Lanterius Alonso Zarazaga & Lyal, 1999

The genus name Lanterius Alonso – Zarazaga & Lyal (1999) was proposed to include those species that were orphaned when it was recognized that Mimographus sensu Lacordaire 1863 and Hustache, 1947 (and in consequence in Wibmer & O’Brien, 1986) was a misidentification of the original Mimographus Schoenherr, 1847 . The type species of Lanterius is Mimographus amandus Kirsch, 1868 . Lanteri & del Río (2017a) established the new combination Lanterius micaceus ( Hustache, 1947) and del Río et al. (2018), the new combination Lanterius inermis (Hustache) . Herein we transferred to Lanterius other species originally described in Naupactus Dejean. Most species included in Mimographus by Wibmer & O’Brien (1986: 56) and classified in Macrostylus (Mimographus) by Bordón (1997), probably belong to this genus, however, they should be studied in detail before adopting any nomenclatural acts.
