Abstract

A new genus (Chanealtica) with three new species (Chanealtica cuevas, Chanealtica ellimon, and Chanealtica maxi) from Bolivia is described and illustrated. It is compared with Aphthonoides Jacoby, 1885, Argopistes Motschulsky, 1860, Metroserrapha Bechyne, 1958, Psylliodes Berthold, 1827 and Psyllototus Nadein, 2010. Remarkably, based on the available characters, among all the flea beetles, Chanealtica is mostly similar to an extinct genus Psyllototus. A discussion of diversity and function of the hind leg in flea beetles is provided.

摘要

描述并图示了一个来自玻利维亚的新属（Chanealtica）及三个新物种（库埃瓦斯Chanealtica cuevas、埃利蒙Chanealtica ellimon和马克西Chanealtica maxi）。将其与1885年的Aphthonoides Jacoby、1860年的Argopistes Motschulsky、1958年的Metroserrapha Bechyne、1827年的Psylliodes Berthold以及2010年的Psyllototus Nadein进行了比较。值得注意的是，根据现有的特征，在所有跳甲中，Chanealtica与已灭绝的Psyllototus属最为相似。还提供了关于跳甲后腿多样性和功能的讨论。
