The genus Sicoderus Vanin 1986 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Curculioninae: Erodiscini) in the West Indies Author Anderson, Robert S. text Zootaxa 2018 2018-10-10 4497 3 301 345 journal article 29174 10.11646/zootaxa.4497.3.1 55770274-cac7-4dde-871a-6c4cf42522c5 1175-5326 1454868 FED8ED2E-510F-4596-A31B-59E6DF73919C Sicoderus Vanin, 1986 Sicoderus Vanin, 1986 : 520 . Type species Lixus antilope Fabricius 1801 by original designation. Gender masculine. Sicoderus was described by Vanin (1986) to accommodate one of three groups of species formerly placed in Erodiscus sensu Schoenherr 1826 , the others being Pimelerodius and Prosicoderus . Recognition of the genera was based mainly on the structure of the mouthparts, abdominal ventrites and male genitalia ( Vanin 1986 ). A total of 57 species placed in 16 species groups were recognized by Vanin (1986) . West Indian species belong to the S. tinamus and S. delauneyi groups. Vanin (1986) presents a key to the species groups and to species within each group.
