Type species, Lepturges elegantulus Bates, 1863
The genus Lepturges Bates, 1863 is distributed in the Western Hemisphere from Canada to Argentina, currently divided in two subgenera: Lepturges (sensu stricto) Bates, 1863 and Lepturges (Chaeturges) Gilmour, 1959 . The differences between these two subgenera are the presence in the last one of bristles in the lateral sides of the elytra. There are 74 species described in Lepturges (sensu stricto) and 20 in Lepturges (Chaeturges) . After Bates (1863, 1872, 1881, 1885) and Melzer (1928, 1930, 1934), Gilmour described several species (1959a, 1959b, 1961, 1962), later Monné (1976, 1978) and Monné & Tavakilian (1989) add other species.
