Tribal diagnosis.

Mandibular scrobe without seta near anterior margin of excavation, mesocoxal cavities conjunct (mesepimeron does not reach middle coxal cavity), metepisternum separated from metepimeron by distinct suture, and parameres without setae, with left paramere “conchoid”, therefore a member taxon of Conchifera Jeannel, 1941 ( Jeannel 1949b: 1047); head with one pair of supraorbital setae, its capsule “normal”, i.e. without annular constriction behind eyes and with ultimate maxillary palpomere elongate and well-centered with respect to penultimate palpomere, pronotum usually without anterolateral setae, anterior coxal cavities biperforate, elytron with internal plica, metepisternum laterally coadunate with elytral epipleuron, middle femur posterior margin without longer setae, metacoxa lacking posterior seta, and median lobe of aedeagus in lateral view long and considerably bent, with basal bulb decreased, indicate a member taxon of Callistidae Jeannel, 1941 ( Jeannel 1949b: 1051); tegument glabrous, largely impunctate, antennomere 3 glabrous (excluding apical setae), posterior margin of pronotum not fringed, elytron with stria 7 ended before apex, stria 8 deeper than other striae, and interval 9 transformed into marginal gutter partly or throughout, add traits peculiar to tribe (all genera, except for Bamaroodes gen. n., have also elytron with intervals 7 and 8 fused and forming a ridge posteriorly).

A key to the genera for adults of Oriental Oodini , including Oriental Chlaeniini with oodine facies
