Remarks.

Dodecatoma currently contains eight described species from Afghanistan, India, Nepal, Indonesia, and the Philippines. This genus is in need of revision; taxa from Southeast Asia should be removed from Dodecatoma , and the generic assignment of the species with serrate antennae described recently by Kazantsev (2012) needs careful re-examination (the remaining species of Dodecatoma , including the type species, have pectinate antennae).
