Genus Anacharis Dalman, 1823

Key to the Palearctic and Indomalayan species of genus Anacharis

1. Notauli tenuous, almost entirely effaced in the anterior region of the mesoscutum, sometimes internally carinate ( Figs 2C , 4D ); petiole as long as metacoxa ( Fig. 4F ) ......................................... 2

– Notauli excavated along their entire extension, and internally carinate; petiole longer than metacoxa ........................................................................................................................................... 3

2. Scutellum surface smooth to areolate, but never with small cells ( Fig. 2C, E ), median mesoscutal furrow absent, apex of scutellum with prominent tooth ( Fig. 2F ) ............. A. immunis Walker, 1835

– Scutellum surface strongly areolate and covered with small cells ( Fig. 4D ), median mesoscutal furrow short and weakly excavated but always present, apex of scutellum without a tooth ( Fig. 4E ) ............................................................................................................ A. norvegica sp. nov.

3. Parascutal sulcus absent; in some cases a coarse band surrounding the mesoscutum is present instead ( Figs 1B , 2D ) .................................................................................................................................... 4

– Parascutal sulcus present, internally carinate, and completely surrounding the mesoscutum ( Figs 1D , 3B , 4B ) .............................................................................................................................................. 5

4. Mesoscutum completely smooth without any carinate sculpture; scutellum also smooth, with a short, median scutellar carinae at the apex of the scutellum; notauli strongly carinate ( Fig. 1B ) ................................................................................................... A. antennata Belizin, 1951

– Mesoscutum with some weak carinae at the edges of the notauli, extended to comprise the whole anterior region in some specimens; scutellum alutaceous, without short median scutellar carinae at the posterior margin of the scutellum; notauli not always carinate; if carinae are present, they are weak ( Fig. 2A–B ) ............................................................................ A. eucharoides ( Dalman, 1818)

5. Pronotum smooth except for some short basal carinae ( Fig. 4B ) .................... A. fergussoni sp. nov.

– Pronotum surface completely covered by strong carinate sculpture ( Figs 1B , 3B ) ......................... 6

6. Scutellum strongly areolate ( Fig. 1C ), with only two basal parallel carinae; pronotum surface is covered by strong and irregular coarse sculpture ( Fig. 1D ) ................ A. parapsidalis Belizin, 1951

– Scutellum smooth with a short median scutellar carinae at the apex of the scutellum ( Fig. 3C ); pronotum surface crossed by oblique parallel carinae ( Fig. 3B ) .......................... A. belizini sp. nov.
