Genus Laius Guérin-Méneville, 1830

Laius Guérin-Méneville, 1830: 78 [Type species: Laius cyaneus Guérin-Méneville, 1830 ]. Megadeuterus Westwood, 1833: 678 [Type species: Paussus flavicornis Fabricius, 1801 ]. Rotamalachius Kôno, 1937 in Kôno & Esaki 1937: 121 [Type species: Rotamalachius esakii Kôno, 1937 ]. Nossibeus Evers, 1994: 173 [Type species: Laius politus Fairmaire, 1880 ]. syn. nov.

Remarks

The genus Nossibeus was erected for Laius politus Fairmaire, 1880 ( Evers 1994) . After observation of this species, including its endophallic structure, it was clear that this species cannot be recognised as another species of the genus Laius . In the present paper, Nossibeus Evers, 1994 is treated as a junior synonym of Laius Guérin-Méneville, 1830 (syn. nov.).
