Frontodendroidopsis Young, 2004

Young, Daniel K., 2017, A new species of Frontodendroidopsis (Coleoptera: Pyrochroidae: Pyrochroinae) from China, with a key to males of the three species, Zootaxa 4319 (3), pp. 590-594 : 591

Characterization of Frontodendroidopsis Young

Young (2006) provided a generic diagnosis that holds largely for F. pennyi as well. The structure of the interocular cranial apparatus ( Fig. 2 ), as well as the shape and emargination of the last abdominal ventrite and genitalic structure ( Fig. 4 ) are consistent with salient features of adult males of Frontodendroidopsis .
