Remaudiereana Hoberlandt, 1954

Type species: Remaudiereana tibialis Hoberlandt, 1954

Fauna Portal Genus Number: 1569

(after Harrington 1980): Pachybrachius is a Palearctic genus distinguished from Remaudiereana by two small spines apically on the straight male fore tibia, a small head slightly elongate behind the eyes, faint punctures on the anterior pronotal collar, the posterior margin of the pronotum straight across the base of the scutellum and a sclerotized conjunctival casing in the male genitalia. Remaudiereana, in contrast, is a widespread genus with many species in the Old World tropics that have a large spine midlength on the curving male fore tibia, an impunctate ringlike collar on the anterior pronotal lobe and the posterior margin of the pronotum curving or concave across the base of the scutellum and lack the conjunctival casing of Pachybrachius.
