Tribe Placoscelini

This tribe was previously considered as part of the Acanthocephalini and is not found in some keys ( Packauskas 1994). Two keys include all Colombian genera: Brailovsky & Barrera (2012b) and Brailovsky (2021a).

All Colombian genera of Placoscelini possess recent taxonomical treatments: Dolling & Casini (1988) keyed the species of Nyttum Spinola , while Stenoscelidea Westwood was reviewed on Brailovsky & Barrera (2012b); likewise, Brailovsky & Barrera (2007) and Brailovsky & Barrera (2019a) keyed the known species of Plaxiscelis Stål (as Placoscelis ) and Stenoeurilla Brailovsky & Barrera respectively. Two species were previously known from Colombia, five others are reported here.
