Type species.

Globorentonium globulum Lawrence & Ślipiński, 2013 [by original designation]

Remarks.

The genus has been just recently described, therefore, it is not included in a generic key to Thymalini . A key to the all genera of Rentonium -group (denoted as Rentoniini Crowson, 1966) is provided by authors ( Lawrence and Ślipiński 2013: 270). Globorentonium includes three newly described species. A key to their recognition is also provided by the authors of original descriptions ( Lawrence and Ślipiński 2013: 259). Four supposed specimens of Globorentonium plaumanni from the same locality as the type series (Brazil: Santa Catarina, Nova Teutonia, leg. F. Plaumann 1972-77) are figured here.
