Key to species of Craspedophorus brevicollis View in CoL group

1) Body wider, elytra ovoid. Pronotum strongly transverse (length/width ratio <1.7), base with a long, shallow incisure near each margin, pedunculation distinct ( Plate 15 View PLATE 15 , Figs 119–124). Each elytron with two yellow-red maculae at most, humeral and preapical............................................................................................2

- Body more parallel-sided. Pronotum less transverse (length/width ratio> 1.7), base without any distinct marginal incisure and without pedunculation. Each elytron with three maculae, one covering humerus, the second (posthumeral) distantly located in front of the elytral midlength, and the third is the preapical. ( Plate 15 View PLATE 15 , Figs 125–128). East and South Africa............................................................................................... C. abnormis Bates, 1886 View in CoL

2 Pronotum more convex anteriorly, anterior angles not protruded anteriorly. Elytra with yellow maculae large, wide, not fragmentated, humeral one reaching from II to IX interval, preapical one reaching from II (III) to VIII interval. Apterous, larger species, 17–21 mm.
