Extract

The author discusses the restriction of the genus Lepidosaphes to nine Holarctic species by Borchsenius and his assignment to other genera of most species previously placed in Lepidosaphes. These changes in generic assignment have affected the names of many species of economic importance. A key is presented to 13 genera allied to Lepidosaphes.
