Remarks.
Four species of this group have robust, dorsally coarsely and densely rugose pronotal horn with nearly indistinct crest, more or less emarginate male sternum VII, and rather uniform morphology of the aedeagus (

and

). At least two Afrotropical species, distributed in northern Sub-Saharan part of Africa, appear to be very close to this subgroup; see Remarks under
