Estos rasgos no permiten su asignación a ninguna de las especies conocidas del género por lo que se describe como una especie nueva: Epicauta falcolarandina sp. nov., que se incluye en el grupo de especies de Epicauta vittata. E. falcolarandina se diferencia de las demás especies venezolanas del grupo de E. vittata (Epicauta aragua y Epicauta apure) por presentar la lámina inferior de las uñas de los tarsos curvada y casi de la misma anchura y longitud que la lámina superior. El patrón característico de coloración de E. falcolarandina, que recuerda al de Epicauta leopardina, la diferencia de las restantes especies del grupo de E. vittata. Una característica peculiar de esta especie, que comparte con Epicauta abadona, es que el color de la pilosidad no coincide con el de la coloración tegumentaria; así, en la mayor parte de los élitros, incluidas casi todas las zonas oscuras, la pilosidad es amarillo-blanquecina.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract: The study of specimens of Epicauta held at the collection of the Museo del Instituto de Zoología Aplicada (MIZA, Venezuela) allowed us to discover specimens with singular morphological traits from the states of Lara and Falcón. The characters shown by these specimens do not permit to assign them to any of the known species of the genus, and thus we consider that they represent a new species: Epicauta falcolarandina sp. nov. The new species is included in the Epicauta vittata species group. E. falcolarandina differs at first glance from all other Venezuelan species of the E. vittata species group (Epicauta aragua and Epicauta apure) because it presents the ventral blade of the tarsal claws curved and of similar width and length than the dorsal one. The characteristic coloration pattern of E. falcolarandina, which vaguely resembles the pattern displayed by Epicauta leopardina, differs from all other species of the E. vittata species group. A particular trait of E. falcolarandina, shared with Epicauta abadona, is that the coloration of the pilosity does not match the color of the tegument. Most of the surface of the elytra of E. falcolarandina, including almost all dark zones, is covered by a whitish-yellow pilosity.]]></p></abstract>
