Genus Ophraea Jacoby, 1886

Ophraea Jacoby, 1886: 492

(type species Ophraea rugosa Jacoby, 1886, by subsequent designation of Wilcox 1965).

Remarks

This genus currently contains twelve species, distributed from Arizona to Costa Rica. See Figs 40, 154, and 188 for a habitus illustration and morphological details. See Bechyné (1950) for a key that includes some, but certainly not all, of the species currently placed in the genus. However, be aware that Ophraea, as currently constituted, is heterogeneous. Some species should probably be transferred to other genera, such as Metrogaleruca . The following key to genera reflects the characteristics of the type species, but not necessarily those of all the species currently included in the Ophraea .
