The genus Oedionychus Berthold occurs only in the Eastern Hemisphere, so New World species currently placed it it will need to be moved to Alagoasa Bechyné or similar genera; S. M.

Distribution. Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Jamaica, St. Thomas?, St. Vincent. Mexico to Panama, Colombia to Trinidad, Brazil and Bolivia; widespread Antilles and Latin America . Notes.

Notes. Platiprosopus Chevrolat 1834: 87 appears to be an older name for this genus (A. Konstantinov, pers. comm., 23 Dec., 2011), and there are two unidentified species under this genus name for Guadeloupe (Konstantinov and Konstantinova 2011: 65).
