Diagnosis. (emended from Leduc & Verschelde, 2015)
Cuticle with coarse annulations; numerous long somatic setae may be present; head region annulated (sometimes intraspecific variation present, with the head of some specimens only partially annulated in dorsal and ventral regions). Amphid unispiral to spiral, located on amphideal plate; buccal cavity small- to medium-sized, with dorsal tooth and (usually) smaller subventral teeth. Pharynx with rounded or pyriform posterior bulb, lumen may be bipartite. Precloacal supplements present or absent; spicules short, arcuate, with well-developed capitulum; gubernaculum present.
The diagnosis proposed by Leduc & Verschelde (2015) was expanded to include another feature, the bipartite lumen. This is a diagnostic feature at the species level. The term "simple lumen" is used throughout the text, to distinguish from "bipartite lumen". A simple lumen has only one section in the oesophagus, while a bipartite lumen has two sections.

Remarks
The lectotype of this species had already been designated by Konstantinov et al. (2022). Presently, we confirm that the second specimen in Kiel is conspecific with the lectotype and treat it as a paralectotype. Its sex cannot be established as the wings cover the apical ventrite and the front tarsi are poorly visible. We confirm the correct placement in the genus Omophoita Chevrolat, 1836 based on the following characters: pronotal lateral explanation narrow, anterolateral corner of pronotum with lateral side straight, projecting directly forward, thickened. Intercoxal prosternal process narrow (see also Konstantinov et al. 2022).

description: Almafuerte kuru sp. nov.
(Figs. 16, 17 f, 22a)
Types. Holotype female from Argentina: Santiago del Estero Province: Departamento Moreno: Mercedes, 10 km E Amamá, VII–VIII 1995, D. Vezzani coll. (MACN-Ar 18257). Paratypes: same data as the holotype, six females (MACN-AR 36687, prep. CJG-1482).
Etymology. The specific name means “worm” in Quichua santiagueño language, and refers to the elongate, coiled shaped copulatory ducts, very different from other congeners. “Quichua santiagueño” is a dialect still spoken in many regions of Santiago del Estero, derived from the original Peruvian Quechua language.
Diagnosis. Females of A. kuru are recognized by the smaller primary spermathecae and the very long and convoluted copulatory ducts (Fig. 17 f).
Description. Female holotype: Measurements: Total length 8.97, carapace 3.06 long, 2.42 wide; sternum 1.78 long, 1.39 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.165, ALE 0.119, PME 0.125, PLE 0.151; AME-AME 0.10, AME-ALE 0.03, PME-PME 0.06, PME-PLE 0.14, ALE-PLE 0.06. Legs (femur/patella/tibia/metatarsus/tarsus); I 2.17/1.43/1.78/1.14/0.892, II 1.92/1.25/1.49/1.15/0.781, III 1.69/0.95/1.09/1.25/0.732, IV 2.27/0.98/1.99/1.89/ 0.851. Leg spination: femora: I d1-1, p0-0-1; II d1-1-0, p0-1/0-1; III d1-1-0, dp 0-1-1/0, dr 0-1-1; IV d1-0-1-0, dr 0-0-0-1; patellae: III r1, IV r1; tibiae: II v1 ap, III d1-0-0, p1-1-1, v1-2 -2ap, r0-1-0-1; IV p1-0-1, v1-2 -2ap, r1-1; metatarsi I v1 -0-0, II v2-2 -0, III d0-2-0-2, p 0-1-0-1, v2-2 -2ap, r1-1-0-1, IV d1-2-0-2, p1-1-0-1, v2-2 -2ap, r0-1-0-1.
Epigynum (Fig. 16 c–e): Anterior hood relatively small, posterior to that, the slightly sclerotized field has strong procurved folds; copulatory area orange, with the convoluted copulatory ducts visible by transparency; copulatory openings ventrally located, connecting with long and very convoluted ducts (especially the section between the copulatory openings and the insertion of the secondary spermathecae), ending in relatively small primary spermathecae (Fig. 17 f). All other characters are common for the genus.
Natural history and habitat preferences. Unknown. The type locality belongs to the Dry Chaco biogeographic province, in a semiarid secondary forest that suffered an intense deforestation in recent years (biotope characterized in detail by Vezzani et al. 2001).
Material examined. Only the types.
Distribution. Only known from the type locality, in central Santiago del Estero, Argentina.

