Key to the species of Eucalandra

1 Antennal club ( Figs. 13–14 ) with basal shiny, glabrous portion comprising almost entire length of club, apical pilose portion limited to extreme apex and only clearly visible in distal (apical) view...................2

1’ Antennal club ( Figs. 11–12, 15–16 ) with basal shiny, glabrous portion comprising 0.5–0.8 of length of club, apical pilose portion comprising at least 0.2 length of club and clearly visible in lateral view........3

2 Front femur ( Fig. 21 ) with broad, rounded subapical tooth on inner margin, occluding area on front tibia with short, flat laminate extension from inner margin; pronotum ( Fig. 3 ) with midline with narrow row of yellowish-white broad scales throughout length; lateral margins of pronotum ( Figs. 3–4 ) with similar scales extended in broad row from base to near apex; mesepisternum ( Fig. 4 ) with scales of similar size to those elsewhere on venter ................................................................................................... E. boxi Marshall

2’ Front femur with inner margin simple, occluding area on front tibia simple, not modified; pronotum ( Fig. 5 ) with midline glabrous throughout length (some specimens with few scattered scales at base); lateral margins of pronotum ( Figs. 5–6 ) with broad yellowish-white scales scales arranged in broad row only from base to near midlength; mesepisternum ( Fig. 6 ) with scales larger in size to those elsewhere on venter ...................................................................................................................... E. luteosignata (Blanchard)

3 Pronotum ( Fig. 7 ) deeply, very densely and uniformly punctate; body lacking any broad flat scales; elytra with intervals deeply, densely uniformly punctate; front tibia with subapical tooth similar in size and form to apical tooth ...................................................................................................... E. mexicana (Champion)

3’ Pronotum ( Figs. 1, 9 ) with punctation various but with punctures small and fine or with at least some impunctate areas; body with at least some broad pale scales; elytra with intervals impunctate or with punctures small, shallow and indistinct; front tibia with subapical tooth very small, much shorter than apical large tooth ............................................................................................................................................. 4

4 Tarsi with tarsite 3 with dense fine ventral pilosity limited to area across apical margin; large white flat scales ( Figs. 1–2 ) present on lateral margin of pronotum, mesepimeron, metepisternum, lateral portion of metasternum, elytral intervals 3 and 5 at base and anterior to declivity; inner margin of front tibia distinctly serrate ........................................................................................................... E. setulosa (Gyllenhal)

4’ Tarsi with tarsite 3 with dense fine ventral pilosity covering almost entire apical two-thirds; scale pattern ( Figs. 9–10 ) various, not as above; inner margin of front tibia very finely, indistinctly serrate .................. ...........................................................................................................................................
