Mantilleri, Antoine, 2010, A taxonomic review and phylogeny of the genera Hoplopisthius Senna, 1892 and Carcinopisthius Kolbe, 1892 (Coleoptera: Brentidae, Hoplopisthiini), Zootaxa 2516, pp. 1-26 : 4

Hoplopisthius Senna, 1892

Hoplopisthius Senna, 1892: 451 . Type species: Hoplopisthius trichemerus Senna, 1892 , by monotypy.

Diagnosis. Body oblong. Head flattened, especially the prorostrum, without well marked vertex-frontal median groove. Venter of mesorostrum with two small projections below insertion of antennae ( Figs 21 , 36 ). Metarostrum without well marked lateral grooves. Three last antennomeres slightly flattened, forming a club ( Figs 23 , 37 ), 11 acute apically. Pronotum pyriform, much broader at base than at apex, with a longitudinal median groove, glabrous. Prothorax without median fovea in front of procoxae. Femora flattened; protibia very short, squat ( Figs 24 , 50 , 60 , 76 , 86 , 95 ). Elytra glabrous. Elytral striae well marked; apex of elytra with caudal processes, never regularly rounded. Hind wings ( Fig. 34 ) with a well developed mediocubital cell and only one primary anal vein; anal lobe large. Metasternum with a longitudinal median groove and usually not laterally carinate. Male genitalia with parameres reduced, filiform, not fused together ( Fig. 33 , 44 ). Gonopods IX of female genitalia with lateral and much reduced styli ( Fig. 32 ); coxites IX very long and fused in their basal part ( Fig. 31 ).

Remarks. All characters given in the diagnostic parts of the genus Hoplopisthius and of the three subgenera are not restated for each species.
