Key to species of Buyda

(after Hoffman (1992), modified)

1. Wings apex hyaline ( Fig. 4a ); male abdominal tergite 5 with anterolateral patches of 30–55 pores ( Fig. 5c ); ectoproct rounded distal to ventromedial lobe ( Fig. 5e ); hypomeres shorter than pseudopenis ( Fig. 5g ); female sternite 8 as long medially as laterally ( Fig. 6c ); spermatheca with distal section slightly wider than medial section ( Fig. 6e )............ B. immaculata n. sp.

- Wings apex infuscated ( Machado & Rafael 2010, Fig. 3 ); male tergite 5 without pores; ectoproct conical distal to ventromedial lobe; hypomeres nearly as long as pseudopenis ( Machado & Rafael 2010, Fig. 4e, f ); female sternite 8 nearly 1.5 times as long medially as laterally; spermatheca with distal section narrower than medial section ( Machado & Rafael 2010, Fig. 4i ).................................................................................. B. phthisica (Gerstaecker, 1885)
