Nemognatha plaumanni BORCHMANN 1942
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Nemognatha plaumanni Borchmann, 1942 (Meloidae: Nemognathinae) was described based on a single specimen (holotype by monotypy) from Nova Teutônia (Type locality: “... Brasilien; Nova Teutonia, Rio Grande do Sul”) collected by F. Plaumann (Borchmann 1942: 708). The type locality, Nova Teutônia, is located at 27°09’49.6’’S – 52°25’27.0’’W, and about 350 m of elevation, in the western region of the State of Santa Catarina [not in Rio Grande do Sul as indicated by Borchmann (1942)]. The Fritz Plaumann Museum of Entomology is currently located in Nova Teutônia. * Author for correspondence Since its description, N. plaumanni has not been mentioned again in any subsequent publication, remaining then as an obscure, almost unknown species from Southern Brazil. However, during the revision of the entomological collections of the Magyar Természettudományi Múzeum (Hungarian Natural History Museum, HNHM, Budapest) and the Natural History Museum (NHM, London), we had the opportunity of studying three additional specimens, all from Nova Teutônia and captured by Fritz Plaumann: (1) N. Teutonia Bras. Santa Catarina. Plaumann 25-XI-50 / Sammlung George Frey / Nemognatha plaumanni Borch., Z. Kaszab det. 1952 [HNHM] (Fig. 1); (2) Brasilia. 15-II-1935. Santa Catharina. Nova Teutonia. leg. F. Plaumann / — / Nemognatha plaumanni Borch., Z. Kaszab det. 1952 [HNHM]; (3) S. Catarina. N. Teutonia. F. Plaumann [NHM]. According to these data, the species was found only in Nova Teutônia, with specimens collected occasionally from the end of November to mid-February. Variability among the specimens studied was observed at the shape of the pronotum: broader and less campaniform in one specimen (Fig. 1), narrower and campaniform in the second. The latero- anterior impression observed in the pronotum of one specimen is likely a consequence of manipulation. During a field survey in the Cordillera de la Costa of the State of Vargas (Venezuela) we found a single specimen, morphologically assignable to N. plaumanni. This extremely distant location was subsequently confirmed with the study of four additional specimens held at the entomological collection of the Museo del Instituto de Zoología Agrícola (MIZA, Maracay) with the following data: (1) Venezuela: Aragua: El Limón, 450 m: 20-IV-1965, 1 ejemplar (J. & B. Bechyne leg.) [MIZA] (Fig. 2); (2) Venezuela: Aragua: El Limón, 450 m: 2-X-1966, 1 ejemplar (J. & B. Bechyne leg.) [MIZA]; (3) Venezuela: Aragua: El Limón, 450 m: 2-VI-1977, 1 ejemplar (B. Bechyne leg.) [MIZA]; (4) Aragua: El Limón, 450 m: 7-VIII-1977, 1 ejemplar (B. Bechyne leg.) [MIZA]; (5) Venezuela: Vargas: 3 km al SO de Chichiriviche, Río Chichiriviche, 10°32’N, 67°14’O, 135 m: 18-II-2004, 1 specimen, “en un tallo de gramínea seca” (M. García- París, J. Manzanilla, D. Buckley & I. Martínez- Solano leg.). Adult specimens were found in the Venezuelan Cordillera de la Costa in the States of Aragua and Vargas, in February, April, June, August, and November, suggesting that adults are active during most of the year. Variability amongst the Venezuelan specimens was similar to that observed amongst the Brazilian specimens.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
