Popis: Yingaresca transversicollis (Jacoby, 1886), comb. nov. Galerucella (?) transversicollis Jacoby, 1886: 490 (sic!), Tab. 28, fig. 1. Neolochmaea (Neolochmaea) transversicollis; Wilcox, 1971: 115 (cat.). Neolochmaea transversicollis; Wilcox, 1974: 78 (cat.). Galerucella transversicollis; Moura 1998 c: 185, figs. 30���32. Remarks. Jacoby (1886) described and included, although in dubiously, this species in Galerucella. Wilcox (1971, 1974) integrated Galerucella (?) transversicollis in the list of species of Neolochmaea. When revising Neolochmaea, Moura (1998 c) examined the type-material deposited at the BMNH and, since the species does not share the diagnostic characters of the genus, decided to return it to Galerucella. When I more thoroughly analyzed the position of the species in Galerucella as proposed by Moura (1998 c), I verified that it bears (1) small eyes, shorter than the length of the gena, (2) thin antennae, without enlarged antennomeres, and (3) carinae on the elytra; such characteristics are similar to those found in some species of Yingaresca [Y. amazonica (Weise) and Y. batesi (Bowditch)], both comprised in the batesi group according to Wilcox (1971). I therefore transfer G. tranversicollis to this genus. Strengthening the inclusion of the species in Yingaresca, Galerucella is a genus that still does not have a member with Neotropical distribution.
