The Eulichas dudgeoni species group

The E. dudgeoni species group is characterised by a relatively broad phallobase, which is about the same length or slightly shorter than the parameres, and by the short basal parameral apophysis. In addition, the last antennomere is filiform, rectangular or slightly club shaped, never distinctly widened, its ventral part is smooth; and the last maxillary palpomere is club shaped. The group contains 21 species distributed from Nepal, northern India and southern China, through continental south-eastern Asia, where it reaches its highest diversity, to the Greater Sunda Islands and the Philippines.
