Type species: Argeremazus neuquen Stebnicka and Dellacasa, 2004 by original designation. |
| |
...... |
|
Diagnosis: Body robust, psammodiform. Head strongly convex; covered with distinct, erect setae.
Metatibial spurs adjacent, not separated by metatarsus. |
| |
...... |
|
Remarks: This genus is monotypic and endemic to the study region. Argeremazus presents an unusual
combination of characters; emphasis of different combinations indicating different tribal relationships. This
taxon needs to be included in a more detailed analysis of higher Aphodiinae to help resolve its true relationships.
For now, we leave it in the Aegialiini, pending further study. |
