Attelabus

Hab.MEXICO, Tierra Colorada in Guerrero (H. H. Smith).

A single female example. This is probably the exponent of a species very near to A. læsicollis; it is smaller, and has the eyes placed nearer to the thorax, but the male should be known before a decision is made about it.

Attelabus is at present a genus of more than 100 species, distributed over the continental regions of the world, and no doubt numerous in the tropics, as there are many undescribed species extant in collections. South America and the Antilles have yielded at present the larger proportion of its representatives.
 
Bedel¹ has recently proposed to transfer the name Attelabus to the allied genus Apoderus, on the ground that in the tenth edition of the ‘Systema Naturæ’ an insect now referred to Apoderus was the representative of Attelabus. In the Munich Catalogue, which I here follow, the origin of the genus is assigned to the twelfth edition of the ‘Systema Naturæ’; or the genus may be credited to Olivier, whose work really inaugurated the modern arrangement of the genus and its allies. Either course appears sufficiently satisfactory, and enables us to avoid the confusion caused by Bedel's proceeding [which involves the alteration of some hundreds of names of species of Curculionidæ—Apoderus being called Attelabus, AttelabusChyphus (emended to Cyphus), and CyphusNeocyphus], so that I have no doubt the course I now adopt will receive the sanction of Coleopterists.
 
Attempts have been made in a more or less distinct manner to subdivide the genus; BIOL. CENTR.-AMER., Coleopt., Vol. IV. Pt. 3, April 1889. BBbut the divisions have not proved satisfactory, and I follow Lacordaire and the Munich Catalogue in using the name in its more extended sense.

Attelabus est un genre d'insectes coléoptères de la famille des Attelabidae. Ce genre est appelé en français Attelabe, Attélabe et Cigarier en référence au comportement des femelles qui confectionnent un rouleaux avec des feuilles pour protéger leur larve. En France, une seule espèce est référencée par l'INPN : Attelabus nitens.