Current status
Asphaera nobilitata (Fabricius, 1787).
Measurements
Lectotype (Fig. 3): LB = 4.39 mm; WB = 2.72 mm. Paralectotype (Fig. 4): LB = 4.15 mm; WB = 2.29 mm.
Remarks
The lectotype for Chrysomela nobilitata is designated here to have a unique bearer of this name and the standard for its application. The male specimen was chosen as lectotype because the aedeagus is usually better documented and most informative for species identification in Oedionychina (Van Roie unpubl. data). The right antenna of the lectotype is missing segments 6–11, the left antenna is missing segments 10–11. We confirm the correct placement in the genus Asphaera Duponchel & Chevrolat in d’Orbigny, 1842 based on the following characters: distance between antennal sockets less than or equal to transverse diameter of antennal socket in frontal view, second antennomere about half as long as third antennomere, anterolateral callosity of pronotum long and directed anteriorly. Lateral margin of elytron widely explanate (see also Konstantinov et al. 2022). One specimen, likely conspecific with Chrysomela nobilitata, was misplaced in the type series of Galleruca oculata Fabricius, 1801 (see below, Fig. 5). We are not sure if it is part of the type series, so we do not consider it a paralectotype, we do illustrate it and keep it with the rest of the species.

Almafuerte facon

description: Almafuerte facon sp. nov.
(Figs. 19 a–e; 20 e–f; 22b)
Type. Holotype male from Bolivia: Cochabamba Department, 10 km. Sacaba, elev. 3300 m, 28–29.I.1976, without collector (MACN-Ar 18154, prep. CJG 1518).
Etymology. The “ facón ” is a knife (used as tool and as weapon) by the gauchos. The specific epithet refers to the straight and acute shape of the ventral branch of the RTA in retrolateral view.
Diagnosis. The male of A. facon is similar in the RTA, and the general shape of the bulb to that of A. goloboffi, but the ventral protrusion of the ventral part of tegulum is less pronounced. Other differences from A. goloboffi are the more straight ventral branch of the RTA (in retrolateral view), and the absence of a distal ventral retrolateral ledge on the palpal patella (Fig. 20 f).
Description. Male holotype: Measurements: Total length 8.22, carapace 4.02 long, 3.08 wide; sternum 2.11 long, 1.64 wide. Eye sizes and interdistances: AME 0.152, ALE 0.171, PME 0.162, PLE 0.139; AME-AME 0.128, AME-ALE 0.0293, PME-PME 0.0767, PME-PLE 0.259, ALE-PLE 0.158.

Remarks
The lectotype for Chrysomela quadriguttata is designated here to have a unique bearer of this name and the standard for its application. The left antenna of the lectotype is missing segments 6–11. This species had been synonymized with Omophoita aequinoctialis (Linnaeus, 1758) by Harold 1877: 140. Chrysomela quadriguttata indeed shares some resemblance with O. aequinoctialis, but clearly does not belong in Oedionychina. Based on the following characters it belongs to Disonychina LeConte & Horn, 1883: frontal ridge long, about twice as long as clypeus; pronotum quadrate, anterolateral callosity of pronotum strongly rounded, apical metatarsomere not globosely swollen. Within Disonychina, it belongs to Phenrica Bechyné, 1957.

Current status
Asphaera abbreviata (Fabricius, 1781).
Measurements
Misplaced specimen (Fig. 9): LB = 5.05 mm; WB = 2.80 mm.
Remarks
The specimen in Kiel with label abbreviata belongs to Monomacra Chevrolat, 1836, but it does not conform with the original description of Galleruca abbreviata. It is an alticine but obviously does not belong in Oedionychina. Olivier (1808) redescribed and figured this species. Both description and illustration are not similar to the specimen in Kiel. Thus, we suspect that the original type specimen of Galleruca abbreviata is currently lost, and potentially destroyed. Due to the type not conforming with the descriptions of Fabricius and Olivier, we did not designate a lectotype for this species. We do illustrate it (Fig. 9).

