Description
Onocephala Sturm, 1843
Onocephala Sturm, 1843: 262.
Onocephala (Medioclarovitta) Özdikmen, 2025k: 3261. Syn. nov.
Remarks. Özdikmen (2025k) divided Onocephala into two subgenera and reported: “In first group [Onocephala (Onocephala) Sturm, 1843: 262], head above (vertex) and pronotum never with broadly longitudinal bands (vittae) of hairs medially; elytra always with a large, more or less rounded or irregularly margined, pale pubescent macula on each elytron placed a little towards the sides just before the middle; elytra never with a narrower sutural band of hairs, and long or short, more or less longitudinal bands of hairs at least laterally;” and “In second group, head above (vertex) and pronotum always with broadly longitudinal bands (vittae) of hairs medially; elytra never with a large, more or less rounded or irregularly margined, pale pubescent macula on each elytron placed a little towards the sides just before the middle; elytra always with a narrower sutural band of hairs, and long or short, more or less longitudinal bands of hairs at least laterally.”
Once again, Özdikmen (2025k) based his justification for the new subgenus solely on the pubescent pattern, a specific rather than a generic feature. Therefore, we are synonymizing Onocephala (Medioclarovitta) with Onocephala.
