Brachysomus View in CoL s. str.: B. hirtus group
1. Setae on elytra strongly erect and long (as long as interstrial width). Epifrons with deep median longitudinal sulcus, separated from vertex by distinct transverse depression. Aedeagus attenuate, with apex rounded ( Fig. 196A View FIGURE 196 ), obtuse, or acuminate ( Fig. 195A View FIGURE 195 ). Body length 1.75–2.60 mm....................................................................... 2
- Setae on elytra suberect and short (as half interstrial width). Epifrons with shallow median longitudinal sulcus, separated from vertex by slight transverse depression. Aedeagus evenly acute ( Fig. 198A View FIGURE 198 ). Body length 1.50–2.37 mm... B. subtilis Yunakov
2. Eyes weakly convex. Rostrum subconical ( Fig. 196C View FIGURE 196 ). Body fully covered with wide scales ( Fig. 196G View FIGURE 196 ). Apex of median lobe rounded ( Fig. 196A View FIGURE 196 )..................................................................... B. dubius Yunakov
