The Leiodes genus-group

This group is characterized by having the mesosternum oblique between the mesocoxae. In North America it is known to contain only the genera Leiodes Latreille and Ecarinosphaerula Hatch. Baranowski (1993) revised the North American species of Leiodes . We here contribute new data on the genus Ecarinosphaerula Hatch.
