Key to the subfamilies of Pompilidae View in CoL View at ENA of the Dominican Republic

1 Labrum fully exerted and trapezoid-shaped ( Fig. 1A View FIGURE 1 ); fore wing with first radial 2 cell not separated apically from wing costal margin, apex of first radial 2 cell angulated ( Pompilinae ).............. Notocyphus anacaona Rodriguez & Pitts View in CoL , sp. nov.

- Labrum not fully exerted; if so, then apical margin rounded or emarginated; fore wing with first radial 2 cell separated apically from wing costal margin, apex of the cell rounded........................................................... 2

2 Fore wing with pterostigma large, at least 3.5 × as long as wide; inner margins of compound eyes strongly diverging dorsally, sinuate ( Ceropalinae ).......................................................... Irenangelus hispaniolae Evans View in CoL

- Fore wing with pterostigma small, about 2.5 × as long as wide; inner margins of compound eyes nearly parallel.......... 3

3 Metatibia with apical spine-like setae of more or less uniform length, setae not splayed; metasomal sternum 2 with distinct sharp transverse groove, but male often without sharp groove; meso- and metafemur without subapical spine-like setae set in grooves or pits; fore wing with Cu vein simple at base, without any definite downward deflection, such that second medial cell is without a posterior "pocket" ( Fig. 2A View FIGURE 2 )................................................................... 4

- Metatibia with apical spine-like setae of different lengths and splayed; metasomal sternum 2 without distinct sharp transverse groove; meso- and metafemur with 1 or more subapical dorsal spine-like setae set in grooves or pits; fore wing with Cu vein distinctly deflected downward at base, such that second medial cell has posterior "pocket" ( Figs 2E–G View FIGURE 2 )........ Pompilinae

4 Clypeus slightly flat, beginning right above the antennal scrobe; eyes densely setose (less evident on males); front, mid, and fore femora swollen ( Ctenocerinae ) ( Figs 4A–B View FIGURE 4 )................................. Epipompilus pulcherrimus (Evans) View in CoL

- Clypeus not flat, with conspicuous space between clypeus and antennal scrobe; eyes not setose; femora not swollen...................................................................................................... Pepsinae
