(by present designation).	en	Bocakova, Milada (2014): Lolodorfus, a new genus of net-winged beetles (Coleoptera: Lycidae: Dexorinae) from Cameroon. Zootaxa 3811 (3): 374-380, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3811.3.8
038987BE3C61A549FF73F922FE43FC83.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Lolodorfus gen. nov. differs from Mimolibnetis Pic, 1936 in having 11 - segmented antennae while those of Mimolibnetis are 10 - segmented. Among other Dexorinae genera, Lolodorfus gen. nov., Mimolibnetis and Lampyrolycus can be easily recognized by elytra presenting 4 longitudinal costae and intercostal intervals with irregular reticulate cells. These genera differ in the length of elytral costa 1, which is fully developed in Lampyrolycus, while medially shortened in Lolodorfus gen. nov. and Mimolibnetis. Dexoris and Elgodexoris have a completely different arrangement of the elytra presenting irregular setiferous tubercles, while reticulate cells and elytral costae are absent.	en	Bocakova, Milada (2014): Lolodorfus, a new genus of net-winged beetles (Coleoptera: Lycidae: Dexorinae) from Cameroon.

Both the genera share several common characters (shape of pronotum, elytra with primary costa 1 shortened, double rows of reticulate cells irregular). Lolodorfus gen. nov. and Mimolibnetis differ namely in the number of antennomeres (11 in Lolodorfus, 10 in Mimolibnetis). On the basis of a morphological phylogenetic analysis Kazantsev (2013) proposed a new subfamily Mimolibnetinae for “ the most basal ” lycid genus Mimolibnetis Pic, 1936. Neotenic characters were here considered to be synapomorphies of lycid neotenic lineages. However, no consideration was given to frequent appearance of homoplasies when reduced characters evolve (e. g. reduced mouthparts of lycid neotenic taxa, reduction of elytral costae etc.). Similarly, the selection of a single outgroup, Thilmanus (Omalisidae), was questionable, while multiple outgroups have been favored to overcome outgroup sensitivity problem. This morphological tree of Lycidae (Kazantsev 2013) supported monophyly of neotenic lycids from Oriental, Afrotropical and Neotropical regions, which strongly contradicts the results of molecular phylogenetic analyses (Bocak et al. 2008, Malohlava et al. 2010) and extremely low vagility of neotenic taxa with flightless females. As Lolodorfus gen. nov. and Mimolibnetis share several characters with Dexoris Waterhouse, 1878 and Elgodexoris Bocak et Bocakova, 1988 (Dexorinae), particularly reduced mouthparts, trochanters obliquely attached to femora, and the shape of pronotum with longitudinal folds in basal half broadly divergent anteriorly, monophyly of Afrotropical neotenic lycids is here assumed, and Dexoris, is considered to be closely related to Lolodorfus gen. nov. + Mimolibnetis clade. Consequently, Mimolibnetis Pic, 1936 is transferred to the Dexorinae Bocak et Bocakova, 1989, and the subfamily Mimolibnetinae Kazantsev, 2013 is proposed to be a younger synonym of Dexorinae Bocak et Bocakova, 1989. Further research will require thorough field work in Afrotropical Region. Then, analyses of DNA sequences could shed more light on phylogenetic relationships of Lolodorfus gen. nov. and the subfamily Dexorinae.	en	Bocakova, Milada (2014): Lolodorfus, a new genus of net-winged beetles (Coleoptera: Lycidae: Dexorinae) from Cameroon.
