Leiodes Latreille.

The Leiodes genus-group This group is characterized by having the mesosternum oblique between the mesocoxae. In North America it is known to contain only the genera Leiodes Latreille and Ecarinosphaerula Hatch. Baranowski (1993) revised the North American species of Leiodes. We here contribute new data on the genus Ecarinosphaerula Hatch.Published as part of Peck, Stewart B. & Cook, Joyce, 2013, Systematics and distributions of the genera Cyrtusa Erichson, Ecarinosphaerula Hatch, Isoplastus Horn, Liocyrtusa Daffner, Lionothus Brown, and Zeadolopus Broun of the United States and Canada (Coleoptera: Leiodidae: Leiodinae: Leiodini), pp. 1-32 in Insecta Mundi 2013 (310) on page 22, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.519371
