description: Genus Anacharis Dalman, 1823
Key to the Palearctic and Indomalayan species of genus Anacharis
1. Notauli tenuous, almost entirely effaced in the anterior region of the mesoscutum, sometimes internally carinate (Figs 2C, 4D); petiole as long as metacoxa (Fig. 4F) ......................................... 2
– Notauli excavated along their entire extension, and internally carinate; petiole longer than metacoxa ........................................................................................................................................... 3
2. Scutellum surface smooth to areolate, but never with small cells (Fig. 2C, E), median mesoscutal furrow absent, apex of scutellum with prominent tooth (Fig. 2F) ............. A. immunis Walker, 1835
– Scutellum surface strongly areolate and covered with small cells (Fig. 4D), median mesoscutal furrow short and weakly excavated but always present, apex of scutellum without a tooth (Fig. 4E) ............................................................................................................ A. norvegica sp. nov.
3. Parascutal sulcus absent; in some cases a coarse band surrounding the mesoscutum is present instead (Figs 1B, 2D) .................................................................................................................................... 4
– Parascutal sulcus present, internally carinate, and completely surrounding the mesoscutum (Figs 1D, 3B, 4B) .............................................................................................................................................. 5
4. Mesoscutum completely smooth without any carinate sculpture; scutellum also smooth, with a short, median scutellar carinae at the apex of the scutellum; notauli strongly carinate (Fig. 1B) ................................................................................................... A. antennata Belizin, 1951
– Mesoscutum with some weak carinae at the edges of the notauli, extended to comprise the whole anterior region in some specimens; scutellum alutaceous, without short median scutellar carinae at the posterior margin of the scutellum; notauli not always carinate; if carinae are present, they are weak (Fig. 2A–B) ............................................................................ A. eucharoides (Dalman, 1818)
5. Pronotum smooth except for some short basal carinae (Fig. 4B) .................... A. fergussoni sp. nov.
– Pronotum surface completely covered by strong carinate sculpture (Figs 1B, 3B) ......................... 6
6. Scutellum strongly areolate (Fig. 1C), with only two basal parallel carinae; pronotum surface is covered by strong and irregular coarse sculpture (Fig. 1D) ................ A. parapsidalis Belizin, 1951
– Scutellum smooth with a short median scutellar carinae at the apex of the scutellum (Fig. 3C); pronotum surface crossed by oblique parallel carinae (Fig. 3B) .......................... A. belizini sp. nov.
