Calopterini
Calopterini is a tribe of net-winged beetles (family Lycidae) within the subfamily Lycinae. The tribe contains the genus Lycinella, which is restricted to the Neotropical region. Males are flight-active and possess distinctive morphological features including eight pronotal stemmata, subserrate antennae with antennomere III longer than II but much shorter than IV, and strongly hooked mandibles. Females remain unknown and are presumed neotenic based on tribal affinities.
