Key to species of Lutnes Cameron View in CoL

1 Head in lateral view high-triangular with frontovertex ( Fig. 4 View FIGURES1–9 : fvt) acutely angled relative to face ( Fig. 4 View FIGURES1–9 : fa); scrobal depression wider than high ( Fig. 3 View FIGURES1–9 ) and continuously carinate between inner orbits ( Figs 3, 5 View FIGURES1–9 ); fore wing with costal cell bare dorsally and disc with only one hyaline region with white setae behind marginal vein ( Fig. 8 View FIGURES1–9 ); propodeum with foramen incurved virtually to v-like emarginate anterior margin and callar region similarly strongly sculptured on either side of only obscurely developed postspiracular groove ( Fig. 6 View FIGURES1–9 : psg); flagellum dark except fl3 and fl4 yellowish, and fl5–fl8 strongly transverse such that combined length shorter than length of clava ( Fig. 7 View FIGURES1–9 ) (Afrotropical)......................... Lutnes afrotropicus n. sp.

- Head in lateral view lenticular to low-triangular with frontal surface almost evenly curved or frontovertex only obtusely angled relative to face ( Figs 11 View FIGURES 10–18 , 20 View FIGURES 19–27 , 29 View FIGURES 28–36 , 50, 51 View FIGURES 46–53 ); scrobal depression higher than wide and not carinately margined below anterior ocellus ( Figs 13 View FIGURES 10–18 , 39 View FIGURES 37–45 , 46, 47 View FIGURES 46–53 ); fore wing with costal cell setose dorsally and more hyaline regions of disc lacking white setae ( Fig. 34 View FIGURES 28–36 ) or with both anterior and posterior hyaline regions with white setae behind marginal vein ( Figs 16 View FIGURES 10–18 , 25 View FIGURES 19–27 , 41 View FIGURES 37–45 , 52, 53 View FIGURES 46–53 ); propodeum with foramen obviously separated from anterior margin, and callar region with more strongly sculptured mesal region separated from smooth and shiny or only faintly sculptured lateral region by postspiracular groove extending from spiracle to foramen (e.g. Figs 17 View FIGURES 10–18 , 26 View FIGURES 19–27 , 58 View FIGURES 54–59 : psg); flagellum variable in colour pattern, but at least fl5–fl8 subquadrangular to slightly longer than wide such that combined length obviously greater than length of clava ( Figs 12 View FIGURES 10–18 , 24 View FIGURES 19–27 , 33 View FIGURES 28–36 ) (Neotropical)............. 2

2(1) Brachypterous ( Figs 28, 29 View FIGURES 28–36 ), with fore wing disc somewhat more hyaline but with entirely dark setae behind marginal vein ( Fig. 34 View FIGURES 28–36 ).......................................................................... Lutnes infucatus n. sp.

- Macropterous ( Figs 11 View FIGURES 10–18 , 38 View FIGURES 37–45 , 50 View FIGURES 46–53 ) or, if brachypterous ( Figs 20 View FIGURES 19–27 , 51 View FIGURES 46–53 ), fore wing disc with anterior ( Fig. 53 View FIGURES 46–53 ) or both anterior and posterior hyaline regions ( Figs 25 View FIGURES 19–27 , 41 View FIGURES 37–45 , 52 View FIGURES 46–53 ) with white setae behind marginal vein................................... 3

3(2) Fore wing disc with setae entirely dark except for white setae in hyaline regions ( Figs 25 View FIGURES 19–27 , 41 View FIGURES 37–45 )......................... 4

- Fore wing disc with region of orangish setae at least behind marginal vein basally ( Figs 10, 16 View FIGURES 10–18 ) and sometimes more extensively in addition to white setae in hyaline regions ( Figs 48, 50, 52 View FIGURES 46–53 ).............................................. 5

4(3) Brachypterous, with slender fore wing ( Fig. 25 View FIGURES 19–27 ) extending only to about mid-length of gaster ( Figs 19, 20 View FIGURES 19–27 ); flagellum entirely brown ( Fig. 24 View FIGURES 19–27 ); all legs with femora and tibiae brown except for slightly paler knees ( Fig. 20 View FIGURES 19–27 ); gaster with Gt5 at least broadly reticulate laterally, the sculptural cells concave and delineated by ridges ( Fig. 27 View FIGURES 19–27 )............ Lutnes biguttatus (Girault)

- Macropterous, with apically broadened fore wing ( Fig. 41 View FIGURES 37–45 ) extending to apex of gaster ( Figs 37, 38 View FIGURES 37–45 ); flagellum with at least apical four funiculars orangish ( Fig. 38 View FIGURES 37–45 ); middle and hind legs with knees distinctly white and at least mesotibia with variably long pale region mesally to subapically or apically ( Fig. 38 View FIGURES 37–45 ); gaster with Gt5 entirely granular, the sculptural cells convex and delineated by grooves ( Fig. 44 View FIGURES 37–45 ).................................................. Lutnes ornaticornis Cameron View in CoL

5(3) Mesosoma dark with green to bluish or purple lusters, not contrasting distinctly with head ( Figs 10, 11, 14, 15 View FIGURES 10–18 ); legs extensively dark, including all femora and outer surface of metatibia ( Fig. 11 View FIGURES 10–18 ); macropterous ( Figs 10, 11 View FIGURES 10–18 ), with fore wing having distinct region of orangish setae behind marginal vein basally ( Figs 10, 16 View FIGURES 10–18 ) and sometimes variably large region of orangish setae apically near stigmal vein, but at least anterior and posterior hyaline regions separated by dark brown setae extending from base of parastigma; propodeum with plical region medially obviously less than half as long as scutellum ( Fig. 17 View FIGURES 10–18 ); antenna, excluding scape, dark except fl4–fl6 or fl4–fl7 pale ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 10–18 )....................
