Ventral view of the left antenna, which is about 7 mm long if straightened out. I can see 10 segments, a family characteristic. Distinctive details of antennae:
- antennae in this family have a 3-segmented club
- lamellae (plate-like segments) cannot be closed, like those of the Scarabaeidae and related families, resembling antennae of stag beetles, Lucanidae
- antennae are not elbowed (geniculate) like those of the Lucanidae, but there is a slight bend
