The two genera can be diagnosed easily by median tooth of mentum, bifid in Physocrotaphus, i.e. Foveocrotaphus gen. n. has simple, narrow and pointed. Is distinguishable from all other known Physocrotaphini genera by narrower pronotum, very stout ligula combined with long and simple median tooth of mentum and by male sternites 2 and 3 with one big shared median depression.
