Description
Genus Luperosoma Jacoby, 1891
Luperosoma Jacoby, 1891: 87 (type species Luperosoma marginata Jacoby, 1891, by original designation).
Deuterobrotica Bechyné, 1958: 596 (type species Diabrotica amplicornis Baly, 1886, by original designation).
Remarks
This genus includes 13 described species, occurring from the southern United States through much of South America. See Fig. 111 for a habitus illustration. See Blake (1958) for a key that includes some, but not all, of the species. Females are hardly distinguishable from females of some species of Trichobrotica Bechyné, 1956.
