Diagnosis.
Moderately large to small beetles with dorsal surfaces setose and usually bearing stiff bristles. Head: eyes coarsely facetted, deeply emarginate to divided; frontoclypeus in front of antennae short, distinctly sloping; frontoclypeal suture visible. Antennal insertions close to mandibular articulations, on raised tubercles; antennal foramen lateral with thin rim bearing external articulation. Antennae long, filiform without spines; antennal scape shorter than length of pronotum. Prothorax with lateral projection or spine; procoxal cavities transverse with lateral expansions; externally open; procoxae projecting below prosternal process, very narrowly separated; protrochantin exposed. Mesocoxal cavities externally open to mesepimeron; mesocoxae without secondary articulation; mesotrochantin visible.
Remarks.
We were able to examine mostly Australian representatives of this tribe and cannot comment on the status of the
New Zealand
or
South American
taxa; however, based on the description and illustrations in
Lu & Wang (2005)
the
New Zealand
Ophryops
White
should be removed from
Phlyctaenodini
to
Callidiopini
as
Ophryops
has long non-spinose antennae and sunken antennal insertions, with an internal articulation point, as are found in the
Callidiopini
.