Original description
“G. pallida, elytrorum sutura, atomisque ferrugineis. Habitat in Carolina. Mus. D. Bosc. Statura parva G. tenellae. Antennae ferrugineae. Caput ferrugineum, vertice nigro. Thorax marginatus, pallidus, immaculatus. Elytra laevia, pallida, sutura, quae tamen apicem [haue] attingit, puncto maiori distincto in medio atomisque ferrugineis. Corpus pallidum.”
Current status
Synonym of Capraita suturalis (Fabricius, 1801).
Measurements
Lectotype (Fig.10): LB = 3.03 mm; WB = 1.56 mm (specimen difficult to measure due to body pose on insect pin, see Fig. 10).
Remarks
The lectotype for Galleruca atomaria is designated here to have a unique bearer of this name and the standard for its application. Although the syntype of Galleruca suturalis should be housed at Paris, our current understanding of the identity of the latter species does imply a correct status of Galleruca atomaria as synonym. We confirm the correct placement in the genus Capraita Bechyné, 1957 based on the following characters: sides of pronotum widely explanate, with anterolateral callosity of pronotum hook-like, directed anterolaterally; vertex with many punctures; metafemora triangular, apical metatarsus strongly globosely swollen (see also Konstantinov et al. 2022).

Distribution. Madagascar: Mahajanga (Gusenleitner 1992)
Notes. Gusenleitner (1992) described the Malagasy endemic genus Malgachemenes, comparing it with the Neotropical genus Montezumia de Saussure, 1852, providing as diagnostic characters the absence of an epicnemial carina and shape of the tegula. Examination of the holotype of Malgachemenes angustus (Fig. 4), the only species described in the genus, clearly shows that this taxon has little in common with Montezumia, except a vague superficial similarity in habitus. The following diagnostic characters observed in this Malagasy endemic more closely match the genus Leptomenes: clypeus matte, metanotum oblique and not carinate, submarginal carina of propodeum fused to propodeal valvula, T1 subtriangular in dorsal view and not carinate, T2 without apical lamella, second submarginal cell basally acute. It should be noted that the submarginal carina of the propodeum is not developed to form a subtriangular projection as in other species of the genus, but this character is subject to interspecific variability in related genera (e.g. Antepipona de Saussure, Stenodynerus de Saussure), therefore the same degree of variability is expected to be found in Leptomenes too. Malgachemenes angustus is moved to Leptomenes, with the genus Malgachemenes being a junior synonym of the latter.

Measurements
Syntype (Fig. 11): LB = 5.21 mm; WB = 2.82 mm.
Remarks
The syntype housed in Kiel corresponds with the original description. However, it is clearly not an Alticine and belongs to Galerucini based on the thin metafemora missing metafemoral spring. Why this species was included in Oedionychina is difficult to trace. Illiger (1807: 83) noted in a footnote that Galleruca avicenniae should be included in the genus Haltica Geoffroy, 1762 (now a synonym of Altica Geoffroy, 1762), after a comment from Count von Hoffmansegg while visiting the collection of Count von Hagens in Berlin. Heikertinger & Csiki (1940: 439) included this species as Oedionychus avicenniae, effectively including in Oedionychina. The rationale behind this decision is unknown, but potentially because the footnote in Illiger (1807) including Galleruca avicenniae was on the same page with three species obviously belonging in Oedionychina (current combinations: Ciguapanychis bicolor (Linnaeus, 1767), Kuschelina thoracica (Fabricius, 1775) and Kuschelina vians (Illiger, 1807)).

Distribution. Madagascar: Fianarantsoa, Toliara (Borsato 1999; Giordani Soika 1941; Gusenleitner 2005).
Notes. Gusenleitner (2005) described Leptomenes extremus considering it an aberrant species for the genus, characterized by very elongate T1, broad clypeus with lateral lamellae and antenna of male not hooked, noting that the lamellate clypeus was similar to what is observed in Raphiglossa Saunders, 1850. Examination of the holotype of L. extremus (Fig. 5) clearly shows that this species is a Raphiglossa indeed, due to wing venation, short and robust mandibles, elongate mouthparts, simple antennae and morphology of propodeum. Moreover, the peculiar shape of the pronotal carina and the perfect match of other characters place this taxon as a junior synonym of Raphiglossa lemuriae Giordani Soika, 1941, the only known Malagasy species of this genus.
The original description of L. extremus (Gusenleitner 2005) indicates the private collection of Josef Gusenleitner as depository of the holotype, but it is actually found in the collection of the California Academy of Science (CAS).
The type specimens of Raphiglossa lemuriae, including the lectotype, are reported to be deposited in MSNVE (Giordani Soika 1941, 1973), but they were not found during the reordering recently carried out on the Giordani Soika collection (Dal Pos et al. 2022). They are to be considered lost.
