Genus Acalymma Barber, 1947

Acalymma Barber, 1947a: 154 (type species Acalymma gouldi Barber, 1947 , by original designation).

Remarks

This genus contains about 80 described species. They are distributed from Canada through much of South America, as well as in West Indies. See Figs 77–78 for habitus illustrations. See Bechyné (1958), Bechyné & Bechyné (1968), Munroe & Smith (1980), and Cabrera (1999) for keys to many of the species. Some of the smaller beetles are very similar to some of the small Isotes , and their generic placements warrant reevaluation.
