Griburius Haldeman, 1849 View in CoL Fig. 24

Griburius Haldeman, 1849: 245.

= Scolochrus Suffrian, 1852.

Type species.

Griburius scutellaris Haldeman 1849: 245 (= Cryptocephalus scutellaris Fabricius, 1801), by monotypy.

Diagnosis.

Recently, Chamorro (2013) provided the following characters to identify the species of this genus: posterior margin of intercoxal prosternal process rounded; lateral margin of elytra deeply excised exposing abdomen caudally, elytra length approximately 2 × or less length of pronotum. However, the limits of Griburius and Metallactus are confused and require revision.

Distribution.

Nearctic and Neotropical.
