Remarks. Saperda barbicornis was described, apparently, based on a single specimen with unknown type locality. Olivier (1800) described Saperda plumigera based, apparently, on a single specimen (holotype, according to Monné (2024a)) and Tavakilian & Chevillotte (2023)) from Madagascar. Later, Guérin-Méneville (1844) described Cosmisoma equestre based on syntypes from Argentina and Uruguay. Gounelle (1910) synonymized Saperda plumigera and Cosmisoma equestre with S. barbicornis. However, Schönherr (1817: 456) already formalized the synonym between S. plumigera and S. barbicornis. In Monné (2024a) and Tavakilian & Chevillotte (2023), Saperda barbicornis is considered to have been described in 1793. However, according to Bousquet (2016) on the date of the work in which Fabricius described Saperda barbicornis: “As discussed by Löbl and Smetana (2011: 21), Hellwig (1792: 408) cited the correct page and number for the genus Lyctus in the second part of Fabricius’ book, clearly suggesting that he had Fabricius’ book in front of him. The cover of the issue for Hellwig’s paper in the journal Neuestes Magazin für die Liebhaber der Entomologie bears the date “ Dezember 1792.” In addition, the cover of the journal (available on GB) has a text dated “Stralsund im December 1792 ” which mentioned that the second part of Fabricius’ Entomologia systematica is published. Therefore, it is assumed that Fabricius’ second part of the first volume of his Entomologia systematica was published in or before December 1792.”
Currently, it is known from Brazil (Bahia, Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul), Paraguay, Argentina (Jujuy, Salta, Tucumán, Misiones, Chaco, Santa Fé, Corrientes, Entre Ríos, and Buenos Aires), and Uruguay (Monné 2024a; Tavakilian & Chevillotte 2023).
