Timbaraba dispar is a species of beetle in the tribe Bothriospilini (family Cerambycidae), and the only species in the genus Timbaraba. [1] Both the genus and its species were described in 2004 by Brazilian entomologists Marcela Laura Monné and Dilma Solange Napp. Timbaraba dispar occurs in Venezuela. It has filiform (threadlike) antennae with 11 segments, and a trapezoidal mentum. The genus name Timbaraba – an indigenous word that means "sprinkles of white" – refers to the eburneous (resembling ivory) callosities that occur on the elytra. [2]

Bothriospilini is a tribe of beetles in the subfamily Cerambycinae. The tribe was proposed in 1950 by Brazilian entomologist Frederico Lane as a member of the new subfamily Bothriospilinae, and with Bothriospila assigned as the type genus. The tribe is morphologically close to the tribe Torneutini, with which it has in common the same shape of the last abdominal segment, which is wide and largely braided in the female, as well as the anterior thigh cavities that are open from behind and the laterally open medial cavity.

Scapanopygus cinereus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae, the only species in the genus Scapanopygus. Both the genus and species were described in 1913 by French entomologist Pierre-Émile Gounelle. The type specimen was collected from Averías, a municipality in Argentina, on the banks of the Salado River.
