Popis: Yingaresca magdalia (Bechyn��, 1997), comb. nov. Ophraella magdalia Bechyn��, 1997: 293 Examined types. VENEZUELA, Aragua: Carmen de Cura (350 m), paratype ♀, 11.VII. 1966, F. Fernandez & C. J. Rosales col. (MCNZ 238.235); Lara: Duaca, paratype ♀, 19.II. 1965, J. & B. Bechyn�� col. (MCNZ 238.236). Remarks. Both Yingaresca limoensis (Bechyn��, 1997) comb. nov. and Y. magdalia (Bechyn��, 1997) comb. nov. do not share the characteristics originally presented by Wilcox (1965) that define Ophraella, nor in the subsequent revision by LeSage (1986), such as an oval and convex body���generally densely covered by erect hairs���and the presence of longitudinal bands on the elytra of most species. Furthermore, Ophraella has a Nearctic distribution, while Yingaresca occur essentially in the Neotropical region. In relation to host plants, the species of Ophraella are exclusively recorded on Asteraceae (LeSage, 1986). Bechyn�� (1997) mentioned O. limoensis and O. magdalia (here transferred to Yingaresca) on Cordia alba (Jacq.) Roem. & Schult. (Boraginaceae); the use of plants from this family as a food resource has already been verified for other species of Yingaresca: Y. ornata (Jacoby, 1889) on an undetermined species of Boraginaceae (Bechyn�� 1997), and Y. holosericea (Bowditch, 1923) and Y. difficilis (Bowditch, 1923) on Cordia monosperma (Jacq.) Roem. & Schult. (Duckett & Moura 2002).
