PHALEPSOIDES (Rafifray, 1890) 



Reitter (1888) (Euphalepsus) 

 Raffray (1890, 1904, 1908, 1909) 



This is small genus of four species known to inhabit Brazil. Three of the 

 species were described as Euphalepsus, and Raffray two years later emended 

 this genus, erecting the present genus to hold those neotropical batrisines 

 having (1) no humeral callus and (2) the metastemum as strongly, medianly, 

 longitudinally carinated. It should be noted that Group V of Euphalepsus 

 forms a transition to Phalepsoides with respect to the humeral callus. 



The species may be listed as follows: 



punctatissimus (Reitter). 1888. Blumenau, Brazil. (Genotype) 



{Euphalepsus) 

 laevissimu^ (Reitter). 1888. Blumenau, Brazil. (Euphalepsus) 

 longiceps (Reitter). 1888. Blumenau, Brazil. (Euphalepsus) 

 vagepunctatus Raffray. 1909. Sao Paulo, Brazil,
