1	Dorsal coloration light brown, rather uniform along body; serial rows of punctures on elytra very faintly defined (serial punctures slightly more impressed than ground punctures). Aedeagus with outer margin of parameres straight (Kohlenberg and Short 2017: fig. 14H) (Venezuela)	Tobochares canthus Kohlenberg & Short

2	Aedeagus slender, nearly 2.2 × longer than wide, with outer margin of parameres sinuate (parallel sided along basal two-thirds, then bending inward and tapering along apical third; Kohlenberg and Short 2017: fig. 14I)	Tobochares emarginatus Kohlenberg & Short
–	Aedeagus fusiform, nearly 2 × longer than wide, with outer margin of parameres convex, (diverging along basal half, then broadly bending inward and tapering along apical fifth; see Fig. 11C)	Tobochares fusus sp. nov.
