Eusthenes
Laporte, 1833 
Comments : Euthenes seems to
me as one of the two most difficult genera of Tessartatomidae. A lot of
species have been described, often with very short discussion, if at
all, and it appears that is a great intraspecific variation. Yang has
documented this variation for chinese Eusthenes
in his paper about chinese Tessaratomidae (Yang We-I, 1935 - Notes on
the Chinese Tessaratominae with description of an exotic species -
Bulletin of Fan memorial institure of Biology, 6(3): 103-144, 5 pls)
No complete key of the genus exist, and even the partial ones are
delusive. So the names given to the species of Eusthenes on this site
should not be taken for granted, they are just temptative. To begin we
will just display a couple of Eusthenes from China, at first identified
as E. saevus Stål, but retrograded to E. sp. after comparison to
the pictures of the type displayed on the site the Stockholm
Museum
