Key to subgenera of
Gonatocerus
(both sexes)
1 Pronotum with lateral lobes usually widely separated by lightly sclerotized median area but, if not divided into lobes (i.e. entire), the pronotum very short and not visible in dorsal view, the head thus closely appressed to mesoscutum; dorsellum more or less strap-shaped ............................................................................................................................ 2
- Pronotum with lateral lobes abutting medially, exceptionally with lobes widely separated by distinct median area [in

(Ogloblin)
] or, if entire [

2(1) Dorsellum with posterior margin straight (
