Key to the subgenera of Ischalia
With the addition of a third subgenus, a key to the subgenera is offered to characterize some of the major differences in species of Ischalia .
1 Elytra lacking humeral carinae; metathoracic wings absent..................................... Ischalia (Eupleurida)
- Elytral humeral carinae present; metathoracic wings usually fully-developed (reduced, but present, in two species)........ 2
2 Pronotum subglabrous, nitid; pronotal pits and depressions greatly reduced; humeral elytral carinae strongly reduced............................................................................. Ischalia (Nitidischalia), subgen. nov.
- Pronotal vestiture short but conspicuous; pronotal pits and depressions well-developed; humeral elytral carinae well-developed...................................................................................... Ischalia (Ischalia)
