A Synopsis of the Genus Areoda (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae)
Abstract
The three species in the genus Areoda are reviewed for the first time. The genus is
characterized, a key to species is provided, each species is described, spatial and temporal
distributions are given, and the biogeography is discussed. We consider their distribution
to be isolated and relictual in the Atlantic coastal forests of southeastern Brazil
