Abstract:
In order to clarify the obscure taxonomic relationships within the genus Pseudabris of the family Mylabrini, antennal sensilla of six representative species were photographed under a scanning electron microscope to document, analyze and compare their morphological traits, variation and distribution. A possible phylogenetic tree based on 14 antenatal characters revealed the following taxonomy: (Hycleus cichorii+H. phaleratus) + ((P. hingstoni + P. longiventris)) + (Mylabris calida + M. speciosa)).
