Ellipsidions
Ellipsidion Saussure, 1863
Type species: Thyrsocera australis Saussure, 1863
Fauna Portal Genus Number: 384
(after Roth 1999): Similar to Balta, but pronotum usually completely opaque (not so in Balta), abdomen usually black, lateral and hind margins whitish or yellowish (not so in Balta), subgenital plate hind margin usually symmetrical or subsymmetrical (variably shaped asymmetrical or symmetrical in Balta), styles distinctly or weakly similar (usually similar in Balta), apex of male genital hook not incised (incised in Balta) and male median genital phallomere branched or modified near middle (modified near apex in Balta).
Somatic morphology within species can be highly variable and male genital morphology should be examined for species identification in Ellipsidion.
