Micranops spp. : Geographical Distribution of Ratio: Neck Width/Head Width

Boldface abbreviations of the histogram represent countries of the Old World; Roman abbreviations are for New World countries. Each country abbreviation in the histogram represents one individual. The numbers across the bottom of the histogram, 0.18 to 0.40, are the ratios of the neck width divided by the postocular head width. The two lines below the row of ratios represent the mean, the upward pointing arrow, and plus and minus one standard deviation for Old World and New World respectively Old World samples: Au, Australia; BF, Burkina Faso; SL, Sri Lanka; EG, Egypt; ER, Eritrea; IC, Ivory Coast; IN, India; ML, Malaysia; MY, Myanmar; NG, New Guinea; PP, Philippines; TH, Thailand; TK, Turkey; TW, Taiwan; VL, Lake Victoria; VN, Vietnam; ZM, Zambia.

beetles will be discovered throughout the tropical and subtropical world and that Micranops will be one of the speciose genera of the Scopaeina .

The principal species-diagnostic features for the males of Micranops are the length, width, and form of the ventral process of the aedeagus and surfaces and posterior margins of sternites VII and VIII. Identification of the females is more difficult.
