Description

Zodion Latreille, 1797

There are only two known species of Zodion occuring in the Afrotropical Region. Zodion cinereum can be identified using the diagnosis given in Mei & Stuke (2008), whilst Zodion perbellum is well characterised by the original description of Speiser (1909) and can easily be identified by comparison with Fig. 138.
