Cylindrodachrys Monros, 1944 Fig. 6

Monrós (1944: 148, 1953b: 148).

Type species.

Cylindrodachrys cleroides Monrós (1944: 148).

Diagnosis.

This genus exhibits a particular combination of three characters unique among Clytrini : adult body shape strongly cylindrically elongate; elytra not fully covering pygidium; and inconspicuous elytral punctations, thus superficially resembling a clerid.

Distribution.

This monotypic genus is limited to Paraguay and north and central Argentina.

Remarks.

According to Monrós (1944) this species has always been collected in extremely xeric places.
