Key to the Chinese species of subgenera Tupona Reuter

1 Lateral and inner margins of clavus black; endosoma with two developed membranous blades, with small serrations on one blade at apex ( Fig. 58 )................................................... T. paraseladonicus (Qi and Nonnaizab)

- Lateral and inner margins of clavus not black; without small serrations on blade at apex of endosoma................... 2

2 Tibial spines pale; one apical spine of endosoma with developed membrane, secondary gonopore large ( Fig. 33 )....................................................................................... T. brevicula Qi and Nonnaizab

- Tibial spines dark..................................................................................... 3

3 Antennal segment I with a narrow black ring................................................................ 4

- Antennal segment I without black ring..................................................................... 5

4 Phallotheca with keels at base; membranous blade of endosoma narrower and more strongly sinuate. T. soongorica Drapolyuk

- Phallotheca without any keel; membranous blade of endosoma wider and slightly sinuate........... T. roseipennis (Reuter)

5 Pro-coxa with a row of erect yellow setae.................................................... T. arcufera Reuter

- Pro-coxa without a row of erect yellow setae................................................................ 6

6 Exposed part of mesoscutum and scutellum scarlet; secondary gonopore without developed sclerite ( Fig. 41 ), phallotheca with distinct lamellate keel and small subapical tooth ( Fig. 44 )...................................... T. elegans (Jakovlev)

- Exposed part of mesoscutum and scutellum not scarlet; secondary gonopore with sclerite, phallotheca without distinct lamel- late keel and without small subapical tooth................................................................. 7

7 Endosoma more S-shaped, with two spiculate and sclerotized spines ( Fig. 53 ), phallotheca without horned projection ( Fig. 61 )................................................................................. T. mongolica Drapolyuk

- Endosoma more L-shaped, with two membranous blades and one blunt sclerotized spine ( Fig. 70 ), phallotheca with a horned projection ( Fig. 73 )................................................................ T. zhenyuanensis sp. nov.
