Abstract:

The Neotropical genus Lomanoxia MARTINEZ is reviewed and transferred from Eupariini to a new tribe Lomanoxiini. A comparative study of the mesocoxal structures in Lomanoxiini, Eupariini, and in the heteromeran Tenebrionoidea is presented. Two new species from Brazil arc described: Lomanoxia ituensis sp. n. and L. melloi sp. n. Com­ments on the affinities and a key to the species are included.
