Key to Asian genera of Pamphagini

(For N. African genera see Massa 2012; for European genera see Harz 1975 and Llorente & Presa 1997)

1 Posteromedian projection of epiphallus with a distinct median incision at hind margin ( Fig. 37 c); aedeagus very large, elongated; arch of zygoma short and completely in vertical position; tumida of zygoma very indistinct ( Figs. 37 a, b, d); male supraanal plate not divided ( Fig. 268 )............................................ Paracinipe Descamps et Mounassif

- Posteromedian projection of epiphallus with straight or rounded hind margin ( Figs. 32 c–36c); aedeagus small and wide; arch of zygoma long and sloping, not in vertical position; tumida of zygoma distinct ( Figs. 32 a, b, d–36a, b, d); basal part of male supra-anal plate thickened separated from thin and triangular apical part by a distinct transversal suture ( Fig. 269 )........ 2

2 Antennae with flattened segments especially in proximal part, ensiform ( Fig. 270 ); hind femur slender, very distinctly narrow and long ( Fig. 272 ); mesosternal interspace clearly longer than wide ( Fig. 274 ); aedeagus truncate or narrowly rounded at apex ( Figs. 35 a, d, 36a, d)........................................................................ Orchamus Stål

- Antennae not flattened, more or less with rounded segments, almost filiform ( Fig. 271 ); hind femur stout, wide and short ( Fig. 273 ); mesosternal interspace clearly wider than long or at most slightly longer (in Prionosthenus ) ( Figs. 275–277 ); aedeagus pointed at apex ( Figs. 32 a, d–34a, d)..................................................................... 3

3 Body strongly compressed laterally; median carina of pronotum and abdominal tergites strongly and sharply raised and prolonged posteriorly ( Figs. 282–287 ); mesosternal interspace as wide as long or slightly longer than wide ( Fig. 275 ); proximal part of antennae more flattened.................................................... Prionosthenus Bolívar, 1878

- Body more or less depressed dorso-ventrally; median carina of pronotum and abdominal tergites slightly raised or not raised, without sharp projections ( Figs. 288–295 ); mesosternal interspace wider than long ( Figs. 276–277 ); antennae with rounded segments........................................................................................... 4

4 Body strongly depressed dorso-ventrally in both sexes ( Figs. 294–295 ); eye quite small and rounded; distance from the frontal ridge to the eye clearly longer than vertical diameter of eye in female ( Fig. 279 ), at most as long as in male in lateral view ( Fig. 278 ); vertex broad, clearly wider than transversal diameter of eye in female, slightly narrower in male; posterior lobes of zygoma, arch of zygoma and aedeagus slender, narrow and elongated in dorsal view ( Fig. 34 b)........ Ocneropsis Uvarov

- Body much less depressed dorso-ventrally, relatively compressed laterally as well ( Figs. 288–293 ); eye larger and oval; distance from the frontal ridge to the eye at most as long as vertical diameter of eye in female ( Fig. 281 ) and distinctly shorter in male in lateral view ( Fig. 280 ); vertex narrow, clearly narrower than transversal diameter of eye in male, at most as wide as in female; posterior lobes of zygoma, arch of zygoma and aedeagus stout, wide and short in dorsal view ( Figs. 32 b, 33b)......................................................................................... Ocnerosthenus Massa
