status

 

Macrolygistopterus Pic, 1929: 1 .

Type species: Lycus succinetus Latreille, 1811 (by monotypy).

Figure 5F, N View Figure 5 .

Differential diagnosis: Macrolygistopterus differs from other New World Calochromini genera in the slender basal part and widened apical third of parameres. Lucaina has the similar slender basal part of the parameres but the apex is characteristically modified ( Fig. 5O View Figure 5 ) and this genus has, similar to Caloptognatha , long erect setae in the elytra. Lygistopterus is distantly related and differs by its wide, parallel-sided parameres ( Fig. 5K, N View Figure 5 ).

Distribution: Mexico, Central America, South America.
