Aristaenetus Distant, 1901

The genus contained two species until now, A. diffinis (Walker, 1872) and A. similis Woodward et O'Donnell, 1988, both known from Australia. WOODWARD and O'DONNELL (1988) redescribed the genus in detail, therefore we will not repeat it, some additions and changes follow here.

Midline of head with micropunctures or transverse wrinkles. Clypeus convex in lateral view, always transversely rugose. Eyes without visible setae. Head diverging anteriad of eyes to antennal junction.

Anterior lobe of pronotum with sparse punctures, finer than on posterior lobe, anterolateral trichobothria sometimes absent. Sternum with impunctate, sparsely and densely punctate areas as well. Evaporative area extending on mesopleuron, forming a triangle, and as narrow line, extended to dorsal margin of metapleuron.
