On the status and systematic position of the genera <i>Falsolucidota</i> Pic, 1921 and <i>Macrolycinella</i> Pic, 1922, with notes on <i>Lopheros</i> LeConte, 1881 (Coleoptera: Lycidae)
Three new species, <i>Macrolycinella dichroma</i>, <i>M. bicoloricollis</i> and <i>M. bicoloripennis</i> spp.n., are described from Mexico. The genus <i>Hemiconderis</i> Kleine, 1926 syn.n. is synonymized with<i> Falsolucidota</i> Pic, 1921. <i>Macrolycinella</i> Pic, 1922 is redescribed, excluded from Calopterini and tentatively placed in Dictyopterini. <i>Falsolucidota testaceicollis</i> Pic, 1921 and <i>Macrolycinella bicolor </i>Pic, 1922, the type species of, respectively, <i>Falsolucidota</i> and <i>Macrolycinella</i>, are illustrated. <i>Aplatopterus</i> Reitter, 1911 nom.rev. is revalidated and <i>Aplatopterus rubens </i>(Gyllenhal, 1817), comb.n. is transferred from <i>Lopheros</i> LeConte, 1881 to <i>Aplatopterus</i>. The status of <i>Eulopheros</i> Kazantsev, 1995, stat.n., is raised to the genus level. The placement of the genera <i>Lopheros</i>, <i>Aplatopterus</i> and <i>Eulopheros</i> in Erotini is questioned. A key to species of <i>Macrolycinella </i>is provided.
