The characters varying between the species and therefore useful for identification are often quite variable even intraspecifically, which makes the identification rather difficult in many cases. Therefore, diagnostic characters are briefly commented here to make the understanding of their importance and pitfalls easier to the reader.

. General habitus and the coloration of dorsal side are rather reliable for the identification, but their using usually requires some experience and/or comparison with correctly identified specimens. Shape of the elytra varies to variable extent between male and female of the same species in most taxa, which may be confusing when body shape is used as a diagnostic criterion. Shape of the elytra in females may moreover vary even within a single species, with shoulders being more or less pronounced (the highest variation in this aspect was observed in
