3.2.3.
Electraugochlora Engel, new status
Electraugochlora
Engel, 2000. Type species:
Augochlora (Electraugochlora) leptoloba
Engel, 2000 by original designation. Not examined.
Comments.
We made some efforts to include this species in our analysis based on the original description, but the results were very unstable, probably due to the large amount of missing data. According to the original description and a revised phylogeny of
Augochlorini
(
Goncalves
et al.
in press
),
A. leptoloba
could be a sister group with all other
Augochlora
. However, the uncertainty on several morphological attributes of this species and the lack of the acute angle of epistomal sulcus, a distinctive feature of
Augochlora
, are indicative for us to consider
Electraugochlora
as a separate genus.
