Cl. Bellamy et S. Bily, PHYLOGENETIC-RELATIONSHIPS AND TRIBAL PLACEMENT OF ODETTE BAUDON (COLEOPTERA, BUPRESTIDAE), Oriental insect, 31, 1997, pp. 409-418
The monotypic buprestid genus Odettea Baudon is briefly discussed in r
elationship to previous placements. Following the discussion of the re
sults of a cladistic analysis, we propose that Odettea be transferred
from the subtribe Nothomorphina Cobos to Polycestina Lacordaire. We su
ggest that Agaeocerina Nelson be transferred from Thrincopygini LeCont
e to Buprestini and Polycestina from Buprestini to Polycestini Lacorda
ire (= Thrincopygini). Photographs of male and female Odettea laosensi
s Baudon and two cladograms are presented.
