Genus: Neotrichus

• Description: Body cylindrical. Antennae 11-segmented with a distinct, 2-segmented club. Antennal setation sparse. Antennomere 3 distinctly elongate (at least twice as long as 4). Subantennal grooves short to absent. Eyes round, well-developed, facets coarse. Pronotum subquadrate, disc with small, raised, dense tubercles. Pronotal lateral margins distinctly serrate, with a mid-lateral secretory pore, difficult to see. Procoxal cavities open. Metacoxae narrowly separated, separation less than metacoxal length. Elytra with striae composed of alternating weak punctures and tubercles. Abdominal ventrites 1-3 fused. Tarsal formula apparently 3-3-3. Dorsal surface with small, bristle-like, erect, golden setae. Body usually encrusted with dirt or debris.

• Similar genus/genera: The genus Neotrichus superficially resembles the genus Endeitoma. The 4-4-4 tarsi, narrower antennal club, abdominal ventrites 1-3 not fused, and distribution readily distinguish Endeitoma.
