Key to the genera
Females
1. Inner side of enlarged claw with one row of at least four bristles (Plate 52H)................2. Burmanteon Engel (fossil)
- Inner side of enlarged claw with only one–two bristles or peg-like hairs located proximally (Plates 17C, 56C, 60B)....... 2
2. Inner side of enlarged claw with proximal prominence not bearing bristles (Plates 54B, 56C, 57D), with one–two short bristles or peg-like hairs located further distally than proximal prominence (Plates 54B, 56C, 57D)...... 3. Deinodryinus R. Perkins
- Inner side of enlarged claw with proximal prominence bearing one long bristle (Plates 17C, 60B)..................... 3
3. Fore wing with distal part of stigmal vein as long as, or longer than proximal part (Plates 59A, 62A); occasionally distal part of stigmal vein slightly shorter than proximal part, but then propodeum without strong transverse keel between dorsal and posterior surface.......................................................................4. Lonchodryinus Kieffer
- Fore wing with distal part of stigmal vein much shorter than proximal part (Plate 28D); occasionally distal part of stigmal vein slightly shorter than proximal part, but then propodeum with strong transverse keel between dorsal and posterior surface............................................................................................ 1. Anteon Jurine
Males (unknown in Burmanteon Engel)

2. Fore wing with distal part of stigmal vein much shorter than proximal part (Plate 43C); occasionally slightly shorter, or as long as, or longer than proximal part, but then propodeum with strong transverse keel between dorsal and posterior surface.............................................................................................. 1.
