Abstract

The genus Dicerca, in the tribe Buprestini, is placed nearest the genera Poecilonota and Trachykele based on larval and adult morphology. The external morphology of 8500 specimens including the genitalia of the males, the geographical distribution, and host plant data reveals 27 valid species which are arranged in 7 groups. Twenty-one new synonymies are listed, D. frosti Nelson is reduced to a subspecies of D. callosa Casey, D. cajonensis Knüll is elevated to specific standing and the subspecies D. tenebrosa knulli is described as new. Figures of all species not previously well illustrated are given and a key to the species and subspecies is included.
