The Eulichas funebris species group

The E. funebris species group is characterised by the long and slender phallobase, which is distinctly longer than the parameres, and by the long basal parameral apophysis. In addition, most of the species (except for the E. mediocris species complex) have the pronotum largely transverse with sides almost regularly rounded, at least in the basal half; the last maxillary palpomere expanded and nearly as wide as long; last antennomere widened (except E. tenuicornis ), usually trapezoidal or drop shaped, in male with numerous small tubercles on its inner side.

The group contains 16 species, mainly distributed in continental south-eastern Asia – only three species reach the border with the Palaearctic region in north-eastern India, and southern China respectively, and two species occur in Sumatra and the surrounding small Islands (Belitung, Nias, Siberut).
