General description:
Lepturobosca Reitter, 1913:17
Cosmosalia (Casey, 1913:267)
chrysocoma (Kirby in Richardson, 1837:179, tab. 5, fig. 2)
auripilis LeConte, 1850:339
aureola Casey, 1913:268
auripilis densepilosa Casey, 1924:281
Notes
Miroshnikov (1998) noted the close relationship of the North American species chrysocoma and nigrolineata (Bland) to the Palearctic Lepturobosca virens Linnaeus, 1758. He also provided justification for the priority of the name Lepturobosca, and treats Cosmosalia Casey as a subgenus. Here Cosmosalia is simply treated as a junior synonym of Lepturobosca.
