Key to Australian Polynema View in CoL -group genera and subgenera of Mymaridae , both sexes
1 Forewing oar-shaped, consisting of a narrow petiole and an oval, partly infuscate blade; hind wing greatly reduced, without membrane, at most filamentous ................................................... Mymar Curtis View in CoL
— Forewing not oar-shaped; hind wing with membrane even when reduced and/or very narrow...............2
2(1) Petiole attached to gastral tergum (as in Fig. 122 View FIGURES 122–124 )....................................................................................3
— Petiole attached to gastral sternum (as in Figs 94 View FIGURES 91–94 , 102, 106)...................................................................6
3(2) Face with a pit next to each torulus ( Fig. 123 View FIGURES 122–124 ) .................................................... Himopolynema Taguchi
— Face without a pit next to each torulus (as in Fig. 81 View FIGURES 81–83 )..............................................................................4
4(3) Propleura abutting each other anteriorly along midline, the prosternum thus closed anteriorly (Fig. 73); forewing blade of characteristic shape ( Fig. 83 View FIGURES 81–83 ), usually narrow, often slightly narrowing just beyond apex of venation (Figs 78–80); propodeum smooth, without carinae ................ Palaeoneura Waterhouse
— Propleura not abutting anteriorly, the prosternum thus open anteriorly ( Fig. 124 View FIGURES 122–124 ); forewing blade usually wider just beyond apex of venation than at marginal vein (Fig. 125); propodeum with at least an incomplete medial carina (present at posterior margin of propodeum only, as in Fig. 77) in the native species [smooth in the apparently introduced species Polynema saga (Girault) , known in Australia only from several specimens from Victoria] ( Polynema Haliday )....................................................................5
5(4) Forewing blade with setae behind marginal vein (Fig. 125) ..................... Polynema (Polynema) Haliday
— Forewing blade bare behind marginal vein .............................. Polynema (Dorypolynema) Hayat & Anis
6(2) Forewing of peculiar shape (Fig. 126), very narrow basally and wide distally, with a characteristic short venation and transverse brown bands on the blade; at least vertex, pronotum, mesoscutum and scutellum with reticulate sculpture ........................................................................................... Richteria Girault
— Forewing not as above, with blade either more or less hyaline or, if banded, then head and mesosoma smooth or at most with inconspicuous, mostly cellulate, sculpture..........................................................7
7(6) Scape with rasp-like sculpture; propodeum smooth, without carinae ........................ Stephanodes Enock
— Scape smooth or serrate (with cross-ridges on inner surface); propodeum with medial or submedial carinae............................................................................................................................................................8
8(7) Face without a pit next to each torulus; propodeum either with V-shaped submedial carinae or with a complete medial carina.............................................................................................................................9
— Face with a pit next to each torulus ( Fig. 87 View FIGURES 87–90 ); propodeum with subparallel submedial carinae ( Figs 93 View FIGURES 91–94 , 96 View FIGURES 95–97 , 115 View FIGURES 114–117 ), the carinae often incomplete, present at posterior margin of propodeum only ( Boccacciomymar gen. n.).............................................................................................................................................10
9(8) Propodeum with V-shaped submedial carinae ( Fig. 15 View FIGURES 14–17 ) ..................................... Acmopolynema Ogloblin
— Propodeum with a complete medial carina ..................................................... Agalmopolynema Ogloblin
10(8) Forewing with marginal vein relatively long and with a conspicuous narrow darkening of the blade along anterior margin distal to venation ( Figs 85 View FIGURES 84–86 , 90 View FIGURES 87–90 , 92 View FIGURES 91–94 , 97 View FIGURES 95–97 ) ........ Boccacciomymar (Boccacciomymar)
