Alceis Billberg, 1820 View in CoL

Alceis View in CoL was incorrectly considered a nomen nudum until Buchanan (1939: 4) resurrected it for the type species, Curculio longimanus Fabricius, 1775 View in CoL (not available, a junior primary homonym of Curculio longimanus Forster, 1771 View in CoL ), currently a synonym of Siderodactylus ornatus Pascoe, 1879 View in CoL . In O’Brien & Wibmer (1982: 33) Alceis View in CoL was considered as a senior synonym of Naupactus Dejean, 1821 View in CoL , but in Wibmer & O’Brien (1986) both genera were treated as separate and valid. We agree with this decision because Alceis View in CoL shows several characters that allows differentiation from Naupactus View in CoL , among them the presence of a flagellum in pennis of the males.
