46. Lydoceras Marseul, 1870

Denierus Pic, 1913 . Type species: Zonabris (Mylabris) stanleyana Duvivier, 1890 , by monotypy. Subsequently misspelled as Deniorus by Pic (1914).

Type species. Mylabris fasciata Fabricius, 1775 , by monotypy. 4 spp.

L. fasciata is recorded in the early literature also from Egypt (one specimen in

India are erroneous.
