Diagnosis
Body length: 20.0– 32 mm, compressed. Head strongly excavated (♂) or shallowly depressed (♀) medial longitudinally; frontal carina entirely absent; antennal sockets strongly protruding; mandible protruding and strongly incurved; eye bulbus and protruding. Antenna often reach beyond middle parts of body, with 11 or 12 antennmeres, antennae (♂) laminate from 3rd antennmere (excluding apical antennmere) to rarely compressed and dentate or subserrate, which serrate in ♀. Pronotum not wider than elytra. Elytra attenuated, each with a spine at apex. Prosternal sutures narrow, open anteriorly; anterior lobe of prosternum normally arcuate anteriorly. Prosternal process elongate and flat. Mesosternum and metasternum distinct, joined by a definite suture. Mesocoxae open to mesepimeron and mesepisternum. Scutellar shield often shieldshaped, seldom cordate. Metacoxal plate narrowed laterally, broadened inside; tarse simple, without lobes but 3rd and 4th segments may feebly dilated; claws simple, without setae ( Hope 1842; Fleutiaux 1947; Kishii 1987; Jiang and Wang 1999).
Distribution
China, India, Japan, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand and Vietnam.
Remarks
Pectocera morphologically resembles Ceropectus Fleutiaux, 1927 , but can be easily distinguished from it by the obvious suture of meso- and metasoma between mid coxae.
