Abstract :
[en] A revised key to the genera of the Rhopalum complex.
Echucoides LECLERCQ and Podagritoides LECLERCQ, previously subgenera, are raised to the generic rank.
Corynopus LEPELETIER et BRULLÉ, previously a section within Rhopalum s. str., is raised to the rank of a subgenus.
Parechuca n. subg. (with Podragritus neuqueni LECLERCQ, 1957, as type) is added to the subgenera of Podagritus for the reception of most of the south american species previously recorded as Echuca PATE and for four species of Rhopalum from New-Zealand.
Podagritus (Echuca) droserus LECLECRQ becomes a Rhopalum (Calceorhopalum).
A partial key to the Rhopalum of continental Latin America. The following species are described as new : (subg.?) fenimorum (Mexico), (Calceorhopalum) calderoni (Bolivia, Ecuador), (Corynopus) rumipambae (Ecuador, Bolivia), (Calceorhopalum) exultatum (Ecuador, Peru), (Rhopalum) pucarense (Argentina), rolotum (Mexico), potosium (Bolivia), plaumanni (Brasil) and prisonium (Paraguay).
