Genus Pteleon Jacoby, 1888 View in CoL
Pteleon Jacoby, 1888: 603 View in CoL (type species Pteleon semicaeruleus Jacoby, 1888 , by original designation), new taxonomic placement (in Scelidites).
Remarks
This genus was formerly classified in the section Exosomites Wilcox, 1973 . However, Gillespie et al. (2008) provided evidence indicating that it is nested within Scelidites . We here formally make the taxonomic change. The genus contains three described species. They occur in the southwestern United States and in Mexico. See Fig. 137 View Figs 136–143 for a habitus illustration.
