Abstract
Summary. The first checklist of Cerambycidae for the Department of Cusco (Peru) is provided, including the description and illustration of a new genus and nine new species: Ankistron ocongate n. gen., n. sp., Anisopodus forsythi n. sp., Sternacutus santiagoi n. sp. and Hyperplatys gorkyi n. sp. (Acanthocinini); Megacyllene skoura n. sp. (Clytini); Colobothea monnei n. sp. (Colobotheini); Estola carmonae n. sp. and Malthonea choquequirao n. sp. (Desmiphorini); and Eranina noei n. sp. (Hemilophini). Additionally, 21 new country records for Peru are reported, along with 78 new departmental records for Amazonas, Apurímac, Cusco, Huánuco and Madre de Dios. Due to the chromatic variations that occur in Cobelura peruviana (Aurivillius, 1920), we have opted to redescribe the species based on a specimen exhibiting uniformly dark femora, which contrasts with the recently illustrated syntype. This may help prevent future misidentifications of the species.
