description: Key to species of the European Scorpioteleia   
 1 Petiole at least four times as long as wide (Fig. 1); gastral segment 1 in females compressed posteriorly, with remaining tergites at least partly exposed at rest; antennae slender with preapical flagellomeres at least 2.5 times as long as wide (Fig. 6).  S. longepetiolata group ........................................................................................................................... 2   
 – Petiole short, at most 2.5 times as long as wide (Fig. 3); gastral segment 1 in females abruptly narrowed posteriorly; remaining segments tubular and completely concealed within segment 1 but forming a scorpion-tail-like structure when extruded; antennae with preapical flagellomeres at most twice as long as wide (Fig. 8).  S. compressa group ........................................................................................................................... 3   
 2(1) Mesosoma slender (Fig. 2); subapical flagellomere in females at least three times as long as wide (Fig. 7); F 1 in males very deeply emarginated and strongly convex dorsally (Fig. 12)....................................................................................................... S. nixoni sp. nov.   
 – Mesosoma stouter (Fig 1); subapical flagellomere in females at most 2.5 times as long as wide (Fig. 6); F 1 in males hardly convex dorsally (Fig. 11)........................................... ...............................................................................  S. longepetiolata  (Thomson, 1859).   
 3(1) Macrotergite with fine striation at base between slightly indicated middle furrow and short lateral impressions; pronotal shoulders sharply pointed (Fig. 5)........................... ...................................................................................................  S. cebes  (Nixon, 1957).   
 – Macrotergite smooth at base between medial furrow and lateral impressions; pronotal shoulders angular, not pointed..................................................................................... 4   
 4(2) Body large and stout (5-6 mm) (Fig. 4); antennae of females with even, dense, contiguous pubescence; hairs shorter than half of the width of flagellomeres (Fig. 10); radial cell large, triangular, with stigmal vein slightly oblique (Fig. 20); lateral impressions at base of macrotergite large and deep; apical part of macrosternite bare in females; F 1 in males with basal emargination symmetrical, covering less than half of the flagellomere (Fig. 15)........................................................................................  S. luteipes  (Kieffer, 1910).   
 – Body smaller and slender (3-4.5 mm) (Fig. 3); antennae of females with short, semidecumbent pubescence interspersed with single long erect hairs (Fig. 8); radial cell narrow with strongly oblique stigmal vein (Fig. 18); lateral impressions at base of macrotergite inconspicuous; all surface of macrosternite pubescent in females; F 1 in males with basal emargination asymmetrical, covering more than half of the flagellomere (Fig. 13)...............................................................................................
