Key to extant Ophrynopus species, including key to ophrynopine genera

1. Fore wing vein 2 r arising from pterostigma more than 0.6 of pterostigma length from base of latter ( Figs 5B View FIGURE 5 , 7D View FIGURE 7 ; width of pterostigma measured from distal end of costal cell to apex of pterostigma, insertion of vein 2 r measured from distal end of costal cell to distal margin of 2r). Hind femur with distinct triangular projection on laterodistal corner ( Figs 5C View FIGURE 5 , 6A View FIGURE 6 , 7A View FIGURE 7 ) or hind margin of tergum 1 with distinct dense transverse fringe of setae. Sternum 9 of male with projections anteromedially and posterolaterally ( Vilhelmsen et al. 2013, fig. 8E)........................................... 2 (ophrynopine clade)

- Fore wing vein 2 r arising from pterostigma less than or equal to 0.6 of pterostigma length from base of latter ( Vilhelmsen 2003, figs 63-71). Hind femur with laterodistal corner rounded and hind margin of tergum 1 at most with scattered setae. Sternum 9 of male without projections..................................................................other Orussidae View in CoL

2. Head with postocular carina distinct but present only ventrally, extending at most slightly above lower margin of eyes ( Vilhelmsen 2003, fig. 20). Labiomaxillary complex reduced, maxillary palp very short, with three palpomeres. Hind femur with laterodistal corner rounded. Tergum 1 with distinct dense transverse fringe of setae on hind margin ( Vilhelmsen 2003, fig. 80). ( Costa Rica, Mexico, southern USA).................................................. Kulcania Benson, 1935

- Head with postocular carina usually extending for a considerable distance above lower margin of eyes ( Fig. 6A, C View FIGURE 6 ; rarely weakly developed [ Figs 4A View FIGURE 4 , 5A View FIGURE 5 ]). Labiomaxillary complex well developed, maxillary palps elongate, with five palpomeres ( Figs 4A View FIGURE 4 , 7A View FIGURE 7 ). Hind femur with laterodistal corner having distinct, triangular projection ( Figs 5C View FIGURE 5 , 6A View FIGURE 6 , 7A View FIGURE 7 ). Hind margin of tergum 1 at most with scattered setae ( Figs 5C View FIGURE 5 , 6E View FIGURE 6 , 7C View FIGURE 7 )....................................................... 3

3. Head with frons having only scattered punctuation, separated by large smooth spaces ( Blank et al. 2010, figs 5, 11, 16, 22, 28, 34, 41). Occipital carina absent ( Blank et al. 2010, fig. 38). Fore wing Rs hyaline or weakly pigmented distally ( Blank et al. 2010, figs 6, 12, 14, 20, 26, 32, 42). ( USA: California)............................... Ophrynon Middlekauff, 1983
