Abstract

The Eoneria-group was proposed to gather species with opaque antennal base from all biogeographical regions. Recently, the Eoneria-group was redefined to comprise only three genera from the Neotropical Region: Antillonerius, Eoloxozus and Eoneria. Herein, we redescribe the species of the Eoneria-group and perform a phylogenetic analysis based on 49 morphological characters. Our results corroborate the monophyly of the Eoneria-group (excluding Antillonerius bistriatus (Williston)), supported by nine synapomorphies. Antillonerius solitarius (Johnson) stat. rev. is revalidated from synonymy with Antillonerius cinereus (Röder) and a key for the species in the Caribbean islands is provided. New combinations are proposed for Eoloxozus sabroskyi Aczél, which is transferred to Eoneria, and Nerius bistriatus Williston, which is transferred to Glyphidops. Additionally, new records of E. aczeli Sepúlveda & de Carvalho are provided for Venezuela and of E. blanchardi, for Venezuela and Paraguay.
