Genus Microbrotica Jacoby, 1887

Microbrotica Jacoby, 1887: 569 (type species Microbrotica subglabrata Jacoby, 1887 , by monotypy).

Remarks

Smith & Lawrence (1967) “tentatively” assigned this genus to the tribe Metacyclini . However, we find very little similarity with other metacylines. We here transfer the genus to the section Diabroticites ( Luperini : Diabroticina ), new taxonomic placement. This genus contains a single described species, M. subglabrata , which occurs in Panama ( Fig. 72 View Figs 64–72 ).
