Tribe Acanthocerini

O’Shea (1980) reviewed the genera of Acanthocerini , including all Colombian genera except Moronopelios Brailovsky that was later described. In order to identify this genus the second option of the couplet 4 must be modified to lead to the following:

5 Humeral angles pointed backwards; frontal angles of pronotum projected into a blunt tooth; tibiae unicolored... Machtima - Humeral angles pointed laterally and a little forward; front angles of pronotum not projected into a blunt tooth; tibiae bicolored,

black with a yellowish apical band............................................................ Moronopelios

There are 16 species of Acanthocerini in Colombia, of which 8 are here reported for the first time. On the literature are available keys to the determination of species of Crinocerus Burmeister ( Brailovsky & Barrera 2019b) , Golema Amyot & Serville ( Brailovsky & Barrera 2000) , Moronopelios Brailovsky ( Brailovsky & Barrera 2016) , Thlastocoris Mayr ( Brailovsky 1990b) and Zoreva Amyot & Serville ( Brailovsky & Barrera 1982) , whereas Camptischium Amyot & Serville has never been revised, and Schaeferocoris O’Shea continue as a monotypic genus.
