摘要：
The genus Apolopha Spinola is redefined to include five species: A. reichei Spinola the type species, A. nitida (Gorham), A. suturalis (Klug), A. fryana (Gorham), and A. eucharis, new species. The nominal species Pelonium apicicorne Chevrolat and Ichnea vitticollis Gorham are considered new junior synonyms of A. reichei Spinola. Apolopha fronticosta (Kuwert) is placed in synonymy with A. suturalis (Klug). A neotype is selected for A. reichei Spinola. Lectotypes are selected for A. fryana (Gorham), A. suturalis (Klug), and A. nitida (Gorham). The distinctive carina on the frons of the cranium is the most outstanding diagnostic characteristic of the members of the genus. This revision includes a description of the genus, and a key and descriptions of the species. A hypothesis of intrageneric evolution is also provided.
