description: <i>Holostrophus</i> Horn, 1888 <i>Holostrophus</i> Horn, 1888: 32.— Type species: <i>Eustrophus bifasciatus</i> Say, 1824 (subs. des.; Nikitsky, 1998: 48); Blatchley, 1910: 1293; Champion, 1915: 139; Leng, 1920: 238; Hatch, 1965: 66; LeSage, 1991: 246; Poole and Gentili, 1996: 299; Nikitsky, 1998: 48; Young and Pollock, 2002: 416. According to Nikitsky (1998), this genus comprises 17 species worldwide, distributed in the Russian Far East, Korea, China, Japan, the Orient, and Nearctic regions. In North America, there is the single species <i>H</i>. <i>bifasciatus</i> (Say). In further justifying his separation of the genera <i>Pseudoholostrophus</i> and <i>Holostrophus</i>, Nikitsky (1998: 40) stated that “it seems noteworthy that species of <i>Pseudoholostrophus</i> display the elytra either one-color but not black or with a light humeral spot only, or with a clarified diffused transverse fascia in basal part. A more clearly evident reddish-yellow or red spotty pattern of the elytra is characteristic of <i>Holostrophus</i>, not <i>Pseudoholostrophus</i> ”.
