Antennomere II shorter than antennomere III 2
2 Body slender, narrow, parallel-sided; BL/BW = 3.5; tibial spurs 1-1-2; elytral apex truncate; elytral tubercles only at apical half (females unknown) Pantilema Aurivillius
Body more robust, mostly broadly oval; BL/BW = 2.4–3.1; tibial spurs 0-0-2 or 2-2-2; elytral apex rounded; elytral tubercles distributed along whole elytral length and/or forming distinct ridges 3
3 Antennomere III shorter than antennomere XI; antennomere II 0.4–0.7 times as long as antennomere III; antennomere III 1.7–2.4 times longer than wide 4
Antennomere III longer than antennomere XI; antennomere II 0.2–0.3 times as long as antennomere III; antennomere III 3.2–4.1 times longer than wide 6
4 Body larger (BL 14.3 mm); genae parallel-sided at frontal view (Fig. 43); surface of scape smooth; elytra with distinct ridges without individual tubercles (Fig. 40); outer margin straight at lateral view (Fig. 41) (Eurystyrax gen. n.) Eurystyrax nemethi sp. n.
