Description
Summary:This paper is the first in a series on Euphoria and related genera. In this part are presented a history of the group; a key to the genera; brief treatments of the genera Euphoriopsis, Chlorixanthe and Stephanucha; and an introduction to Euphoria, including generic synonymy, morphological characteristics and biological notes. Anatropis is placed as a new synonym of Stephanucha; Euphoriaspis and the subgenera Erirhipidia, Euphorhipis, Haplophoria, Isorhipina, and Rhipiphorina are placed as new synonyms of Euphoria. Stephanucha discicollis Thomson is removed to Euphoria.
