Following Gerard's suggestion and thanks to the numerous pictures of this Forum, I provide a key to the genus Rhytidodera.
Like other keys, the possibility to insert new pictures or to improve the already written key with distribution and biology will allow having a more and more complete guide... thank to your help! 
So, I suggest you to periodically check this guide, since new updates could have been added.
Generality
Rhytidodera White, 1853 is an Asian genus belonging to the tribe Cerambycini Latreille, 1804.
This genus is characterised by:
interantennal furrow;
cylindrical body;
posterior legs short;
antennae more or less flattened, shorter than body. |

- Rhytidodera integra Kolbe, 1886 a l'apex des élytres arrondi (cf description). L'espèce figurée dans la clef est mal déterminée.
- Rhytidodera concolor Nonfried, 1895 est une espèce du genre Pachylocerus Hope, 1834 (à publier)
- Je pense que Rhytidodera siamica Nonfried, 1892 = Rhytidodera simulans (White, 1853) (à publier) |

Ce genre de petite clé illustrée, très pragmatique, ça fait des outils introuvables.
Bravo Francesco, et merci aux contributions de tous! |

-. (Thailand) ... siamica Nonfried, 1892
Note: I do not know the difference since, apparently, Nonfried did not know R. simulans either (here, p. 378).
In fact, he confronted his new species to R. cristata! Moreover, all other cerambycids described in that paper are actually synonyms. |
