Abstract


A new genus Pnoia gen. nov. is described based on the single syntype known of Attelabus femoralis Fabricius, 1801, from Guyana. This single syntype is designated as the lectotype. The new combination Pnoia femoralis is proposed, and, in addition, Pnoia latipes (Sharp, 1891), comb. nov. is proposed for Apion latipes. The characters of the new genus are discussed and it is placed in the subtribe Piezotrachelina.
