description: Key to species of the genera of Pterogenia and Neohemigaster of the Eastern Palaearctic and adjoining areas of the Oriental Region
1. Tergite 5 much shorter than tergite 3, absent in female. Cell bm enlarged, usually 1.3–1.5 as long as bcu and 1.25–1.6 times shorter than discal medial cell. Face concave at least in its lower part................ Pterogenia and Neohemigaster ... 2
