KEYS BY ELEODESTHERMOPOLIS
These are keys that I have created, my goal is to eventually cover the entire range and (the majority of) species of Amphidorini, although Mexico will likely take many years for revisions to be created for me to be able to create an adequate key.
A Key to the Eleodes Species of the United States and Canada
A Key to the Amphidorini Species of Southern California
A Key to the Amphidorini Species of the Northeastern Great Plains
A Key to the Amphidorini Species of Colorado
KEYS BY SCIENTISTS
These are keys created by scientists, most are free to access but some are placed behind a paywall.
Key to the species of Blapylis
Access to this key is blocked by a paywall. This key is technically up-to-date, albeit all of the species are ex. Eleodes cordata instead of Blapylis cordata. This heavily relies on the male parameres and may be difficult to use.
Key to the Eleodes species of the Baja California peninsula
This key is not accessible for free. This is a fairly easy to use key, and is up to date except for the Steneleodes and Blapylis species being included in Eleodes, but more importantly the extent of mexicana, those mexicana with key caudate elytra and convex intervals (this form appears to be common in the cape region, which may indicate that Triplehorn never saw specimens from this region, the map for mexicana does not show any points in the caoe region) will be keyed to eschscholtzii, these two species are distinguished in Baja California by female eschscholtzii having a more narrow pronotum, and male eschscholtzii having a very long cauda.
