Catoptes
sec. Kuschel
Kuschel (1969)
, upon studying the type specimen of
Catoptes obliquesignatus
Boheman
, ascertained that the name
Catoptes
had been misapplied by Broun, Sharp and Marshall. That is, the species described in
Catoptes
by these authors were not congeneric with
C. obliquesignatus
.
Catoptes
sec. Kuschel includes
Catoptes
sec. Schönherr and
Exonastus
,
Asaphia
,
Tigones
,
Platyomida
,
Getopsephus
and
Empaeotes
(all sec. Broun) (
Figure 97
). This concept of
Catoptes
is accepted by the present author, and no modifications are made here.
