Catoptes sec. Kuschel

Kuschel (1969), upon studying the type specimen of Catoptes obliquesignatus Boheman, ascertained that the name Catoptes had been misapplied by Broun, Sharp and Marshall. That is, the species described in Catoptes by these authors were not congeneric with C. obliquesignatus . Catoptes sec. Kuschel includes Catoptes sec. Schönherr and Exonastus, Asaphia, Tigones, Platyomida, Getopsephus and Empaeotes (all sec. Broun) (Figure 97). This concept of Catoptes is accepted by the present author, and no modifications are made here.
