Description
Tribe Acanthocinini
The genus Lepturges Bates, 1863 is among the largest in the tribe Acanthocinini, with 67 described species of Lepturges (Lepturges) and 20 in Lepturges (Chaeturges) Gilmour, 1959 (Monné, 2016). Lepturges differs from Chaeturges in the absence of short bristles on the distal half of the lateral sides of the elytra.
Lepturges is very similar to Urgleptes Dillon, 1956. Species of Urgleptes have punctures limited to a row along the basal transverse sulcus, extending behind the lateral pronotal tubercles. In Lepturges, the punctures along the basal sulcus do not extend behind the lateral pronotal tubercles and sometimes there are other scattered, large punctures on the pronotal disk. Lepturges also differs from Lepturgantes Gilmour, 1957 in having the antennae with 11 antennomeres; members of Lepturgantes have 12.
