Key to subfamilies and tribes of Odontopygidae Attems, 1909 View in CoL

1. Gonopod telopodite without a flexible zone and without torsion, see, e.g., Kraus (1966: fig. 140). Gonopod sternum inconspicuous. Ozopores starting on body ring 6.. Odontopyginae Attems, 1909

– Telopodite with a flexible zone shortly after its exit from the coxal cavity, mostly with a torsion (‘torsotope’) at this point, see, e.g., Fig. 16A View Fig . Ozopores starting on ring 5 or 6 ............................... 2

2. Telopodite with a demarcation between a “prefemoral” part and a usually narrower ‘femoral’ part (post-torsal narrowing, see, e.g., Figs 8A View Fig , 55A View Fig ); torsotope always present. Gonopod sternum inconspicuous. Ozopores starting on ring 6, except in the genus Pleonoporus Attems, 1938 View in CoL ............................................................................................( Archepyginae Manfredi, 1939 )...4

– Telopodite without distinction between a “prefemoral” and a usually narrower “prefemoral” zone (no post-torsal narrowing); with or without torsotope....................................................................... 3

3. No torsotope. Gonopod sternum inconspicuous. Ozopores starting on body ring 5. Margin of limbus straight ............................................................................................... Peridontopygini Attems, 1914

– Torsotope present. Gonopod sternum well-developed (at least in Xystopyge View in CoL , see, e.g., Fig. 62A View Fig , VandenSpiegel & Pierrard (2004: figs 1, 4), condition in Lissopyge Attems, 1909 View in CoL dubious). Ozopores starting on body ring 6. Limbus divided into variously shaped lobes ..... Lissopyginae Attems, 1909 View in CoL

4. Solenomere blunt, short and compact, more or less expanded, never longer than telomere and basally fused with it, see, e.g., Demange & Mauries (1975: fig. 162), Kraus (1960: fig. 169) ....................... .......................................................... Ctenoiulini Hoffman, 1980 and Archepygini Manfredi, 1939

– Solenomere always ending with a point, even when it may be expanded elsewhere, usually long and slender (1 exception in the genus Patinatiopsis Kraus, 1960 View in CoL ) .......... Prionopetalini Hoffman, 1991 View in CoL

The distinction between Ctenoiulini + Archepygini on the one side and the Prionopetalini on the other side roughly reflects couplet 5 in the key to genera of Archepyginae (= Odontopyginae sensu Kraus 1966 ) of Kraus (1966: 90), see also Hoffman (1980: 99). The distinction between Ctenoiulini and Archepygini is unclear, see Hoffman (1991: 71).
