Diagnosis.
Body elongate oval to suboval (
Figs. 5–12
,
55
,
64
), usually larger than
4.5 mm
; dorsum shining, covered with long, dense vestiture; head moderately rugose (
Figs. 44–45
); antenna shortened (
Figs. 5–12
); antennal segment I cylindrical along entire length, weakly narrowed basally (
Figs. 55
,
64
,
74
); segment II stout (
Figs. 5–12
), covered with dense vestiture (
Figs. 74–75
); apex of labium reaching beyond apex of procoxae (
Fig. 51
); pronotal calli flattened, not distinctly separated from remainder of pronotum, sometimes absent (
Figs. 5–12
); scutellum almost flattened or weakly arched, without any medial swelling (
Figs. 5–12
); metepisternum inpunctate (
Figs. 50–51
,
69–70
); ostiolar peritreme characteristically rounded, devoid of microtrichae and shiny (
Figs. 71
); cuneus longer than its width (
Figs. 5–12
,
76, 78
); endosoma with DSS stout, strongly broadened basally and with full set of other sclerites (
Figs. 39
,
57–58, 60–61
,
80, 84

Dashymenia
is most similar to
Bakeriola
in sharing inpunctate metepisternum. This genus can, however, be distinguished by the flattened, indistinct pronotal calli.
