Key to Neatus species (males)
1(2) Smaller (11.5–13.5 mm); disc of pronotum finely punctate, larger punctures only on sides ( Fig. 10 View FIGURES 7–17 ); cuticle shiny; small aedeagus (2.5–3.1 mm), with parameres very short and truncated at apex ( Fig. 23 View FIGURES 18–28 ); Rp from 4.03 to 4.60; North American species..................................................................................... tenebrioides
2(1) Larger (13.5–18 mm); disc of pronotum more strongly and tightly punctate, larger punctures more or less numerous and present, very rarely absent ( Figs 7–9, 11–12 View FIGURES 7–17 ); Palearctic species
3(6) Aedeagus proportionally small (Rp from 3.67 to 4.83), either very small and short (L=3.0– 3.2 mm) with acuminate apex ( Fig. 25 View FIGURES 18–28 ), or longer (L= 3.5–4.5 mm) but with parameres strongly truncated at apex ( Figs 21–22 View FIGURES 18–28 )
4(5) Cuticle shiny, punctation of pronotum disc fine, larger punctures few and far between, clearly scattered ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 7–17 ); punctation of elytral interstriae fine and aciculate, barely perceptible; aedeagus very small (Rp from 4.70 to 4.83) and very short (L=3.0– 3.2 mm), with parameres acuminate at apex ( Fig. 25 View FIGURES 18–28 ); Far East Asia.......................................... ventralis
5(4) Cuticle not very shiny, punctation of pronotum disc strong and thick, larger punctures numerous and less scattered ( Fig. 9 View FIGURES 7–17 ); punctation of elytral interstriae quite strong and thick, clearly visible; aedeagus distinctly longer (L= 3.5–4.5 mm) and proportionally larger (Rp from 3.67 to 4.38), with parameres strongly truncated at apex ( Figs 21–22 View FIGURES 18–28 ); from southern Balkans to the Caucasus and Iran.......................................................................... subaequalis
6(3) Aedeagus differently shaped, proportionally larger (Rp 2.75 to 3.96), parameres with more or less tapered apical tips ( Figs 18–20, 24 View FIGURES 18–28 )
7(8) Punctation of pronotum disc finer, larger punctures few and far between or absent ( Fig. 8 View FIGURES 7–17 ); rather slender and subparallel, elytral disc not very convex; aedeagus with sinuate parameres on sides and apex tapering ( Fig. 20 View FIGURES 18–28 ), 3.8 to 4.4 mm long, Rp 3.30 to 3.81; middle Europe.............................................................................. picipes
8(7) Punctation of pronotum disc strong, larger punctures more or less invading the disc ( Figs 7, 11 View FIGURES 7–17 ); more convex, elytral disc even more convex posteriorly; aedeagus with apex less tapered ( Figs 18–19, 24, 28 View FIGURES 18–28 ); southern Europe, from Sicily and Latium in Italy, to Türkiye
9(10) Genae subparallel in front of eyes ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 7–17 ); male protibiae short, their inner margin only barely sinuate ( Fig. 14 View FIGURES 7–17 ); aedeagus shorter (L= 4.2–4.3 mm), proportionally smaller (Rp from 3.37 to 3.96), with parameres narrowed almost in a straight line to apex which is tapered ( Figs 24, 28 View FIGURES 18–28 ), barely sinuate at apex, in profile ( Fig. 27 View FIGURES 18–28 ); southern Türkiye.......... turcicus sp. nov.
10(9) Genae more or less expanded in front of eyes ( Fig. 15 View FIGURES 7–17 ); male protibiae slender, with distinctly sinuate inner margin ( Fig. 13 View FIGURES 7–17 ); aedeagus distinctly longer (L=4.5–6.0 mm), proportionally larger (Rp from 2.75 to 3.33), with sinuate parameres on sides ( Figs 18–19 View FIGURES 18–28 ), clearly sinuate at apex, in profile ( Fig. 26 View FIGURES 18–28 ); from Latium and Sicily in Italy, to northwest Türkiye....... noctivagus
