Key to species assigned to Gauromaia subgenus Celebesa 1 Body length to maximum width ratio ~ 2.8–2.9; prosternal intercoxal process at posterior extent of procoxal cavity nearly right-angled, step-like shaped in lateral view; elytral striae deep, interstriae convex; elytra elongate, ~ 1.8× as long as combined width.......................................................................... G. (C.) striata comb. nov. – Body length to maximum width ratio 2.6 or less; posterior margin of prosternal intercoxal process at posterior extent of procoxal cavity either declivous, rarely step-like in lateral view; elytral striae flat or moderately deep, interstriae flat or slightly convex; elytra less elongate, ≤1.6× as long as combined width........................................................ 2 2 Mentum each side to median portion with deep posterolateral pit, pit anterior margin raised in ventral aspect......................................................................................... G. (C.) latipennis comb. nov. – Mentum posterolaterally without deep pits, with or without shallow ventral impressions............................. 3 3 Prosternal intercoxal process strongly humped in ventral aspect at posterior extent of procoxa; lateral portions of mentum with two rounded tubercles..........................................................
