Diagnostic Notes This genus resides in the subfamily Bostrichinae which is defined by: - First tarsal segment shorter than second and third also shorter than second - Anterior margin of pronotum truncate, concave or deeply emarginate - Lateral teeth more prominent than median teeth. The genus _Heterobostrychus_ is defined by: - Body length: 5.0-16.0mm - Head capsule not deeply and transversely constricted behind eyes - Gena without a large tooth or lobe below each eye - Antennal club segments with two unmargined and indistinct nearly circular sensory areas - Pronotum excavated behind the middle of the anterior margin. There are 5 known species in _Heterobostrychus_: _H. aequalis, H. brunneus, H. hamatipennis, H. pileatus_ and _H. unicornis_. Females differ from males as: pronotum smaller, teeth on anterior apical border of pronotum shorter; apical declivity of elytra without marginal tubercles. _Heterobostrychus pileatus_ is characterised by: - Body length: 9.0-11.0mm - Apical declivity and elytra bare - Pronotum with posterior angles rounded - Frons with a distinct hairy gibbosity - Pronotum middle of basal half not punctured (females) or densely punctured (males) - Second segment of hind tarsus subequal to the last segment Males: - Pronotum noticeably longer than wide and produced anteriorly - Body stout Females: - Apex of elytral suture with distinct indentation - Frons with transverse diameter of the hairy gibbosity more than one-third of the distance between the eyes.
