The Lycini is a species-rich beetle tribe belonging to the subfamily Lycinae[1]
Description
The Lycini is defined by the presence of the rostrum, flat, serrate to parallel-sided antennomeres 3–10, absent pronotal carinae, weak longitudinal and absent or irregular transverse costae in the elytra, tubular mesothoracic spiracles, the spoon-shaped phallobase, short parameres, a long and slender phallus, large lateral glands in the female sexual duct, short valvifers and the short spermaduct.[1]
Distribution
Afrotropical, Palaearctic, Oriental, Australian (Sulawesi and Timor only), Nearctic and Neotropical (northern part only) regions.[2][3]
Genera
A 2021 study delimited the following genera based on mito-ribosomal data.[1]
