| 6 | Occipital area with shallow furrow sometimes reduced to deep small fovea at midpoint; elytral intervals in preapical area flat | 7 |
| – | Occipital area without longitudinal furrow, only with weak impression and thin, indistinct suture; elytral intervals in preapical area distinctly convex | Lilioceris egena (Weise) |
