Ligula: The ligula praementum sensu KASZAB) of males bears either afew Sparse setae Sometimes complete ly lacking or a dense brush of shori yellowsetae. The lack or presence and also the extension of this brusti is specific. Theshape of the ligula itself is without taxonomic Value. Mentum: The s hape of the male mentum feems to be of less value, hut thestructure of the surtace flat, with a single excavation, with severat impression s)is specific. A further distinci species character at least in males - is the lack orpresence and extension os a dense yellow setation fas ora the ligula).

Elytra The shape of the elytra; the forna of the elytral laterat margin, thesi Ze of the punctures in the elytrat stri pes, the form and the punctation of the intervals are variable to a certain extend and not very hel psul for species separation. Sternites: Punctation and wrin kled structure are variable and without specific peculiarities. Protibia: In many species the male anterior tibia possesses Specific pecUlarities, such as the generat Sliape, excavations on the mediat fide, rows of granules Or keel S. Aedeagus: The shape of the parameres is characteristic at least for species grotips, the shape of the bended basal tube is simi lar in ali congeners. The tengthin relation to the si Ze of the abdomen is Vari able to a certain extent. Body The shape of the body in generat and si Ze is of less taxonomic Valuet, ut may hel p when a comparison with more numerous materiat is possibi e .
