beckeri (Martínez), new combination; Leucothyreus bucki Machatschke is a new junior synonym of L. beckeri
(Martínez).Microchilus is limited to two species, M. beckeri (Martínez) and a new species,Microchilus rodmani
Jameson, here described. Characters that circumscribe the genus, biology, and species distribution are discussed.
A key to the species is provided.
