Diagnosis
Body usually yellow or yellowish-brown, bright, and pronotum with or without green reflex (

); pronotal anterior margin not beaded; pronotum−scutellum contact acutely sinuous (

); prosternum with an anterior longitudinal carina; protibia with two external teeth and with a spur; meso- and metacoxae separate; internal area of metatarsomere V with spine-like setae; male ventrite VI with two parallel and setose carinae (

Remarks
The genera
Ancistrosoma
,
Chariodema
,
Faula
,
Manopus
,
Pectinosoma
and
Pseudopectinosoma
are similar to each other. They have a sinuous pronotum−scutellum contact and meso- and metacoxae separate.
Chariodema
is distinguished by protibia with two external teeth and with a spur, and male ventrite VI with two parallel and setose carinae (
Fig. 9A
).
