Lasiochilus ( Semiotoscelis) Reuter, 1884

Lasiochilus ( Semiotoscelis) Reuter, 1884: 24 . Type-species by monotypy: Lasiochilus curvicrus Reuter, 1884 .

DIAGNOSTIC CHARACTERS: Extracted from the original description (characters I consider the most useful): “Head with frons rather narrow, with two impressed and arched lines... big eyes... Labium slightly surpassing the middle of mesosternum. Segment I slightly surpassing the middle of the eyes... forefemorae with short spines ( ♂) and foretibiae curved medially... hindtibiae strongly spinulose...”

DISCUSSION: The subgenus L. ( Semiotoscelis ) based on these characters is here retained as subgenus of Lasiochilus . L. duckei n. sp. is also included in this subgenus. Two characters found in this new species but not mentioned in original description could be added to diagnostic subgeneric characters: parietovaginal glandgreatly reduced, and lateral margins of pronotum carinate.
