Eucinetus Germar, 1818

Type species.

Scaphidium haemorrhoidalis Germer, 1818.

Diagnosis.

Eucinetus can be separated from Bisaya , Eucilodes , Jentozkus , Proeuzkus , Tohlezkus , and Cretohlezkus by having the simple labium. Among the other genera, it differs from Eucinetella and Euscaphurus in the filiform antenna and broad labrum, and from Noteucinetus in the slender body shape and transverse rows of striae on elytra. Eucinetus is most similar to Nycteus except that antennomere 3 in Nycteus is distinctly shorter than the adjacent segments, which is almost the same length as antennomere 4 in Eucinetus .
