Pilosirus OPITZ, 1997

Pilosirus OPITZ, 1997: 54 . Type species: Pilosirus brunoi OPITZ, 1997: 54 . By original designation.

Diagnosis: Within Platynopterinae only in members of Pilosirus ( Fig. 73 ) and Ambonoides ( Fig. 62 ) is the 7 th antennomere disproportionally large. But, in Pilosirus specimens the pronotal disc is evenly convex whereas in Ambonoides specimens the pronotal disc is up-curved and flanged at the sides.

Description: Pilosirus and its type species were adequately described and illustrated in OPITZ (1997: 54).
