Armasius Perez-Gelabert and Yong, 2014 View in CoL

Regarding only extant taxa, Armasius is the most recent record of cladonotines from the Neotropical region. It was found in Cuba ( Perez-Gelabert and Yong 2014; Cigliano et al. 2018). Armasius iberianus Perez-Gelabert and Yong, 2014 is the unique species in the genus, which presents the unique characteristic among Neotropical Cladonotinae of a lateral lobe of the pronotum modified as a sharp projection with triangular shape (male) ( Yong 2017) or forming a spine (female) ( Perez-Gelabert and Yong 2014).
