Identification keys

Subgenera of genus Brachysomus

1 Epifrons almost parallel-sided, at level of antennal insertion almost as wide as vertex between eyes. Both ventral and dorsal margins of antennal scrobes distinct. Lateral margins of epifrons partly hiding antennal sockets......... Brachysomus s. str.

- Epifrons distinctly narrowed apically, at level of antennal insertion narrower than vertex. Only ventral margin of antennal scrobe distinct, dorsal margin shortened or obsolete. Lateral margins of epifrons not hiding antennal sockets..... Hippomias

Species groups of subgenus Brachysomus s. str.

1 Elytral interstriae with rows of dark or light acute erect piliform setae ( Fig. 95, 100). Recumbent scales lanceolate and piliform. Epistome in male bears process in lateroapical angle (Fig, 99, 203D, 204G)........................... B. mihoki group

- Elytral interstriae with rows of light obtuse setae ( Figs. 180A, 190A). Recumbent scales oval or narrowly lanceolate, sometimes deeply excised apically. Epistome in male without process in lateroapical angle. Body length 1.5–3.0 mm............... 2

2 Body densely or sparsely covered with round, ovate, lanceolate or piliform scales, not excised at apex. Eyes slightly or (rarely) moderately convex, but not hemispherical.................................................................. 3

- Body densely covered with elongate scales deeply excised apically. Eyes strongly convex, hemispherical.... B. hirtus group

3 Body almost bare, at most very sparsely covered by short, piliform scales that appear as true hairs rather than as scales under moderate magnification (ca. 40x)............................................................ B. simplex group

- Body with dense or sparse covering of ovate or lanceolate scales................................................ 4

4 Antennal scape distinctly clavate, apical 1/3 significantly swollen................................. B. erinaceus group

- Antennal scape evenly widened to apex...................................................... B. echinatus group
