Key to Oriental genera of the tribe Elampini

We provide an updated key to the Oriental genera of the tribe Elampini after the genus Chrysellampus Semenov, 1932 was reinstated ( Rosa et al. 2015c), Holophris Mocsáry here redescribed and Leptopareia gen. nov. here established. The genus Philoctetes Abeille de Perrin is not yet recorded in the Oriental region, but included in the key because some species could be distributed at least in the Oriental part of China.

1. Tarsal claw with one subsidiary tooth..................................................................... 2

- Tarsal claw with more than one subsidiary tooth............................................................. 3

2. Tarsal claw with one perpendicular and submedial tooth; T3 without angular projection..... Hedychridium Abeille de Perrin

- Tarsal claw with one subparallel and subsidiary tooth; T3 usually with two small angular projections... Hedychrum Latreille

3. Fore wing medial cell with setae; vein M strongly curved; T3 without apical notch................... Holopyga Dahlbom

- Fore wing medial cell asetosae; vein M slightly curved; T3 with or without apical notch............................. 4

4. Metanotum produced to form horizontal tongue-like projection, rarely without projection; T3 with apical notch, usually with horseshoe-shaped or falcate rim, rarely without rim; female gena with row of setae.................... Elampus Spinola

- Metanotum rounded (rarely with tongue-like projection, not observed in Oriental species); T3 with or without apical notch, usually without horseshoe-shaped or falcate rim; female gena without row of setae................................. 5

5. Mesoscutum impunctate, at most with wrinkles............................................................. 6

– Mesoscutum with large punctures........................................................................ 8

6. Head with indistinct subgenal area (postgena) ( Fig. 3A View FIGURE 3 ); gena very narrow under lower margin of eye ( Figs 3A View FIGURE 3 , 9A View FIGURE 9 , 11A View FIGURE 11 ); MS not bisected by genal carina; genal area not carinate ( Fig. 3A View FIGURE 3 ); fore wing with pterostigma positioned over half length of anterior margin ( Fig. 2A View FIGURE 2 )........................................................ Leptopareia Rosa & Xu , gen. nov.

- Head with distinct subgenal area ( Figs 3B View FIGURE 3 , 4A View FIGURE 4 , 5A View FIGURE 5 , 6A View FIGURE 6 ); gena broad under lower margin of eye ( Fig. 3B View FIGURE 3 ); MS bisected by genal carina; genal area and subgenal area carinate; fore wing with pterostigma positioned at less than half length of anterior margin ( Fig. 2B View FIGURE 2 ), rarely at half length.................................................................... 7

7. Head, in frontal view, with convex upper profile ( Figs 4B View FIGURE 4 , 5B View FIGURE 5 , 6B View FIGURE 6 ); temples narrow (<1 MOD); mesopleuron subquadrate or trapezoid with distinct double carinate omaulus ( Fig. 1B View FIGURE 1 ); transpleural carina extending below propodeal angle ( Fig. 1B View FIGURE 1 ); T3 without notch ( Figs 4F View FIGURE 4 , 5F View FIGURE 5 , 6F View FIGURE 6 ), with wide semi-transparent rim (> 1 MOD)........................ Holophris Mocsáry

Omalus Panzer

8. MS not bisected by genal carina; metanotum usually elevated or gibbous to mucronate ( Rosa et al. 2015d: Fig. 2C View FIGURE 2 )...................................................................................... Philoctetes Abeille de Perrin
