Type species
Scaphidium pusillum Gyllenhal, 1808 .
Remarks
Ptenidium is a well-defined genus of distinctive beetles distributed throughout the world, although most species have been described from the northern hemisphere, with the concentration being in the Palaearctic region. The establishment of a group of Neotropical species with distinctive pronotal and spermathecal characteristics was made by Darby (2016c), who placed them in a separate subgenus, Peruvium . It is to this subgenus that the three new species described below belong.
