Diarthrotarsus Bergroth, 1905 View in CoL

Lycimna Stål, 1872 was described by Stål (1872) to include L. annulosa Stål, 1872 from Colombia. Because this genus name was preoccupied by Lycimna Walker, 1860 (Lepidoptera) , Bergroth (1905) proposed Diarthrotarsus View in CoL as a new name for it. Wygodzinsky (1948) described three new species of the genus, two from Brazil ( D. malaisei Wygodzinsky, 1948 View in CoL and D. travassosi Wygodzinsky, 1948 View in CoL ) and one from Bolivia ( D. stali Wygodzinsky, 1948 View in CoL ). Maldonado (1955) described D. marahuacensis Maldonado, 1955 View in CoL from Venezuela, totaling a current number of five species included in Diarthrotarsus ( Maldonado 1990) View in CoL . Diarthrotarsus annulosus View in CoL probably, and all other species of the genus certainly were described based on only one (type) specimen each ( Stål 1872, Wygodzinsky 1948, Maldonado 1955). Additionally, with the exception of D. annulosus View in CoL , described based on at least partly male(s), all other species were described based on females. Stål (1872) and Wygodzinsky (1948) provided detailed descriptions of the genus, while the latter author redescribed D. annulosus View in CoL based on its type specimen deposited in NHRS.

Diarthrotarsus View in CoL can be separated from other New World genera of Harpactorini View in CoL by their two-segmented tarsi and the closed posterior portion of fore acetabula ( Stål 1872). Their species are quite similar, with a small set of differences to separate each of them ( Wygodzinsky 1948, Maldonado 1955).
