Key to the species of Telogmometopius

1. Aedeagal shaft ( Figures 75, 81 ) elongate and slender in lateral view, not expanded apically, with basal part greatly extended beyond subgenital plates..... 2

– Aedeagal shaft ( Figures 87, 92 ) relatively short and broad in lateral view, with basal part moderately extended beyond subgenital plates or if not as above then shaft expanded apically ( Figure 85 ).............. 4

2. Postclypeus with lower two-thirds of median keel distinctly dilated laterally resulting in a diamond-shaped, flattened, median area; subgenital plates ( Figure 71 ) with apical spine-like process distinctly longer than expanded basal region; India............... bicarinatus sp. nov.

– Postclypeus ( Figures 10, 11 ) with median keel fully sharp throughout length; subgenital plates with apical spine-like process distinctly shorter than expanded basal region..................... 3

3. Length „ 7.5–8.4 mm, ♀ 7.5–8.5 mm; subgenital plates ( Figure 74 ) joined basally in ventral view; aedeagal shaft ( Figure 79 ) with apical process coiled; SW China (Yunnan, Tibet).......... carinilabratus (Chou and Wu)

– Length „ 5.4–5.5 mm, ♀ 5.6 mm; subgenital plates ( Figure 80 ) slightly separated in ventral view; aedeagal shaft ( Figure 81 ) with apical process sinuate; NE India (E Himalayas), SW China (Tibet)......... himalayensis sp. nov .

4. Fore wings with two transverse fuscous fasciae: one before middle and the other subapical; subgenital plates ( Figure 84 ) evenly tapered from base to apex with expanded basal region narrow and apical spine-like process relatively stout; aedeagal shaft ( Figure 85 ) relatively elongate; Malaysia (northern Borneo: Sabah)................. bifasciatus sp. nov.

– Fore wings without transverse fuscous fasciae........... 5

5. Subgenital plates ( Figures 91–93 ) with expanded basal region very elongate and apical spine-like process short, stout, and dorsally directed in lateral view, not visible in ventral view; northern Borneo....... angulatus sp. nov.

– Subgenital plates not as above............... 6

6. Subgenital plates ( Figures 104–106 ) with expanded basal region and apical spinelike process not abruptly differentiated in ventral view, the latter stout; Malaysia ( Sarawak)............... sarawakensis sp. nov.

– Subgenital plates ( Figures 88 , 95, 100 ) with expanded basal region and apical spine-like process abruptly differentiated in ventral view; apical spine-like process fine or stout..................... 7

7. Subgenital plates ( Figure 88 ) with apical spine-like process much longer than expanded basal region; Burma......... rangoonensis sp. nov.

– Subgenital plates ( Figures 95, 100 ) with apical spine-like process shorter than expanded basal region.................. 8

8. Subgenital plates ( Figure 100 ) with apical spine-like process fine; aedeagal shaft ( Figure 103 ) similar in width distally in lateral view, subapical process relatively short; southern and central China (Hubei, Gansu, Sichuan, Guizhou,? Jiangxi).................. obsoletus Jacobi

– Subgenital plates ( Figure 95 ) with apical spine-like process stout; aedeagal shaft ( Figure 97 ) expanded apically, subapical spine-like process relatively long; Malaysia (northern Borneo: Sabah)......... sabahensis sp. nov.
