Diagnosis. Diagnostic features of Pachyanthidium are the lamellate omaulus; carinate to lamellate preoccipital margin; gently outcurved subantennal suture; short, stout multi-dentate mandible; closed scutal-scutellar suture; and lamellate scutellum that extends posteriorly beyond the metanotum.
Subgenera can be recognized as follows: Ausanthidium has naked eyes and arolia present on all legs; it is monotypic and Afrotropical. Trichanthidium has hairy eyes, no arolia, lateral spines on T3–T5 and a ventral, longitudinal carina on the mid femora. It comprises four Afrotropical species. Trichanthidiodes also has hairy eyes and no arolia, but does not have spines on T3–T5 or a carina on the mid femora. It is monotypic and Afrotropical. Pachyanthidium s. str. has eyes that lack hairs and no arolia. There are ten Afrotropical species.
