title: Taxonomic revision of Phygopoda Thomson, 1864 and Pseudophygopoda Tavakilian & Peñaherrera-Leiva, 2007 (Insecta: Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae).
abstract: A taxonomic revision based on the study of the external morphology and the terminalia of Phygopoda Thomson, 1864 and Pseudophygopoda Tavakilian & Peñaherrera-Leiva, 2007 is presented. The genera and their species are redescribed. Five synonymies are proposed: Panamapoda Clarke, 2014 and Paraphygopoda Clarke, 2014 = Pseudophygopoda Tavakilian & Peñaherrera-Leiva, 2007; Paraphygopoda viridimicans (Fisher, 1952); Paraphygopoda nappae Clarke, 2014; and Paraphygopoda longipennis (Zajciw, 1963) = Pseudophygopoda albitarsis (Klug, 1825). The genus Phygopoda is composed of five species: Phygopoda fugax Thomson, 1864; Phygopoda fulvitarsis Gounelle, 1911; Phygopoda ingae Peñaherrera-Leiva & Tavakilian, 2004; Phygopoda jacobi Fuchs, 1961; and Phygopoda nigritarsis Gounelle, 1911. Pseudophygopoda is now composed of three species: Pseudophygopoda subvestita (White, 1855), Pseudophygopoda panamensis (Giesbert, 1996) comb. nov., and Pseudophygopoda albitarsis (Klug, 1825) comb. nov. New geographical records are reported for six species. A key to the species of Phygopoda and Pseudophygopoda, photographs, plates of drawings, and maps of the geographical distribution of the species are provided.
