INTRODUCTION
The state of Espírito Santo, located in southeastern Brazil (Fig. 1), has all of its territory covered by the Atlantic Forest domains, one of the most biodiverse and threatened biome on the planet (Brown & Gibson, 1983). Despite maintaining only 8.85% of its territory with its original vegetal coverage, the state contains several preserved fragments of Atlantic Forest, with distinct vegetation formations determined mainly by geological and edaphoclimatic factors (Garay et al., 2004;Peixoto et al., 2008). This vegetational heterogeneity has resulted in the formation of several ecosystems conducive to the development of a great wealth of insect species.
Cerambycidae, one of the most diverse Coleoptera families, are very common in forest ecosystems where they play important roles in maintaining and evolving ecological processes through numerous natural mechanisms (Didhamet et al., 1996;Tavakilian et al., 1997). Among the Brazilian states, Espírito Santo stands out with a diverse fauna of Cerambycidae (Monné, 2020a, b, c), with the majority collected in the northern region of the state, mainly in the Sooretama Biological Reserve (Travassos & Freitas, 1948;Zajciw, 1974), which is the largest protected area in the Espírito Santo and the oldest reserve in Brazil (Sarmento-Soares & Martins-Pinheiro, 2014).
Although our knowledge is still incipient in other regions of the state, there are some areas where the entomofauna has been collected for several years, with different capture methods, and specimens of longhorned beetles have been incorporated and maintained in scientific entomological collections of institutions/companies, such as: Reserva Natural Vale; Suzano S.A.; Instituto Capixaba de Pesquisa, Assistência Técnica e Extensão Rural (Incaper), and Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo. In this study, we present new species of Cerambycidae and new records of occurrence in the state of Espírito Santo.
Brazil; RNV = Reserva Natural Vale, Linhares, Espírito Santo, Brazil; SSA = Suzano S.A., Aracruz, Espírito Santo, Brazil; UFES = Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil. The collection of the RNV was created in 1986 and consists only of insects collected within approximately 22,000 hectares of preserved vegetation in the domain of the Perennial Forest (Jesus & Rolim, 2005;Martins et al., 2014;Martins et al., 2016). The Reserve, intended for conservation, scientific research, and ecological tourism, is considered one of the centers of high diversity and endemism in Brazil, and also one of the best protected conservation areas in South America (Kierulff et al., 2014).
The SSA entomological collection is a reference for the company's forestry activities in the region. It is located in the municipality of Aracruz, on the northern coast of the state, where it was started in the 1970s with insects collected near fragments of natural forest vegetation maintained as refuges in the company's eucalyptus cultivation areas. Most of the Cerambycidae in the collection were collected in the area called Microbasin I, which from 2007 onwards was incorporated into the Indigenous Reserve of the Tupiniquim and Guarani ethnic groups living in that municipality.
The collections of UFES and Incaper have specimens of longhorned beetles collected in different areas and environments of the state, including some Environmental Conservation Units of Atlantic Forest vegetation, such as: National Forest of Goytacazes and Reserva Natural Vale, both in Linhares; Sooretama Biological Reserve, in Sooretama; and Santa Lúcia Biological Station, in the municipality of Santa Teresa. All specimens from those entomological collections were identified at the Zoology Museum of São Paulo, as an activity of a larger project "Biomes of Brazil: Atlantic Forest", to advance the knowledge of "Entomofauna in the state of Espírito Santo".
Photographs were taken in the MZSP with a Canon EOS Rebel T3i DSLR camera, Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5X macro lens, controlled by Zerene Stacker AutoMontage software. The map was made through Esri ArcGIS software, version 10.5 (Environmental Systems Research Institute, 2017). Measurements were taken in "mm" using measuring ocular Hensoldt/Wetzlar -Mess 10 in the Leica MZ6 stereomicroscope, also used in the study of the specimens.
The references on known species (only species described or redescribed) are restricted to the original description and Monné's catalog (2020a, b, c). (6) Cotycicuiara chionea, male; (7) Cotycicuiara pertusa, male; (8) Zikanita perpulchra, female; (9) Adetus modestus, male; (10) Falsischnolea nigrobasalis, female; (11) Desmiphora (Desmiphora) pretiosa, male. Santos-Silva, A. et al.: Cerambycidae from Espírito Santo Pap. Avulsos Zool., 2020;v.60: e20206045 5/22 Material examined: BRAZIL, Espírito Santo (new state record): Linhares, 1 ♂, 09.XI.1990, J.S. Santos col. (RNV). Butocrysa insignis was described from "Brésil intérieur" [inland Brazil], as Amphionycha insignis. It has been reported that the species was described based on a single specimen (holotype). However, Lucas (1857) indicated: "AMPHIONYCHA INSIGNIS (2)"; "(2) Dej. Cat. des Coléopt., 3 e edit., p. 379". Accordingly, the specimens from Pierre François Marie Auguste Dejean (currently in the BMNH) are syntypes. Apparently, Dejean was involved in the identification of the specimens because Lucas himself indicated this (translated): "By doing so, I hope to signal sufficiently the entomological riches gathered by the Scientific Commission of South America, under the skillful direction of M. Le Comte de Castelnau". Currently, it is known from Brazil (Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo) (Monné, 2020b According to Fragoso (1970), Metacriodion capixaba differs from M. pictum (Waterhouse, 1880) by the elytra mostly orangish, by the sub-diamond inferior sutural macula on the elytra, and by the reddish tubercles on sides of mesocoxal cavities. All these features agree exactly with the specimen examined by us. However, the shape of the inferior sutural macula on the elytra is variable and may be sub-diamond in M. pictum too. Furthermore, the female of M. pictum examined by us has the same reddish tubercles on sides of mesocoxal cavities. However, the holotype of M. capixaba and the female examined by us do not have dense golden pubescence between the gibbosities of the pronotum, frons, vertex, and scutellum, while it is present on these areas of the holotype of M. pictum, and also in one female examined by us, and specimens examined through photographs (see Bezark, 2020 This species was described and remains known only from Brazil (Espírito Santo). The original description provided only a drawing of a male, probably the holotype. The female was never illustrated, and the only known specimen of this sex was destroyed during the fire in the MNRJ. Herein we illustrate both sexes of this species (including the male holotype). This species was described based on a single specimen from Mexico (no further details). Later, Buquet (1844) described Eriphus unipunctatus, but the type locality is unknown ("Hab. inconnue"). Chevrolat (1862) synonymized E. unipunctatus with E. mexicanus and indicated Mexico as the country where the species occurs. According to him (translated): "Collection of Mr. J. Thomson. The type of Serville no longer existed when I acquired almost all of the Cerambycidae from this author". Monné (1994a) indicated E. mexicanus as from Brazil (Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro), and Monné & Fragoso (1996) confirmed this information. However, Monné & Giesbert (1994) listed the species from Mexico and Panama. Usually, the inclusions of new records in this checklist were based on Giesbert's private collection, which is currently deposited at FSCA. It will be necessary to examine the specimens to confirm if they are E. mexicanus. If they are E. mexicanus, this indicate that E. mexicanus and E. unipunctatus are not the same species, due to the isolated geographical distribution.
The specimen examined by us agrees perfectly with the original descriptions and with the photograph of the holotype of E. unipunctatus, differing only by the absence of the black spot on base of the pronotum. dantly punctate, with fine punctures interspersed; with abundant yellowish-brown pubescence partially obscuring integument anteriorly, shorter, sparser posteriorly.

