Ocneridia Bolivar, 1912 (type-species: Porthetis canonicus Fischer )

This is the only genus of the tribe Pamphagini without the Krauss's organ; this absence is found also in the genus Finotia , belonging to the tribe Finotiini . Massa & Biondi (1986) revised the genus Ocneridia and proposed a key to the following valid species: Ocneridia volxemii (Bolivar, 1878) ( Morocco and Algeria), Ocneridia microptera (Brisout de Barneville, 1851) ( Algeria) ( Fig. 4 ) and Ocneridia nigropunctata (Lucas, 1849) [= Ocneridia canonica Fischer, 1853 ] ( Algeria, Tunisia, North-West Libya and Italy (Sicily)) ( Figs. 3, 6 ).
