Stethoperma Lameere 1884

Stethoperma Lameere, 1884 Stethoperma Lameere, 1884: 94. Stethoperma (Medioclarofascia) Özdikmen, 2025k: 3265. Syn. nov. Remarks. Özdikmen (2025k) divided Stethoperma into two subgenera and reported: “In first group [Stethoperma (Stethoperma) Lameere, 1884: 93], head above (vertex) and pronotum never with longitudinal bands of hairs medially; elytra never with a sutural band of hairs;” and “In second group, head above (vertex) and pronotum always with longitudinal bands of hairs medially; elytra always with a sutural band of hairs, as wide as with the bands of hairs on vertex.” As with the other subgenera described by Özdikmen (2025k), using pubescence as a subgeneric feature is unjustified, as it represents a species-level trait rather than a generic one. Consequently, we are synonymizing Stethoperma (Medioclarofascia) with Stethoperma.
