- Atractocerus Palisot de Beauvois, 1801 Atractocerus Palisot de Beauvois, 1801: 3. Type species: Atractocerus necydaloides Palisot de Beauvois (monotypy) (= Necydalis brevicornis Linnaeus, 1766). Diagnosis. Species of Atractocerus in the strict sense are characterised by the large, elongate eyes, elongate, horizontal head, which is narrower than the pronotum, and very short elytra. Distribution. At least ten species of Atractocerus have been described from California to Brazil, Africa, Madagascar, India, Sri Lanka, Southeast Asia, Indonesia and northwestern Australia, but it is not certain that all of these species are congeneric. According to Kurasawa (1985), A. brevicornis (Linnaeus), A. reversus Walker and A. brasiliensis Lepeletier & Audinet-Serville belong to this genus, and A. crassicornis Clark should be added to this list.
