description: Key to females of Palaearctic species of Reikosiella (Hirticauda)
1 Antennal funicle unicolorous, dark brown.................................................................. 2
- Antennal funicle with 4 or 5 white flagellomeres............................................................ 7
2(1) Basal cell bare except along mediocubital fold and darkened base with a few brown setae; body mostly testaceous with darker metasoma except head with a faint greenish lustre, mesoscutum with green and violet lustres under some angles, and scutellum and axillae unicolorous bright yellow..................................................................... 3
- Basal cell uniformly covered with translucent short setae (sometimes only brown setae on darkened base obvious, the rest being translucent and inconspicuous); body differently colored, scutellum and axillae sometimes contrasting in color..... 4
3(2) Scutellum on each side with a tuft of erect, black setae; fore wing infuscate in proximal part of basal and costal cells and beyond base of parastigma except for arched hyaline cross-band with parallel margins extending behind marginal vein to posterior margin, and with infuscation gradually fading beyond postmarginal vein toward apex of wing (Fig. 24); antenna elongate, 1.7× longer than breadth of head, and with F1 up to 2× longer than wide...................... R. cornuta sp. nov.
- Scutellum on each side with a line of 2 or 3 semierect black setae; fore wing with 2 conspicuous infuscate bands (one behind parastigma and basal half of marginal vein, the other behind stigmal vein and apical quarter of marginal vein) and with slightly
darkened base and apex (Fig. 19); antenna shorter, 1.4× longer than breadth of head, and with F1 subquadrate........................................................................................ R. bolivari (Kalina) comb. nov. 4(2) Scutellum metallic with blue, green or coppery lustres, usually contrasting in color with ochraceous axillae............. 5
- Scutellum bright yellow............................................................................... 6
5(4) Scrobal depression above interantennal region smooth and shiny except for fine alutaceous sculpture and strongly alutaceous on upper angles adjacent to orbit; frontovertex similarly shiny except for more evident alutaceous sculpture behind posterior ocelli (Fig. 1); uncus as long as half-length of stigmal vein (Figs 38, 47); ovipositor sheath at most as long as hind tibia.............................................................................. R. rostrata (Ruschka) comb. nov.
- Scrobal depression above interantennal region coriaceous-granular with strong, shiny and smooth granule, and frontovertex conspicuously coriaceous-granular (Fig. 2); uncus slightly shorter than a third length of stigmal vein (Fig. 31); ovipositor sheath 1.4× as long as hind tibia....................................................... R. andriescui sp. nov.
6(4) Scutellum and axillae with black, semierect setae contrasting with yellowish cuticle, the setae on scutellum arranged in a ribcage-like pattern (Fig. 15); body with faint sculpture and mostly yellowish to testaceous; fore wing partly infuscated starting from parastigma and at proximal angle of basal cell, with three darker fuzzy areas—one behind parastigma and extreme base of marginal vein, one behind stigmal vein that hardly extends to median fold, and one distad stigmal vein at anterodistal angle of wing; ovipositor sheath about 5/6 as long as hind tibia and with subapical yellowish ring............ R. graeca sp. nov.
- Setae on scutellum and axillae pale and inconspicuous and axillae darker than the mostly bright yellow scutellum; body with conspicuous reticulate sculpture and largely brown, but with yellowish scutellum and antennal scape; fore wing uniformly infuscate starting from parastigma and at proximal angle of basal cell except for well delimited lighter transverse cross-band behind apical half of marginal vein; ovipositor sheath a little longer than hind tibia and unicolorous brown, only slightly darker toward base and apex.................................................................. R. vanharteni sp. n.
7(1) Antennal funicle with 4 white flagellomeres (F3–F6)........................................................ 8
- Antennal funicle with 5 white flagellomeres............................................................... 9
8(7) Ovipositor sheath slightly longer than hind tibia and almost entirely dark; body mostly dark with head and mesoscutum metallic bluish-green; scutellum dark green, not contrasting with dark brown axillae.................. R. hungarica (Erd õ s)
- Ovipositor sheath shorter, half as long as hind tibia and with pale median ring separating dark brown basal and apical quarters; body with many testaceous areas but head and mesoscutum bright green; scutellum dark green, contrasting with bright yellow axillae........................................................................... R. tripotinorum sp. nov.
9(7) Flagellomeres F3–F7 white; basal cell bare except darkened base with a few brown setae and along mediocubital fold; body mostly testaceous, but with a faint purple-green metallic lustre under some angles on head and mesoscutum; scutellum and axillae bright yellow................................................................... R. koreana sp. nov.
- Flagellomeres F2–F6 white; basal cell sparsely covered with translucent, short setae; body extensively testaceous and brownish, but head and scutellum bright metallic green, mesoscutum with a bright golden-green lustre; scutellum green, contrasting with bright yellow axillae................................................................ R. gordoni sp. nov.
