sent to Colin Johnson already
besides male parts, the features that are most important in their diagnostics include [i] antennae (esp. shape & relative size of the basal segments); [ii] overall body shape & proportions; and [iii] dorsal punctation/microsculpture/vestiture.
i wish the photos were sharper, but Dr Johnson has immense experience with this subfamily and is nothing short of a miracle worker.
