1 Body non-metallic; thorax either densely grey pruinose, or yellow-orange with dark longitudinal stripe to mainly black; abdomen either dark grey-brown to partly yellow, or mostly orange yellow with black dorsolateral spots; 6 dorsocentrals with fifth pair strongly offset medially, or 5 dorsocentrals aligned in row; vein M beyond crossvein dm-cu with strong anterior bend and convergent with R4+5 (cf. Fig. 3B); female terminalia with tergite 10 undivided, narrow and acutely V-shaped with acanthophorite spine-like setae encircling apex, tergite 8 sometimes with rod-like apicolateral projections that protrude from the tip of the abdomen...................................................................................... 2
- Body usually metallic; 5–6 (rarely 7) dorsocentrals, aligned or with penultimate pair weakly offset medially; venation variable, M with or without anterior bend; female terminalia with tergite 10 divided medially, not acutely V-shaped, hemitergites broad with transverse row of acanthophorite spine-like setae, tergite 8 lacking rod-like apicolateral projections.................................................................................................... other Dolichopodinae
2 Hind basitarsus with 1 strong dorsal seta (Fig. 3C); male hind tibia with bifurcate posteroapical projection (Fig. 3C); male hind basitarsus without posterobasal projection; male cercus strongly reduced, not longer than surstylus (Figs 1 B, 2B); female tergite 8 without apical projections (Figs 1 E, 1F); face broad in both sexes (Oriental)...............
