Subgenus Liocellus Motschulsky, 1864

Liocellus Motschulsky, 1864: 207. Type species: Acupalpus nitidus Dejean, 1829 designated by Lindroth (1968: 882). Etymology. From the Greek prefix lio - (smooth) and cello (to run) [masculine].

Glycerius Casey, 1884c: 79. Type species: Acupalpus nitidus Dejean, 1829 by monotypy. Etymology. Possibly from the Greek glyceros (sweet) [masculine].

Diversity.

Eight species in North America (seven species) and Mexico (one species).

Identification.

Fall (1905: 175, as Glycerius ) published a key to the four North American species then known. Casey (1924) subsequently added three new species. The subgenus is in need of a taxonomic revision.
