Body length: 6–18mm.
Eyes: eye interommatidial setaeseta:
a sclerotized hair-like projection of the cuticle
present, eye deeply emarginateemarginate:
notched at the margin
> half width, eye ommatidial density coarse.
AntennaeAntenna:
in larval and adult insects, paired segmented appendages, borne one on each side of the head, functioning as sense organs and bearing a large number of sensilla
: antennal length reaches between basebase:
the part of any appendage or structure that is nearest the body
and end of elytraelytron:
the leathery forewing of beetles, serving as a covering for the hind wings, commonly meeting opposite elytron in a straight line down the middle of the dorsum in repose
or reaching/surpassing end of body, antennal flagellar segments elongateelongate:
much longer than wide
, scapescape:
the first proximal segment of the antenna
smooth/punctate at apexapex:
end of any structure distad to the base
, antennal scapescape:
the first proximal segment of the antenna
≥ segment 3.
Pronotumpronotum:
the upper and dorsal part of the prothorax
: pronotumpronotum:
the upper and dorsal part of the prothorax
shape transversetransverse:
broader than long
or subquadratesubquadrate:
not quite a square
, pronotumpronotum:
the upper and dorsal part of the prothorax
lateral armature absent.
Prosternum: prosternal process dilated at apexapex:
end of any structure distad to the base
, procoxal cavities open posteriorly.
ElytraElytron:
the leathery forewing of beetles, serving as a covering for the hind wings, commonly meeting opposite elytron in a straight line down the middle of the dorsum in repose
: elytral length reaching or close to end of abdomen, elytral apicesapex:
end of any structure distad to the base
rounded or truncatetruncate:
cut off squarely at the tip
or with tooth or spinespine:
a protuberance with an acute (sharp) distal end
, elytral color black, brown, yellow, reddish, or orange, elytral color pattern present or absent.
Legs: visible tarsomeres: 4, femora clavateclavate:
thickening gradually toward the tip
, protibial spurs: 2, tarsal claws simple.
Trinophylum, Stenygrinum, Stenodryas, Oebarina
Distinguished from other similar members of tribe Callidiopini by antennomereantennomere:
a subunit of the antenna, including the scape, pedicel, and flagellomeres
3 longer or = to scapescape:
the first proximal segment of the antenna
, antennomereantennomere:
a subunit of the antenna, including the scape, pedicel, and flagellomeres
4 < scapescape:
the first proximal segment of the antenna
, and pronotumpronotum:
the upper and dorsal part of the prothorax
subquadrate often with spots of dense setaeseta:
a sclerotized hair-like projection of the cuticle
. Oebarina has a heavily punctatepunctate:
set with fine, impressed points or punctures appearing as pin-pricks
pronotumpronotum:
the upper and dorsal part of the prothorax
and femora more slender. Similar looking Hesperophanini species have slender femora.
