Abstract
In this paper, Mimogeniates margaridae Martínez (Scarabaeidae, Rutelinae, Geniatini) is synonymized with Leucothyreus noctivagus Ohaus (syn. nov.). Hence, the monotypic genus Mimogeniates Martínez is a new junior synonym of Leucothyreus MacLeay (syn. nov.). Leucothyreus noctivagus is redescribed and illustrated based on the type and additional material, including new distributional records in southern Brazil. As a result of our work, the tribe Geniatini now includes 12 genera.
