Key to Subgenera of Tetragonula View in CoL s.l.
(worker caste; modified from Engel et al., 2018)
1. Scape shorter than torulocellar distance ( Figs. 20 View Figures 18–22 , 28 View Figure 28 , 32 View Figures 32–34 ); about five distal hamuli ( Fig. 39 View Figures 35–39 ); retromarginal contour of metatibia slightly convex, with superi- or distal angle subangulate ( Figs. 19 View Figures 18–22 , 33, 34 View Figures 32–34 , 40, 41 View Figures 40–42 ); rastellum and penicillum usually composed of soft setae; forewing membrane rather uniformly colored, typically clear to lightly infuscate ( Figs. 19 View Figures 18–22 , 37 View Figures 35–39 ); pleural setae pale ( Fig. 19 View Figures 18–22 ); forewing marginal cell nearly closed, sometimes with apex of Rs bent and nebulous (i.e., appendiculate), with or without 2r-rs stub arising at bend ............................. ...............................................................................................

—. Scape at least as long as torulocellar distance ( Fig. 21 View Figures 18–22 ); six distal hamuli; retromarginal contour of metatibia distinctly and broadly convex ( Fig. 22 View Figures 18–22 ), with superior distal angle rounded, almost without angulation; rastellum and penicillum composed of stiff setae; forewing membrane markedly bicolored, proximally darkly fuscate ( Fig. 22 View Figures 18–22 ); pleural setae fuscous to black ( Fig. 22 View Figures 18–22 ); forewing marginal cell more broadly opened apically, apex of Rs never bent (i.e., never appendiculate) ..............................................................................
