A review of the genus Chaerodes (=Choerodes) white (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Phaleriinae)

The correct spelling of the genus is Chaerodes (not Choerodes auct.). There are two species of Chaerodes, known only from New Zealand: C. trachyscelides White (with C. concolor Sharp and C. fuscatus Broun as synonyms) and C. laetus Broun. A key and figures to separate them are presented.
