Subgenera of Dacne Latreille, 1797 (Erotylidae: Erotylinae: Dacnini) given full generic rank

  • Previously described subgenera of Dacne Latreille, 1797 (Coleoptera: Erotylidae) show character states and combinations implying closer relationships with genera other than with Dacne, suggesting “Dacne” is not monophyletic. These characters are briefly discussed along with the genera sharing the characters. To improve the current classification, the subgenera of Dacne are raised to generic status as: Afrodacne Delkeskamp, 1954, Ameridacne Skelley, 2009, and Xenodacne Boyle, 1956. A checklist of all species included in these genera is presented, updating generic combinations as needed. ZooBank registration. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:C5C4BC4D-3403-46D3-BE64-E06F687D1562
