Resumen:
At
present, only hemelytra and connexival color patterns are diagnostic characters
for differentiating Microtomus tibialis
Stichel and Microtomus sticheli Costa
Lima. After analysis of several specimens from Brazil (Minas Gerais, Goiás,
Bahia) and Bolivia (Santa Cruz), we conclude that M. sticheli is a synonym of M.
tibialis. The diagnostic characters are variable and of low discriminatory
value. Microtomus tibialis is
redescribed, including male and female genitalia.
