Aulacizes
Amyot & Serville 1843
Twelve species of
Aulacizes
are known, of which five are recorded from
Argentina
(
Young 1968
;
Mejdalani
et al
. 2006
;
Paradell
et al
. 2012
).
According to
Young (1968)
, the male genitalia and the female abdominal sternite VII do not appear to offer conclusive specific characters in this genus; while the external characters are variable to some degree. Azevedo
Filho & Carvalho (2006)
provide a detailed description of
A. conspersa
Walker
,
A. obsoleta
Melichar
and
A. quadripunctata
(Germar)
, including characters of the female terminalia.
