Genus Dielis
Synonyms and other taxonomic changes
Species were revised and keyed by Bradley (1928).(1)
Bradley (1928, 1957, 1964) treated Dielis as a subgenus of Campsomeris. Betrem (1962) investigated the type species of the genus. Argaman (1996) assigned generic status to Dielis, which was implicitly supported by Osten (2005).
The validity of generic status remains supported by Khouri, Gillung, & Kimsey (2022), though D. pilipes consistently fell within Xanthocampsomeris and well outside other Dielis.
Explanation of Names
Dielis Saussure & Sichel, 1864
Numbers
5 spp. in our area
