El género Oogenius Solier, 1851, es revisado y ahora incluye siete especies: O. arrowi Gutiérrez (Argentina), O. castilloi Martínez y Peña (Chile), O. chilensis Ohaus (Chile), O. kuscheli Gutiérrez (Chile), O. lariosae Martínez (Argentina), O. penai Mondaca (Chile), y O. virens Solier (Chile). El género es redescrito, adultos macho y hembra de cada una de las especies son caracterizados, fotografi ados, y los caracteres morfológicos de valor diagnóstico ilustrados. Se incluye una clave de identifi cación, un mapa de distribución e información general sobre la biología de las especies. Basado en el estudio del material tipo, O. chilensis barrosi Gutiérrez, 1949, es considerado un nuevo sinónimo de O. chilensis Ohaus, 1905. Se designan lectotipos para Oogenius chilensis Ohaus, 1905 y Oogenius virens Solier, 1851.
The genus Microogenius Gutiérrez (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae: Rutelini), endemic to the Andean biogeographic region, is revised and now includes six species: Microogenius arrowi (Ohaus) (Bolivia), Microogenius borealis sp. nov. (Peru), Microogenius gutierrezi Martínez (Bolivia), Microogenius lanterii (Soula) (Argentina), Microogenius martinezi Gutiérrez (Bolivia) and Microogenius puna sp. nov. (Bolivia, Chile, Peru). Redescription of the genus, individual diagnoses, identification keys and distribution records for all known species are provided. Additionally, photographs of adults and of diagnostic morphological characters are included. Eremophygus calvus Gutiérrez, based on the female holotype, is synonymized under Microogenius arrowi (Ohaus), based on the male lectotype. The genus Microogenius is recorded for the first time for the altiplano of Chile and Peru based on specimens of a new species that has been long confused with Eremophygus lasiocalinus Ohaus.
