Basal 1/3 of elytra with moderate to dense punctation, surface finely punctate or coarsely punctate. Procoxae without projection. Mesosternal process with apex subtruncate. Metafemora moderate to short in length, about 1/3–1/4 as long as elytra.
The combination of the following characters will help to distinguish this genus: moderately large eyes; subquadrate frons; gradually expanded scape; strongly transverse, roughly cylindrical pronotum; and elytra with sides roughly parallel.
Strongly resembles some species of Lochmaeocles and Oncideres.
