Genus: Delilah

• Description: Elongate-ovate, robust, moderate to large-sized, ranging from about 16–22 mm in length. Integument generally dark brown with whitish, brownish, and ochraceous pubescence. Head with frons elongate, about as wide as width of 1 1/2 to two lower eye lobes. Eyes with lower lobes large, oblong. Genae elongate, about as tall to distinctly taller than lower eye lobes. Antennal tubercles prominent, narrowly separated, contiguous at base; tubercles not armed at apex (females) or armed with a small projection, or with a short, blunt horn (males); antennae about as long as overall body length (females), or as much as twice as long (males); scape clavate, about as long or longer than antennomere IV; antennomere III nearly straight or curved, longer than scape and antennomere IV; antennomere XI shorter than X (females) or longer than X (males). Pronotum transverse, conical, wider at base, without lateral tubercles. Elytra with sides attenuate; elytral apices individually rounded; elytra generally uniform in coloration or speckled, or with distinct maculae; base of elytra with four prominent, triangular, smooth tubercles at humeri. Basal 1/3 of elytra moderate to dense punctation, surface coarsely punctate to granulate-punctate. Procoxae without projection (females) or with distinct, curved hook (males). Mesosternal process with apex feebly to deeply emarginate. Metafemora moderate in length, about 1/3 as long as elytra.


• The combination of the following characters will help to distinguish this genus: large eyes; conical pronotum; base of elytra with four prominent, triangular, smooth tubercles at humeri; and elytra with sides attenuate.
