description: Subfamily Plusiocampinae Paclt, 1957
Plusiocampinae Paclt, 1957: 42.
Diagnosis (Condé 1955a; Paclt 1957; Sendra et al. 2017a)
Since the only diagnostic character of Plusiocampinae (as suggested by Paclt 1957) is the higher number of macrosetae on the pronotum, this taxon seems to be paraphyletic. The pronotum never has less than 4+4 macrosetae. However, many of the genera can be considered monophyletic within Plusiocampinae. This is the case for Anisuracampa, Cestocampa, Condeicampa, Hystrichocampa, Patrizicampa, Plusiocampa, Plutocampa, Simlacampa and Vandelicampa, characterized by pretarsal lateral crests. Nonetheless, these lateral crests are absent in Silvestricampa and Turkmenocampa, clearly isolating them from the other genera.
Key to the genera of Plusiocampinae
1. Pretarsal claws with lateral crests....................................................................................................2
– Pretarsal claws without lateral crests...............................................................................................7
2. Pretarsal lateral processes setiform...................................................................................................3
– Pretarsal lateral processes laminar barbed or absent.......................................................................5
3. Pretarsal lateral processes pubescent ................................................. Hystrichocampa Condé, 1948
– Pretarsal lateral process smooth.......................................................................................................4
4. 4+4 macrosetae on urosternites II–VII, 1+1 macrosetae on urosternite VIII ..................................... .............. Condeicampa Ferguson, 1996 and Plusiocampa (Dydimocampa) sinensis Silvestri, 1931
– No less than 5+5 macrosetae on urosternites II–VII and 2+2 macrosetae on urosternite VIII ........ ................................................................................................................ Plusiocampa Silvestri, 1912
5. Pretarsal lateral processes absent ........................................................ Plutocampa Chevrizov, 1978
– Pretarsal lateral processes laminar barbed.......................................................................................6
6. Pretarsal lateral processes laminar ......................................................... Cestocampa Condé, 1955, Vandelicampa Condé, 1955, Patrizicampa Condé, 1956, Anisuracampa Xie & Yang, 1991, Plusiocampa (Didymocampa) lipsae Condé, 1993 and Plusiocampa kashiensis (Chou & Tong, 1980)
– Pretarsal lateral processes narrow ............................................................ Simlacampa Condé, 1956
7. Simple claws; pretarsal lateral processes absent, medial-intermediate and lateral-intermediate macrosetae on mesonotum and metanotum ........................................... Silvestricampa Condé, 1950
– Pretarsal claws with sharp side-shoot; pretarsal lateral processes laminar, without medial posterior macrosetae on mesonotum and metanotum ........................ Turkmenocampa Sendra & Stoev, 2017
This key includes 11 accepted genera plus three species, Plusiocampa (Dydimocampa) sinensis, Plusiocampa (Dydimocampa) lipsae and Plusiocampa kashiensis from China, which remain in an uncertain position (Sendra et al. 2012a). Three new troglomorphic genera from China, Indochina and the Aegean islands, which are currently under description (Sendra, in prep.), are excluded.
