Key to
Oriental
genera of the tribe
Elampini
We provide an updated key to the
Oriental
genera of the tribe
Elampini
after the genus
Chrysellampus
Semenov, 1932
was reinstated (
Rosa
et al
. 2015c
),
Holophris
Mocsáry
here redescribed and
Leptopareia
gen. nov.
here established. The genus
Philoctetes
Abeille de Perrin
is not yet recorded in the
Oriental
region, but included in the key because some species could be distributed at least in the
Oriental
part of
China
.
