Treatment

Cytherea Fabricius View in CoL

Cytherea Fabricius, 1794: 413 View in CoL . Type species: Cytherea obscura Fabricius, 1794 View in CoL , automatic [by designation of type species for Mulio by Latreille (1810: 443)].

Mulio Latreille, 1797: 155 (unnecessary new replacement name for Cytherea Fabricius, 1794 View in CoL ). Type species: Cytherea obscura Fabricius, 1794 View in CoL , by subsequent designation (Latreille, 1810: 443).

Astropha Rafinesque, 1815: 130 (unnecessary new replacement name for Cytherea Fabricius, 1794 View in CoL ). Type species: Cytherea obscura Fabricius, 1794 View in CoL , automatic.

Glossista Rondani, 1856: 163 . Type species: Mulio infuscatus Meigen, 1820 View in CoL , by original designation.

Comments: With the recognition of Chalcochiton as a separate genus, this genus is readily recognised, and all reared species have the same host relations.

Keys: Engel (1932 –7), Paramonov (1931), and for Egypt, Efflatoun (1945) .

Hosts: Reared from egg-pods of Acridoidea ( Greathead 1963; du Merle 1975).

Distribution: Western Palaearctic Region. North Africa: 13 species.
