“…However, it seems obvious that the elytra are not distinctly striate. Within Eustrophinae, members of Holostrophini also share this non-striate condition, whereas most members of Eustrophini have distinctly impressed elytral striae (Pollock 2008).…”

“…The antennae of S. idinineteena are unique among eustrophines, in that they are not clubbed, and that antennomeres 4-10 are distinctly triangular, and very similar in structure to each other. Adults of extant species possess antennae that range from slightly to distinctly clubbed (Nikitsky 1998;Pollock 2008Pollock , 2012; no phylogenetic analysis has been done for the Eustrophinae, or the Tetratomidae, but perhaps the clubbed antenna represent an apomorphic state.…”

“…is probably a Platydema .” Pollock (2008) mentioned that no other reference to Say being the author of this species could be found, and in fact, Say himself (1826) considered Fabricius to be the correct author.…”
