Stegomerus Wood, 1967: 129 ( Fig. 35 )

Type of genus

Stegomerus vulgaris Wood, 1967 .

Diagnosis

Stegomerus can be diagnosed by the short, almost spherical antennal scape, the antennal club, which is mostly symmetrical and with one or two visible procurved sutures, by the rounded lateral margin of the pronotum with bifurcating setae on the hypomeron, and the broadly divided apical plate of the proventriculus.
