Abstract

Detailed generic descriptions are given for all stages of Brillia Kieffer. Keys are presented to separate them from those of allied genera, Eurycnemus Wulp, Euryhapsis Oliver, and Xylotopus Oliver. The known stages of five Nearctic species, including one new species Brillia laculata, are described. Two species-groups, the flavifrons group and the modesta group, are defined.

Résumé

L'auteur décrit en détail les stades du genre Brillia Kieffer et donne une clé pour les distinguer des genres voisins Eurycnemus Wulp, Euryhapsis Oliver et Xylotopus Oliver. On retrouve aussi dans l'article une description des stades connus de cinq espèces néarctiques, y compris la nouvelle espèce Brillia laculata, ainsi que de deux groupes d'espèces, les groupes flavifrons et modesta.
