Identification. Euetheola humilis very similar to E. bidentata but can be distinguished from this and other Eutheola species by the sinuate mandibles, carinate frontoclypeal suture, and smaller and more disperse pronotal punctuation. In males the protarsus is not enlarged, and in females, the elytral margin is not thickened as in E. bidentata .
