Key to species of Xylopertha View in CoL
1. Elytral declivity with a spine on each elytron in both sexes ( Fig. 1E–H View Fig. 1 ) ………………………2 – Elytral declivity without spines in both sexes ( Fig. 1A–D View Fig. 1 ) ……………………………………3
2. Tubercle-like spine with a pointed apex located on the dorso-lateral margin of the declivity of each elytron ( Figs 1E–F View Fig. 1 ; 3B). Male: 8th tergite and genitalia as in Fig. 5C–D View Fig. 5 . Female: last four abdominal ventrites as in Fig. 4C View Fig. 4 ……………………………………… X. praeusta ( Germar, 1817) View in CoL
– Spine located on the middle of upper margin of the declivity of each elytron ( Figs 1G–H View Fig. 1 ; 3D). Male: eighth tergite and genitalia as in Fig. 5G–H View Fig. 5 . Female: last three abdominal ventrites as in Fig. 4D View Fig. 4 ……………………………………………………………… X. reflexicauda ( Lesne, 1937) View in CoL
3. Male: upper margin of elytral declivity without long, erect hairs. The 8th tergite and genitalia as in Fig. 5E–F View Fig. 5 . Female: apex of each elytron projecting as a broad approximately rectangular process, its apex with a small pointed tooth next to the suture, the processes separated by a shallow U-shaped emargination, a broad emargination lateral to each process ( Fig. 3C View Fig. 3 ); 3rd abdominal ventrite projecting medially over 4th, which is visible only at sides; 5th ventrite very deeply, broadly emarginate, base of emargination projecting ventrally as a thin lamina behind process on the 3rd ventrite, concealing middle part of 4th ventrite ( Fig. 4B View Fig. 4 ) ……………… X. elegans sp. nov.
– Male: upper margin of elytral declivity bearing long, erect hairs. The 8th tergite and genitalia as in Fig. 5A–B View Fig. 5 . Female: apex of each elytron strongly emarginate, the emargination filled by a pair of ventrally-directed processes with rounded tips next to suture ( Fig. 3A View Fig. 3 ); 3rd abdominal ventrite not projecting medially over 4th, which is visible across its entire width, base of emargination of 5th ventrite not projecting ventrally as a thin lamina ( Fig. 4A View Fig. 4 ) …… X. retusa ( Olivier, 1790) View in CoL
