New species and new records of Neotrachys Obenberger, 1923, from Central America and the Antilles (Coleoptera: Buprestidae)

Recent collections of the genus Neotrachys have necessitated a review of the species in the genus. The following new species are described: Neotrachys mariae sp. nov., Neotrachys chiriquiensis sp. nov., Neotrachys cuprascens sp. nov., Neotrachys refulgens sp. nov., Neotrachys nelsoni sp. nov., Neotrachys andrewsi sp. nov., Neotrachys solisi, sp. nov. and Neotrachys bellamyi, sp. nov. Neotrachys estebana (Kerremans, 1896) is not considered to occur in Central Amarica or Panama. Neotrachys panamaensis (Fisher, 1924) is determined to be the valid name for Trachys cyanipennis Fisher, 1922. Neotrachys caerulea Hespenheide, 1982, and N. concinna (Fisher, 1922) are recorded for the first time from Panama; N. segregata (Waterhouse, 1889), for the first time from Honduras and Mexico; N. dominicanus Thery, 1947, for the first time from Guadeloupe; N. fennahi Thery, 1940, for the first time from Martinique. Leiopleura cupeyali Zayas, 1988, and L. cyanea Zayas, 1988, are transferred to Neotrachys. A key is provided for Central American species. This paper is dedicated to the memory of G. H. Nelson.
