1. Tarsal claws reduced, straight or only weakly curved ( Figs 1G–I View FIGURE 1 , 2I–L View FIGURE 2 ). Hypomera convex or weakly excavated anteriorly ( Figs 1D View FIGURE 1 , 2F View FIGURE 2 ). Head lacking transverse carina................................................................... 2
- Tarsal claws large, strongly curved, falciform or angulate; if only weakly developed, then either hypomera deeply excavated anteriorly or head with transverse carina or both............ other Deltochilini View in CoL genera (see Vaz-de-Mello et al. 2011, 2020)
2. Protibiae short, with lateral teeth large and contiguous. Metatibial spur spiniform...................................3
- Protibiae long, with three small and spaced teeth ( Figs 1A–B View FIGURE 1 , 2A–D View FIGURE 2 ). Metatibial spur short, spatulate, with denticle (spiniform process) at least on inner edge ( Figs 1H–I View FIGURE 1 , 2K–L View FIGURE 2 )..................................... Deltepilissus Pereira, 1949 View in CoL ...4
3. Protibiae with lateral teeth set along apical third, at least apical two directed towards apex...... Scatonomus Erichson, 1835 View in CoL
- Protibiae with lateral teeth set along apical half or more; at least second tooth directed laterally..................................................................................................... Anomiopus Westwood, 1842 View in CoL
4. Punctures of central portion of pronotum spaced by at least twice their diameter ( Figs 2A, 2C View FIGURE 2 ). Males with denticle on external edge of protibial spur ( Fig. 2I View FIGURE 2 ). Males with a conspicuous denticle on inner edge of metatibial spur ( Fig. 2K View FIGURE 2 ). Body length 9–11 mm.

Males with wide and rounded protibial spur, without denticle apically ( Fig. 1G View FIGURE 1 ). Males with rounded metatibial spur apically, inner denticle almost inconspicuous ( Fig. 1H View FIGURE 1 ). Body length about 15 mm.
