The Scutum haS Short and fIne haIrS, the poSterIor pronotum IS bare and the Scutellum IS Shortly haIred wIth longer margInal brIStleS. The tIbIal organ IS moStly horSeShoe-lIke bordered, the tIbIa SpurS are equal and long, the clawS are wIthout teeth. The ventral baSe of the hypopygIum IS Shaped v-lIke and wIthout a baSal lobe. The ventral Inner margIn of the gonocoXIteS wIth Short haIrS. The gonoStyluS IS of dIfferent Shape, prolonged or Shortly oval.

About 60 SpecIeS of
Keilbachia
are known SInce the deScrIptIon of the genuS by MohrIg In
MohrIg & MartenS (1987)
. ItS center of radIatIon appearS to be the OrIental regIon, baSed on the number of SpecIeS deScrIbed So far (VIlkamaa
et al
