Rediscovery and Redescription of the Remarkable \u3ci\u3ePhoenicus sanguinipennis \u3c/i\u3eLacordaire (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Trachyderini) from the Dominican Republic

Phoenicus sanguinipennis was described by Lacordaire in 1869 based on one male specimen of unknown origin. We rediscovered this species 135 years later in the Punta Cana region in La Altagracia Province of eastern Dominican Republic (18°30.477’N, 68°22.499’W). Twenty-seven specimens were collected at lights and on dead Maclura tinctoria (Linnaeus) D. Don ex Steudel (Moraceae). We provide a thorough description of the species and the previously unknown female, and a discussion of the previous and current knowledge of the species
