Introduction
Euparyphus contains 4 subgenera. Euparyphus is most diverse in the Nearctic region, with 2 species shared between Nearctic and Neotropical regions, and 2 species found only south of the USA. Aochletus has 4 species from the Nearctic region, 4 from the Neotropical region, and 1 species shared between the two regions. Nigriparyphus has 1 species in the Neotropics, the rest in Nearctic. Euparyphus (Parochletus) nebulosus is found in SW USA and N. Mexico and E. (P.) pardalinus is from California and Utah (Woodley 2001).
Characteristics
Euparyphus is distinguished from other Nearctic Oxycerini by the elongated antenna, pedicel shorter than the combined length of the basal three flagellomeres, spines of scutellum always closer together than their length, the wing with thick, uniform microtrichia distally(James 1981).
R4 is fused with R5 and cell r3 is five or less times as long as wide in the subgenera Aochletus and Parochletus. R4 is separate from R5 and cell r3 is six or more times as long as wide in the subgenera Nigriparyphus and Euparyphus. Vein CuA2 and the veins around cell dm are faint in Aochletus but distinct and strong in Parochletus. The second to last antennal flagellomere is much shorter than the third to last antennal flagellomere in Nigriparyphus but they are about equal in length in Euparyphus (James 1981).
