Genus Bothranthidium Moure

The genus Bothranthidium is considered a subgenus of Anthodioctes Holmberg by Michener (2007), a position not adopted here, following the position of Moure (1947) and subsequent works ( Parizotto et al., 2021; Urban, 1998, 2004). The genus is monotypic, and is characterized by the long pronotal lobe, the smaller stigma and the very broad scutoscutellar foveae.
