Diagnosis.
Each elytron bearing elongate centrobasal crest, setose or not; prosternal process narrow, about 1/3 as broad as procoxal cavity; mesoventral process not tuberculate, from 1/4 to 1/3 width of mesocoxal cavity. Legs elongate; femora pedunculate or softly dilated to the distal extremity. Number of species currently included: 29.
Remarks.
According to
Gilmour (1961)
on
Sternacutus
: “This new genus shows some affinities with the genus
Ozineus
Bates
, but differs through the pronotal shape, the acutely triangular mesosternal process, the extremely strongly swollen pedunculate femora, less depressed form etc.”
Gilmour (1962)
described
Acarinozineus
and reported: “Most closely allied to the genus
Ozineus
Bates
, but primarily differing through the elytra not being at all carinate laterally, although the border of the disc and epilpeura [
sic
, epipleura] is angular. In general form the species are rather more elongate than those of
Ozineus
Bates.
”
Monné & Martins (1976)
synonymized
Acarinozineus
with
Ozineus
, and pointed out (translated): “The recognition of the
type
species of the genus
Ozineus
,
O. elongatus
Bates, 1873
(Thomson designation, 1864: 322), allowed establishing the synonym proposed above.
Ozineus elongatus
is, apparently, the only species of the genus provided with setae in the elytra (short, sparse, and visible only in the apical quarter). The characters presented by
Gilmour (1962)
to separate
Acarinozineus
from
Ozineus
are: absence of lateral carina in elytra... and the elongate aspect of the body... Such characters are present in the
Ozineus
type
species.”
Monné
et al.
(2019a)
synonymized
Sternacutus
with
Ozineus
.
In fact, only the
type
species of
Ozineus
has erect setae on elytra. Accordingly, the other species currently included in
Ozineus
are transferred to
Sternacutus
(revalidated).
