Abstract

The South American genus LycoplaterosPic, 1922 is revised. This genus is a member of the Eurrhacini clade, placed as a sister-group of Neolinoptes Nascimento & Bocakova, 2017. Lycoplateros can be differentiated from other Eurrhacini based on its characteristic pronotum and complex male genitalia, characterized by phallus presenting internal sac with a set of complex sclerites and slightly distorted ladle/hood-like phallobase. The two known species, L. mimicusPic, 1922 and L. diversipesPic, 1931 are redescribed, and eleven new species are proposed: L. delclaroisp. nov.; L. brasiliensissp. nov.; L. septentrionalissp. nov.; L. alvarengaisp. nov.; L. kaaporasp. nov.; L. eliasisp. nov.; L. mullerisp. nov.; L. constantinisp. nov.; L. nungarasp. nov.; L. bartolozziisp. nov., and L. flavescenssp. nov. All species are illustrated and an identification key is provided.
