Key to the symbols used in the table 
v = specimen agrees with Germar’s generic diagnosis. 
x = generic character listed by Germar absent. 
® = differs from generic diagnosis but agrees with the description of the species. 
* (2) In the key Germar (1840 : 251) states that the 12th antennal segment is not visible. In the 
generic diagnosis (page 260) he states that the 12th segment is more or less hidden. 
* (3) Germar’s ‘kaum sichtbaren Enddorn’ suggests that the tibial spur is present but indistinct.
