  • Oxycopis

    Oxycopis is a genus of false blister beetles (family Oedemeridae) established by Arnett in 1951. The genus contains approximately 16-17 described species. Members of this genus are found within the tribe Asclerini and subfamily Oedemerinae. As false blister beetles, they share the family characteristic of producing a chemical secretion that can cause skin irritation in some oedemerid species, though specific toxicity data for Oxycopis is limited.
