description: Key to Oriental genera of the tribe Elampini
We provide an updated key to the Oriental genera of the tribe Elampini after the genus Chrysellampus Semenov, 1932 was reinstated (Rosa et al. 2015c), Holophris Mocsáry here redescribed and Leptopareia gen. nov. here established. The genus Philoctetes Abeille de Perrin is not yet recorded in the Oriental region, but included in the key because some species could be distributed at least in the Oriental part of China.
1. Tarsal claw with one subsidiary tooth..................................................................... 2
- Tarsal claw with more than one subsidiary tooth............................................................. 3
2. Tarsal claw with one perpendicular and submedial tooth; T3 without angular projection..... Hedychridium Abeille de Perrin
- Tarsal claw with one subparallel and subsidiary tooth; T3 usually with two small angular projections... Hedychrum Latreille
3. Fore wing medial cell with setae; vein M strongly curved; T3 without apical notch................... Holopyga Dahlbom
- Fore wing medial cell asetosae; vein M slightly curved; T3 with or without apical notch............................. 4
4. Metanotum produced to form horizontal tongue-like projection, rarely without projection; T3 with apical notch, usually with horseshoe-shaped or falcate rim, rarely without rim; female gena with row of setae.................... Elampus Spinola
- Metanotum rounded (rarely with tongue-like projection, not observed in Oriental species); T3 with or without apical notch, usually without horseshoe-shaped or falcate rim; female gena without row of setae................................. 5
5. Mesoscutum impunctate, at most with wrinkles............................................................. 6
– Mesoscutum with large punctures........................................................................ 8
6. Head with indistinct subgenal area (postgena) (Fig. 3A); gena very narrow under lower margin of eye (Figs 3A, 9A, 11A); MS not bisected by genal carina; genal area not carinate (Fig. 3A); fore wing with pterostigma positioned over half length of anterior margin (Fig. 2A)........................................................ Leptopareia Rosa & Xu, gen. nov.
- Head with distinct subgenal area (Figs 3B, 4A, 5A, 6A); gena broad under lower margin of eye (Fig. 3B); MS bisected by genal carina; genal area and subgenal area carinate; fore wing with pterostigma positioned at less than half length of anterior margin (Fig. 2B), rarely at half length.................................................................... 7
7. Head, in frontal view, with convex upper profile (Figs 4B, 5B, 6B); temples narrow (<1 MOD); mesopleuron subquadrate or trapezoid with distinct double carinate omaulus (Fig. 1B); transpleural carina extending below propodeal angle (Fig. 1B); T3 without notch (Figs 4F, 5F, 6F), with wide semi-transparent rim (> 1 MOD)........................ Holophris Mocsáry
- Head, in frontal view, lenticular (Wei et al. 2014: Figs 2A, 6A); temples broad (> 1 MOD); mesopleuron subrectangular with simple omaulus, sometimes with large punctures resembling double omaulus (Fig. 1A); transpleural carina extending to apex of propodeal angle (Fig. 1A); T3 usually with notch, usually without rim (Wei et al. 2014: Figs 2F, 6F), sometimes with narrow semi-transparent rim (<0.5 MOD), rarely wider................................................. Omalus Panzer
8. MS not bisected by genal carina; metanotum usually elevated or gibbous to mucronate (Rosa et al. 2015d: Fig. 2C)...................................................................................... Philoctetes Abeille de Perrin
- MS bisected by genal carina; metanotum evenly rounded..................................................... 9
9. Mesoscutum with large punctures mostly concentrated posteromedially between notauli; mesopleuron with ventral margin strongly projecting; head and mesosoma with polished intervals between punctures; T3 apical notch without spine or tooth at its sides........................................................................... Pseudomalus Ashmead
- Mesoscutum with large punctures evenly distributed (Rosa et al. 2015c: Fig. 4C) (concentrated along notauli in two Palaearctic species); mesopleuron with ventral margin extending at an oblique angle (Rosa et al. 2015c: Fig. 3); head and mesosoma with colliculate sculpture on intervals between punctures (Rosa et al. 2015c: Figs 4C, 4D); T3 apical notch usually with two spines or teeth at its sides (Rosa et al. 2015c: Fig. 4F), rarely blunted............................... Chrysellampus Semenov
