Discussion. Hornburg (2012) designated and published a photograph of the lectotype of Hylaeogena speculum and figured the genitalia of a male paralectotype. The genitalia are different from those of any species of the following two genera in having dense setae along the margins of the median 1/3 of the parameres. Hylaeogena cordieri was figured by Cobos (1979). Hylaeogena speculum may be involved in a mimicry complex with coccinellids.
