There is no nomenclatorally valid concept of Telmatoscopini in the literature - the "official" name these days is Paramormiini, with Mormiini as a nomenclatorally valid alternative. For generic identification, check if it has sausage-shaped white outgrowths on the back of the head -- if it has, it is Panimerus or Jungiella. If not, it is probably Seoda or Parajungiella. Telmatoscopus is already ruled out because R5 ends in the wing apex.
