6 Labrum with anterior margin emarginate. Elytra (from apex of scutellum) at least as long as pronotum Syntomium Labrum with anterior margin broadly convex; elytra (from apex of scutellum) distinctly shorter than pronotum (Fig. 109) Mitosynum I Reduced second sternite with a very short, immobile membranous connection to third sternite (hence only 6 complete sterna can be counted) (Coprophilini) Well developed second sternite articulated to third by a long connecting membrane (hence 7 complete sterna can be counted) 10 8 Gular sulci separated along entire length (Figs 26-27) Coprophilus - Gular sulci confluent anteriorly 9 9 Epistomal sulcus present (Fig. 110) Coprostygnus - Epistomal sulcus absent Homalotrichus 10 Eyes extending onto ventral portion of head (Planeustomini) (Fig. 26) 11 - Eyes not extending onto ventral portion of head 12 II Five distinct tarsomeres. Brick-wall pattern in intersegmental membrane Manda Four tarsomeres with additional non-setose pseudoarticle (Fig. 56), brickwall pattern in intersegmental membrane absent Planeustomus 12 Antennae geniculate (flexing posteriorly) (Blediini) 13 - Antennae not geniculate (Oxytelini) 14 13 Setation behind the front of labrum hyperdeveloped so that the lateral setae reach well beyond four times the length of labrum (Fig. 111) Eppelsheimius - Setation behind the front of labrum is well developed but not reach beyond four times the length of labrum Bledius 14 Tarsomeres five 15 - Tarsomeres less than five 25 15 Elytra long, almost entirely covering abdomen Sartallus - Elytra short, abdomen almost fully visible 16
