Key to identification of Socoflata species

1. Tegmen light brown, with dark brown markings in costal area basally, on bulla, around basal cell, in C4 cell, and in outer claval cell basally and apically, posterior (inner) claval cell brownish, not contrasting ( Figs 1, 2 View FIGURES 1–10 , 62 View FIGURES61–67 ). Live specimens with tegmina covered with wax in a zig-zag pattern ( Fig. 62 View FIGURES61–67 ). Vertex, pronotum and mesonotum brownish with a pale yellow stripe extending from vertex only to the middle of mesonotum, scutellum dark ( Figs 2 View FIGURES 1–10 , 62 View FIGURES61–67 ). Clavus basally and bulla strongly convex, outstanding of body outline. Cells in medial area of tegmen relatively large, irregular in shape ( Figs 1, 2 View FIGURES 1–10 , 11, 12 View FIGURES 11–16 ). Male genital style with posterior margin convex, capitulum relatively short and broad ( Fig. 37 View FIGURES35–44 ). Dorsal part of periandrium, in lateral view, with dorsal margin bearing a small lobe-like extension medially ( Fig. 39 View FIGURES35–44 , arrow); median arm of periandrium appendage with lower process long, strongly curved, reaching the level of upper process ventral spines ( Fig. 39 View FIGURES35–44 ). Larger species: total length 3.5–4.2 mm (mean 3.8) in males and 3.7–4.6 mm (mean 4.2) in females......................... S. histrionica sp. nov.

-. Tegmen light brown with corium medially and clavus anteriorly and basally (in outer claval cell) dark brown, or tegmen almost uniformly pale yellow, but posterior (inner) claval cell always contrasting, bright orange-yellow ( Figs 3–10 View FIGURES 1–10 ). Live specimens with tegmina extensively covered with wax, except for posterior (inner) claval cell ( Fig. 61 View FIGURES61–67 ). Vertex, pronotum and mesonotum bright orange-yellow with a pale yellow median stripe extending from vertex to scutellum ( Figs 4, 6, 8, 10 View FIGURES 1–10 , 61 View FIGURES61–67 ). Clavus basally and bulla weakly convex, hardly outstanding of body outline ( Figs 3–10 View FIGURES 1–10 , 25, 26 View FIGURES 23–28 ). Cells in medial area of tegmen narrow and mostly elongate ( Figs 27, 28 View FIGURES 23–28 ). Male genital style with posterior margin weakly sinuate (concave in basal half), capitulum relatively long and narrow ( Fig. 38 View FIGURES35–44 ). Dorsal part of periandrium, in lateral view, with dorsal margin smoothly descending to basal part; median arm of periandrium appendage with lower process slightly curved or almost straight, not reaching the level of upper process ventral spines ( Figs 41, 42 View FIGURES35–44 ). Smaller species: total length 3.1–3.8 mm (mean 3.4) in males and 3.3–4.1 mm (mean 3.7) in females................................................................. S. aurolineata sp. nov.
