Oxythyrea Mulsant 1842

Description

*Genus Oxythyrea Mulsant, 1842

The genus was redefined by Antoine (1997) taking into account the structure of the male genitalia. This author listed all the African species known so far in the four subgenera of this genus. A total of ten species are recognized in the nominal subgenus (Beinhundner 2017a). The genus had never been registered for Angola so far.
