1 Antenna clavate, female (Figures 15–20).................................................................. 2
- Antenna filiform, male (Figures 21–26)................................................................... 4
2 Metascutellum weakly developed, barely visible in dorsal view, not produced as a lamina (Figures 38, 41, 44, 54–55); fore wing with two dark transverse bands (Figures 19, 20, 58–66); horn of T1 sculptured (Figures 44, 54–55); T2 with a different sculpture to T3 (Figures 54–55); malar sulcus present but weak; gena with very fine and superficial fanlike striae; netrion open, (Figure 41) broad, triangular.............................................................. C. elegans (Masi)
- Metascutellum produced as a lamina, weakly sclerotized, sometimes almost transparent, vertical, or almost vertical, covering apex of horn of T1 (Figures 36–37, 40, 42, 43, 45, 46); fore wing with two dark transverse bands, or without dark transverse bands, almost transparent; horn of T1 sculptured or smooth and lustrous (Figures 36–37, 40, 42–43, 45–46, 53); T2 with the same or with a different sculpture to T3; malar sulcus deeply incised; gena with conspicuous fan like striae............. 3
3 T2 and T3 with the same imbricate-reticulate sculpture (some longitudinal striae only at base of T2) (Figures 15, 53); metanotal lamina semicircular to subtriangular (Figures 15, 36, 42, 46, 53), vertical; netrion open (Figures 16, 39); fore wings with two dark bands (Figures 1516); horn of T1 smooth and lustrous; female with head and mesosoma black; metasoma browndark, slightly lighter at apices of tergites (Figures 15–16)......... Calotelea carbonaria Popovici, Masner & Notton n. sp.
- T2 with sculpture different from that of T3; metanotal lamina rectangular, conspicuous, vertical (Figures 17, 37, 40, 43, 45); netrion narrow, barely open (Figures 18, 40); fore wings transparent (Figures 17–18); horn of T1 coriaceous to smooth; female pale (Figures 1–18, 56–57)......................................... Calotelea laminata Masner & Popovici n. sp.
4 T2 and T3 both with imbricate-reticulate sculpture (some longitudinal striae only in basal 1/5 of T2); A3 almost as long as A4 and A5 (Figure 31); LA5 1.3 time LA6; lateral propodeal areas smooth and lustrous (Figures 21, 47); basal ring short, aedeagovolsellar shaft at least 2 times longer than basal ring; digitus volsellaris with 3 subequal teeth (Figure 2)........................................................................ Calotelea carbonaria Popovici, Masner & Notton n. sp.
- T2 with conspicuous longitudinal striae; basal ring well developed, no more than 1.4 times shorter than aedeago-volsellar shaft, or longer that aedeago-volsellar shaft (Figures 4–5)..................................................... 5
5 Metascutellum well developed, produced as a conspicuous horizontal rectangular lamina (Figures 23, 48) (well visible especially in lateral view (Figures 24, 51)), almost 0.4–0.5 as long as the scutellum; lateral propodeal area rugose (Figure 48); LA3
shorter than LA4 (LA3, 0.8 times LA4). LA4 equal with LA5. LA5, 1.2 times LA6 (figure 33); basal ring well developed, 1.4 times longer that aedeago-volsellar shaft (Figure 4); digitus volsellaris with five subequal teeth (Figure 6)............................................................................... Calotelea laminata Masner & Popovici n. sp. - Metascutellum not developed, without a metanotal lamina (Figures 49, 52); lateral propodeal area sculptured; LA3 equal to LA5 and shorter than LA4 (LA3, 0.8 times LA4). LA5, 1.2 times LA6 (Figure 35); basal ring developed, but shorter than aedeago-volsellar shaft (length of aedeago-volsellar shaft 1.2–1.3 times length of basal ring) (Figure 5); digitus volsellaris with 3 teeth, the distal tooth much larger than the rest and apically dilated (Figure 7)................ Calotelea elegans (Masi)
