Osoriocanthus FAGEL, 1959

The genus Osoriocanthus was defined by FAGEL (1959) using the following characters: dentate shoulders of elytra; long setae on posterior face of the protibia; digitate protibia; no endophallus. No species was found combining all characters of the genus. A few species newly described under the genus Osoriellus are very similar ( IRMLER 2014b), but differ in some respect. Only one female specimen from Peru might be placed to the genus since it combines all generic characters. However, as the male is unknown, the aedeagus could not be studied. Nevertheless, it might be that the genus exists in the Neotropical region.
