Revision of the South American genus Odontoderes (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Cholinae)

The 16 species of Odontoderes are reviewed. The genera Notophus and Solenopus are retained as synonyms of Odontoderes, and Callinotus is added to the synonymy. Callinotus discoideus Chevrolat is transferred provisionally to Cholus. Three species are synonymized: Cholus quadripunctatus Hustache, Solenopus bondari Hustache, and Solenopus percheroni Boheman. All species are found in South America, chiefly in French Guiana and Brazil; three species are recorded for the first time from Peru. Seven new species are described: albior, brevis, capetos, costalis, insculptus, scolius, and tumoris. Males of most species differ notably in their genitalia, which are illustrated for the first time
