Identification key to the genera of
Apholeuonus
phyletic group
All genera of this phyletic group are found in northern, western and central
Bosnia and Herzegovina
. The distribution of
Parapropus
,
Haplotropidius
and
Spelaites
extendes to part of
Croatia
and southern
Slovenia
.
1 Pronotum approximately wide as elytra width or wider; body shape spherical or elliptical (bathyscioid,
