The lined flat bark beetles (Coleoptera: Laemophloeidae) from Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, with the first record of Propalticinae Crowson, 1952 in the New World

This paper records and illustrates the Laemophloeidae from the Brazilian oceanic archipelago of Fernando de Noronha. This family is represented in the region by two subfamilies and five genera, each of which includes a single species: Cryptolestes ferrugineus (Stephens, 1831), Dysmerus impolitusThomas, 2009, Lathropus parvulus Grouvelle, 1878, and Rhabdophloeus sp. (all Laemophloeinae); and Propalticus sp. (sole representative of Propalticinae). All the taxa are hereby newly recorded in Fernando de Noronha (except Rhabdophloeus sp.). Based on these findings, Propalticinae Crowson, 1952 represents a new record for the New World, while Lathropus Erichson, 1845 is recorded for the first time in Brazil. In addition, Propalticus sp. is briefly characterized and illustrated, including the female genital morphology. We also provide an illustrated key to subfamilies and genera of Laemophloeidae from Fernando de Noronha.
