acanthus group
These beetles are characterized by the extensive development of the elytral middiscal setal tuft. The setal tuft reaches its highest development in the members of this group; it extends from the sutural margin to the epipleural margin (fig. 38). Collectively, the members of this group have a distribution that ranges from southern Mexico to Argentina.
