Key to subgenera of Gauromaia

The key is an attempt to diagnose the subgenera of Gauromaia in the new sense proposed in this work and is based mainly on the features of the type species of each subgroup.

1 Lateral edge of pronotum not margined; transition of pronotal disc to hypomeron indistinct, defined by weak, obtuse carina................................................................................ subgen. Falsogauromaia

– Lateral edge of pronotum fully margined, visible in dorsal view at least at pronotal base; transition of pronotal disc to hypomeron distinct, defined by strong, deflected carina................................................................ 2

2 Prosternal intercoxal process surpasses posterior margin of prosternum; entire margined lateral edge of pronotum visible in dorsal; macropterous.................................................................. subgen. Gauromaia

– Prosternal intercoxal process does not or barely surpasses posterior margin of prosternum; margined lateral edge of pronotum visible in dorsal view only in basal portion of pronotum; brachypterous or apterous.................. subgen. Celebesa
