Key to species of Auxentius
1 Lateral angles of pronotum subacute, not extending much beyond wing base; much of body and legs black ( Fig. 6C View FIGURE 6 ); pronotum of males not humpbacked............................ A. nigriculus sp. nov.
– Lateral angles of pronotum very acute to spinose, extending clearly beyond wing base; body with black maculation but legs never totally black; pronotum of males swollen and humpbacked.............. 2
2 Profemora with dorsal row of 4+ well-developed stout barbs ( Fig. 7A View FIGURE 7 )....... A. clandestinus sp. nov.
– Profemora unarmed or with only two distal short hair-tipped barbs on dorsal surface ( Fig. 7B, C View FIGURE 7 )..... 3
3 Evaporative area distinctly concave; this accentuated by episternal ridge distinctly carinate, carina laterally flanged; peritreme longer than half the distance between ostiole of metathoracic scent gland and episternal ridge, distal portion raised well above evaporative area.................. A. integer Horváth
