Abstract
The North American genus Parabyrsopolis is redefined, and a sister genus, Viridimicus,
is established to accommodate those species from southern Mexico to Guatemala
previously placed in Cotalpa or Parabyrsopolis. Parabyrsopolis is now monotypic, and
four new species (of six) in the genus Viridimicus are described from Mexico: V. cyanochlorus,
V. impunctatus, V . ratcliffei, and V. unitus. A key to the species of Viridimicus,
as well as keys to the tribes of Rutelinae, subtribes of Rutelini, and genera of Areodina
are presented. Phylogenetic hypotheses (based on cladistic methodology) and biogeographic
hypotheses (based on vicariance and dispersal events) for the genera of Areodina
and species of Viridimicus are presented.
