1 Fastigium frontis triangular, dorso-vertically, produced usually not contacting with fastigium verticis.....2
- Fastigium frontis horizontally produced, usually nearly contacting with fastigium verticis......................11
2 Pronotum with indication of lateral carinae..................................................................................................3
- Pronotum without traces of lateral carinae...................................................................................................5
3 Pronotum without lateral carinae in prozona, and with distinct diverging lateral carinae in metazona (Figs. 3, 14–15). Anterior coxae armed with a large spine. Male subgenital plate with styli as long as half of the subgenital plate (Fig. 17). Female unknown. (China) ............................................... Semicarinata gen. nov.
- Pronotum with distinct smooth lateral carinae thoroughout. Anterior coxae and male subgenital plate not as above 4
4 Tegmina translucent. Male subgenital plate with styli half as long as subgenital plate. Female ovipositor usually longer than length of pronotum. (Oriental Region) ..................................... Isopsera Brunner, 1878
- Tegmina thick, not translucent. Male subgenital plate with styli shorter than third of length of subgenital plate. Female ovipositor shorter than length of pronotum. (India, Bhutan, China)........................................ ............................................................................................................................ Khaoyaiana Ingrisch, 1990
5 Male subgenital plate with styli....................................................................................................................6
- Male subgenital plate without distinct styli..................................................................................................7
6 Fastigium verticis as wide or wider than first segment of antenna. Tegmina narrow and long, with both margins sub-parallel. Greatest width of female ovipositor much less than 3 mm (Fig. 29). (India, China) .. .......................................................................................................... Indogneta Ingrisch & Shishodia, 2000
- Fastigium verticis narrower than the first segment of antenna (Figs. 31–32). Tegmina widened in the middle (Fig. 37). Greatest width of female ovipositor more than 3 mm (Fig. 41). (China). Qinlingea gen. nov.
7 Pronotum with distinct deep humeral notches. Anterior tibiae abruptly narrowed from tympana; without dorsal spines..................................................................................................................................................8
- Pronotum with moderately deep or shallow humeral notches. Anterior tibiae gradually narrowed from the tympana; with dorsal spines. (Palaearctic, Oriental Region, Ethiopian Regions)...........................Ducetiini

- Tegmina rather narrow, less than 1.5 times wider than the length of pronotum; tegminal stridulatory area with apical half of arcuate posterior margin straight. Male subgenital plate rather elongate, split from base and strongly upcurved; widest at base, then gradually sharpened apicad without pseudo-styli (Figs. 4749).

10 Male ninth abdominal tergum arcuately produced posteriorly, more or less covering abdominal apex. Male tenth abdominal tergum fused with epiproct forming a large and highly modified supra-anal plate of varying shape; Male subgenital plate divided almost from base; lobes diverging and strongly bowed dorsad or anterior-dorsad. (Oriental Region) .................................................................... Letana Walker, 1869
- Male ninth and tenth abdominal terga normal. Male epiproct short and emarginated. Male subgenital plate mostly divided from middle, with lobes diverging and slightly bowed dorsad. (India, Srilanka, China)...... ................................................................................................................................ Himertula Uvarov, 1940
11 Pronotum with sharp, finely denticulate lateral carinae. Pronotal lateral lobe deeper than long; humeral notch distinct. Tegmina large, three times wider than the length of pronotum (Sumatera, Thailand, China)
............................................................................................................................. Baryprostha Karsch, 1891 - Pronotum with different lateral margins. Pronotal lateral lobe longer than high; humeral notch indistinct. Shape of tegmen not as above....................................................................................................................12 12 Pronotal disc not produced posteriorly; anterior and posterior margins equal in width; pronotum and leg with thorn-like spines. (Vietnam, Java, China) ....................................................Trachyzulpha Dohrn, 1892
