“…Finding that the name Alcathous was preoccupied by Alcathous Stål, 1863 (Hemiptera), Monné (2005) replaced it with Alcathousiella. The genus has since been associated (Nascimento & Botero 2019) with a group of genera of Acanthocinini Blanchard, 1845 (Alcathousiella Monné, 2005, Amniscites Gilmour, 1955, Odontozineus Monné, 2009, Xenocona Gilmour, 1960and Xenostylus Bates, 1885 with the following characters: antennomeres III-XI elongated, elytra without erect setae and without lateral carinae, elytra with central basal crest, with or without erect setae on apex, mesoventral process without tubercle, antennomere III with internal apical spine in the males. In their paper they redefined the above genera and provided a key to separate them.…”
