Leptotrema View in CoL View at ENA van Achterberg, 1988

( Figs 17–25 View FIGURES 17 – 25 )

Note. The genus Leptotrema van Achterberg, 1988 was named to accommodate L. dentifemur (Stelfox, 1943) originally described from Ireland, Scotland and England. This Palaearctic species has also been recorded from The Netherlands, North West Germany and Austria (van Achterberg, 1988). It is characterized by the presence of small tooth on the ventral margin of hind femur. Examination of Oriental Alysiinae by the second author revealed that Aspilota bovefemora Bhat, 1979 exhibit a similar character and is therefore here included in the genus as L. bovefemora ( Bhat, 1979) comb. nov.

Synonymy. According to Wharton (2002) a synonym of Dinotrema Foerster, 1862 . More information is needed to decide about its position within the Aspilota -group.

Biology. Unknown.

Distribution. Palaearctic, Oriental and Australian regions.
