Remarks.

Linsenmaier (1994, 1997a) and Madl and Rosa (2012) moved the species group lusca (including lusca and imperiosa) from the genus Praestochrysis Linsenmaier to genus Trichrysis Lichtenstein. Kimsey and Bohart (1991) treated Praestochrysis imperiosa (Smith, 1874) as a junior synonym of Praestochrysis lusca (Fabricius, 1804). But Praestochrysis imperiosa is distinctly different from Praestochrysis lusca (Fabricius) ( Strumia 1996).
