Abstract
Keys to genera and 44 species of the tribe Oxypodini C.G. Thomson are provided. Calodera bennetti Klimaszewski, sp. n., is described as a new species with the first record of the genus Calodera in BC. A review of BC species of Alfocalea Klimaszewski (1 sp.), Betocalea Klimaszewski (1 sp.), Blepharhymenus Solier (1 sp.), Calodera Mannerheim (1), Crataraea C.G. Thomson (1 sp.), Devia Blackwelder (1 sp.), Gnathusa Fenyes (2 spp.), Megocalea Klimaszewski (1 sp.), Meotica Mulsant and Rey (1 sp), Metocalea Klimaszewski (1 sp.), Mniusa Mulsant and Rey (1 sp.), Neoisoglossa Casey (1 sp.), Neothetalia Klimaszewski (6 spp.), Ocalea Erichson(1sp), Ocyusa Kraatz (1 sp.), Oxypoda Mannerheim (19 spp.), Parocalea Bernhauer (1 sp.), and Phloeopora C.G. Thomson (3 spp.) is presented. The following is provided for each species: a morphological diagnosis, distribution, information about habitat and methods of collection, key references, colour images of the habitus, and black and white images of the genitalia (median lobe of the aedeagus, spermatheca) and terminal segments of both sexes.
