Genus Ophraea Jacoby, 1886 View in CoL
Ophraea Jacoby, 1886: 492 View in CoL
(type species Ophraea rugosa Jacoby, 1886 , by subsequent designation of Wilcox 1965).
Remarks
This genus currently contains twelve species, distributed from Arizona to Costa Rica. See Figs 40 View Figs 37–45 , 154 View Figs 153–157. 153 , and 188 for a habitus illustration and morphological details. See Bechyné (1950) for a key that includes some, but certainly not all, of the species currently placed in the genus. However, be aware that Ophraea , as currently constituted, is heterogeneous. Some species should probably be transferred to other genera, such as Metrogaleruca . The following key to genera reflects the characteristics of the type species, but not necessarily those of all the species currently included in the Ophraea .
