Key to the world genera in the
Hylastini
1 Procoxae widely separated; elytral scale-like setae absent; elytral sides broadening posteriorly.......
Scierus
LeConte, 1876
- Procoxae subcontiguous; elytral scale-like setae present; elytral sides nearly parallel............................... 2
2 Surface of elytral disc densely covered by cup-shaped setae; odd numbered interstriae distinctly costate, especially at declivity; pronotal disc surface between large punctures abundantly, minutely punctate (
Fig. 4
a); anterior margin of mesoventrite pointed, distinctly extending anteriorly (
Fig. 2
a)........................................
Pachysquamus
new genus
- Surface of elytral disc sparsely or densely covered by recumbent, hair-like setae; odd numbered interstriae evenly convex; pronotal disc surface between large punctures impunctate or with medium-sized punctures; anterior margin of mesoventrite slightly rounded or straight, extending anteriorly slightly or not (
Figs. 2
b, c)....................................... 3
3 Third tarsal segment 1.3–1.7× width of second, fifth broadening apically (
Fig. 1
a); pronotal disc with equal or greater number of smaller than larger punctures (
Fig. 4
c); prothorax averaging as long as wide (0.9–1.1); mid-frontal transverse impression usually distinct, without inflated area below (

Hylurgops
LeConte, 1876
- Third tarsal segment 1.0–1.1× width of second, fifth not broadening apically (
Fig.1
b); pronotal disc lacking or with lesser number of smaller than larger punctures (
Fig. 4
b); prothorax averaging 1.2× longer than wide [1.0 (in

) to 1.3×]; mid-frontal transverse impression absent or indistinct, if present, inflated area below (
