description: Nyssodrysternum analogum sp. nov.   
 (Fig. 2)   
 Etymology: Greek, analogos similar, like. By the similarity with N. gilvolineatum.   
 Male: Integument predominantly dark brown, femora pale yellow. Pubescence predominantly brownish. Pubescence yellow as follows: a patch surrounding the superior lobes of the eyes, genae, two longitudinal stripes each side of the middle of the pronotum; in each elytron four longituinal stripes in the basal half the nearest to the suture attaining the base, and three longitudinal stripes in the distal half, the external one reaching the apex. Three longitudinal grayish stripes in the pronotum one in the middle and the others between the yellow stripes. Ventral part of the body and femora covered with grayish pubescence, tibiae and tarsi with pubescence dark brown.   
Antennae very long, at least three times the length of the body, reaching the apecies of the elytra in the distal extremity of antennomere V; antennomere XI one third longer than X. Lateral tubercles of the prothorax minute, slightly projected. Pronotum with a single line of punctures near the posterior margin. Elytra with the apices obliquely truncate, the external angle projected in obtuse tooth. Punctures disposed in four longitudinal lines in the basal two thirds of the elytral surface. Metatarsomere I slightly longer than II+III. Fifth urotergite semicircularly emarginate; fifth urosternite rounded and densely pilose in the distal extremity.  
 Female: Antennae attaining the apices of the elytra in the distal extremity of antennomere V; ovipositor projected 2.0 mm beyond the elitral apices; fifth urotergite acute in the apex; fifth urosternite transversely truncate.   
 Measurements (mm), male/female: Total length, 6,2/7,0; prothorax length, 1,2/1,3; prothorax width, 1,7/2,0; elytral length, 4,4/4,9; humeral width, 2,1/2,4.   
 Type material: Holotype male, FRENCH GUIANA, Piste de Kaw, pk 9, 18.III.1998, F. Luquet col. [piégeage lumineux, number 969 ex collection IRD] (MNHN). Paratypes, same locality, male, 02.VIII.1986, F & J.-M. Serais col (MNRJ), female, 29.VIII.1986, J.-M. Vassal col (MNHN), male, 05.IX.1986, J.-M. Vassal col. (MNHN), male, 05.IX.1986, G. Tavakilian col. (MNHN), female, 26.IX.1986, J.-M. Vassal col. (MNHN), Petit Saut, male, 30.III.1989, P. Souka col. (MNHN).   
 Host plant: Protium aracouchini (Aublet) Marchand (Burseraceeae). Daniel Sabatier det. 2368.   
 Comments: Very similar to N. gilvolineatum sp. nov., differs mainly by details of the yellow pubescence. In N. analogum sp. nov. the basal internal stripe of the elytra is entire and not comma-like each side of the scutellum as in N. gilvolinbeatum sp. nov., also the longitudinal stripes in the distal half of the elytra are disposed in other arrangement. Concerning the color of the integument, in N. gilvolineatum sp. nov. the femora are of similar color of the tibiae, in N. analogum sp. nov. the femora are pale-yellow and the tibiae dark brown.
