Aporrhipis Bourgeois, 1887

Aporrhipis Pascoe 1887: 18 ; Csiki 1913: 25; Crowson 1972: 48; Bocak and Bocakova 1990: 628; Miller 1991: 311; Kaupp et al. 2001: 174; Falin 2003: 228; Batelka and Hajek 2009: 777. Ferreira et al. 2018: 372.

Type species. Aporrhipis flexilis Pascoe, 1887:18 , by monotypy.

Updated diagnosis. Aporrhipis can be separated from other Calopterini by the combination of pronotum bearing a weakly developed longitudinal carina or cell or absent cell, flabellate antennae, concave and transverse frons, elytra with four costae, sometimes indistinct and weakly reticulated, non-reduced mouthparts and male genitalia with the presence of folds in the basal inner margin of median lobe (see detailed redescription in Ferreira et al. 2018).

Key to the species of Aporrhipis

1. Body unicoloured, dark brown; exposed portion of median lobe elongate, twice as long as parameres ( Figures 5, 6 in Ferreira et al. 2018)....... Aporrhipis flexilis Pascoe, 1887

1 ʹ. Body bicoloured; exposed portion of median lobe subequal in length with parameres... 2

2. Pronotum with a longitudinal carina easily visible, cell absent ( Figure 19); folds in the basal inner margin of median lobe strongly developed, half the length of exposed portion of median lobe ( Figure 23)................. Aporrhipis obrieni Ferreira new species

2. ’ Pronotum with a weakly visible cell in posterior portion ( Figure 22); folds in the basal inner margin of median lobe, only present in basal third of exposed portion of median lobe ( Figure 24)......................................................... Aporrhipis milleri Ferreira new species
