Key to the Genera of North American (North of
Mexico
)
Anillini
1. Mandibles extremely long and narrow, much longer than head behind the antennal insertions (
Fig. 3
); sides of head behind antennal insertions more-or-less parallel and straight; frontal furrows deep and long, extending to occiput (
Fig. 3
); lateral explanation of elytron very broad in anterior half, abruptly narrowing thereafter (
Fig. 3
); geographic range Sierra
Nevada, California
............
Anillaspis
Casey
– Mandibles shorter and stouter, shorter than head behind the antennal insertions (
Fig. 2
); sides of head behind antennal insertions rounded; frontal furrows shallow and short, extending no more than halfway to occiput (
Fig. 2
); lateral explanation of elytra much narrower and broadest only near the humeri or in the anterior quarter, gradually narrowing until terminating before the apex (
Fig. 2
)............... 2
2. Mentum with a pair of setae near apex of anteromedial tooth; geographic range
California, Oregon
, and
Washington
........................................................................ 3
– If two setae are present on mentum tooth, then they are at base of tooth, well posterior of apex; geographic range eastern
United States
west to
Missouri
and
Texas
.............................. 4
3. Male profemur with a spine on ventrobasal face (
Fig. 4A, C
); male protarsus with tarsomeres 1 and 2 strongly asymmetrically dilated (
Fig. 5
); female genitalia with a field of long bifurcate setae scattered throughout the apical region of laterotergite IX (
Fig. 6
); geographical range Pacific Northwestern United States (
Oregon and Washington
)........................
