Abstract

Nomenclatural changes in Caryedes Hummel (Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae) are proposed within the context of a full taxonomic revision and phylogenetic study. Three new synonymies are proposed: Bruchus godmaniSharp, 1885 = Caryedes cristatus (Fåhaeus, 1839); Bruchus gounelleiPic, 1923 = Caryedes juno (Sharp, 1885); Bruchus diversipesPic, 1927=Caryedes longifrons (Sharp, 1885). Two synonymies are confirmed: Pseudopachymerus multinotatus paulonotatusPic, 1930 = Caryedes clitoriae (Gyllenhal, 1839); Pseudopachymerus cristatus velutinotatusPic, 1936 = Caryedes cristatus (Fåhaeus, 1839). Lectotypes for six species are designated: Bruchus cristatus Fåhraeus, 1839; Bruchus (Pachymeri) clitoriaeGyllenhal, 1839; Pseudopachymerus multinotatus paulonotatusPic, 1930; Pseudopachymerus cristatus velutinotatusPic, 1930; Pseudopachymerus (Falsobruchus) gounelleiPic, 1923; Bruchus diversipesPic 1927. Caryedes is now represented by 40 valid species.
