Abstract: Picrotus Sharp, 1886 (Figs 3–5) Type species. Picrotus thoracicus Sharp, 1886, by monotypy. Diagnosis. Picrotus is easily distinguished from most Picrotini by having a broad body form with a glabrous body surface, an antennal club of 2 antennomeres, and a wide lateral bead along the prothoracic carina, which it shares with Callichrotus. It can be distinguished from Callichrotus by the narrower frons between the antennal insertion and free abdominal ventrites. A full description of this genus is available in GIMMEL & LESCHEN (2022). Included species. Picrotus thoracicus Sharp, 1886; P. wairarapa sp. nov.
