COELIOXYS View in CoL ( COELIOXYS S. S.) LATREILLE, 1809
Type species: Coelioxys quadridentata (Linnaeus, 1758) .
Diagnosis: Coelioxys ( Coelioxys s.s.) spp. is diagnosable through one unique characteristic found in no other species in the genus: the shape of the pronotal lobe, which is conspicuously rounded on its outer margin and weakly carinate on its inner margin ( Fig. 30 View Figures 30 and 31 ).
Comments: Mitchell (1973) established this subgenus based only on North American and European species. Michener (2007), on the other hand, considered it as cosmopolitan. Thirteen species previously assigned to C. ( Coelioxys s.s.), such as Coelioxys serricaudata Baker, 1975 and the Australasian species ( Michener, 1965; Baker, 1975), do not belong to the clade that contains the type species of the subgenus (see also Rocha-Filho, 2016 for the Australian species), C. quadridentata . As understood here, C. ( Coelioxys s.s.) comprises only its type species and the Nearctic species Coelioxys sodalis Cresson, 1878 .
List of species: Coelioxys quadridentata and C. sodalis .