Note:  separated S. bellarmini and S. aguilari as follows (translated): "It differs from S. bellarmini by the general color black and dark brown, with the apex of the elytra with same color (in S. bellarmini the general color is brownish ocher and the elytra are darkened on apex)". We believe that these differences do not allow separating them. This because the overall color is often somewhat variable in species of Stenoeme, and we did not find other morphological differences. Unfortunately, we do not have specimens of S. bellarmini to further comparison. Santos-Silva, A. et al.: Cerambycidae from Espírito Santo Pap.

Etymology:
The new species is dedicated to José Simplício dos Santos, a retired employee of the RNV. He was responsible for insect collection, assembly and conservation of the entomological collection of the RNV, serving in a very dedicated way as curator of the collection since the 1980s.  Bezark, 2020), by the antennomeres III-XI unicolorous (bicolorous in X. arcifera), protibiae without tooth at inner apex (present in X. arcifera), and by the different elytral pubescence pattern. It differs from X. obscura Galileo & Martins, 2005 (see photographs at Bezark, 2020), by the different elytral pubescence pattern, and elytra with dorsal surface depressed on posterior half (lacking depression in X. obscura), and by the mesoventral process distinctly narrower than mesocoxal cavity (almost as wide as mesocoxal cavity in X. obscura).

Remarks
Note: The width of the mesoventral process was not mentioned in the original description of X. obscura. However, the two female paratypes currently deposited at MZSP have the width distinctly different (but not as in Xenofrea simplicioi). This associated with some other differences suggests that the type series encompasses more than one species. It will be necessary to examine the holotype and all paratypes to clarify this problem.
