Genus: Lobogestoria

• Description: Body cylindrical. Antennae 11-segmented with a distinct, 2-segmented club. Antennal setation sparse. Subantennal grooves absent. Eyes well-developed, round, finely faceted. Pronotal disc with pair of large, forward projecting horns. Pronotum longer than wide, lateral margins parallel-sided. Pronotum with a mid-lateral secretory pore situated in a lateral, longitudinal channel. Procoxal cavities narrowly open. Metacoxae narrowly separated, separation less than metacoxal length. Elytral with 9 rows of evenly spaced, round punctures. Abdominal ventrites 1-3 fused, distinctly convex, ventrite 4 narrow, with transverse groove, ventrite 5 flat. Tarsal formula apparently 3-3-3 (actually 4-4-4, tarsomeres 1 and 2 partially fused). Dorsal surface glabrous.

• Similar genera: The genus Lobogestoria is similar to the genus Antilissus in having an apparently 3-3-3 tarsal formula and grooved pronotum, but Lobogestoria is easily distinguished by the large, horn-like projections of the pronotum extending well over the head.
