Tribe
Acanthocinini
The genus
Lepturges
Bates, 1863
is among the largest in the tribe
Acanthocinini
, with 67 described species of
Lepturges
(
Lepturges
)
and
20 in
Lepturges
(
Chaeturges
)
Gilmour, 1959
(
Monné, 2016
)
.
Lepturges
differs from
Chaeturges
in the absence of short bristles on the distal half of the lateral sides of the elytra.
Lepturges
is very similar to
Urgleptes
Dillon, 1956
. Species of
Urgleptes
have punctures limited to a row along the basal transverse sulcus, extending behind the lateral pronotal tubercles. In
Lepturges
, the punctures along the basal sulcus do not extend behind the lateral pronotal tubercles and sometimes there are other scattered, large punctures on the pronotal disk.
Lepturges
also differs from
Lepturgantes
Gilmour,
1957
in having the antennae with 11 antennomeres; members of
Lepturgantes
have 12.
