Subgenus Pseudomorpha Kirby, 1823 View in CoL View at ENA

Pseudomorpha Kirby, 1823a: 98. Type species: Pseudomorpha excrucians Kirby, 1823 by monotypy.

Diversity.

Twenty-seven species in the Western Hemisphere.

Identification.

Notman (1925) published a key to all species known at the time except Pseudomorpha ruficollis described the previous year. Since then, two new North American species have been described by Van Dyke (1943, 1953a). Species identification of the Nearctic fauna is almost impossible without recourse to type material. A thorough revision is needed.
