Key to the genera of the Reduviinae View in CoL of Australia
1 First rostral segment long, subequal to second and third combined, extending beyond posterior ocular margin; [scape subequal to or shorter than anteocular region]................................................................ Voconia View in CoL
- First rostral segment more or less subequal to or shorter than second, not extending beyond posterior ocular margin....... 2
2 Anterior pronotal lobe armed with several long spines; humeral angles spinose; [scape subequal to or shorter than anteocular region].................................................................................... Centrogonus View in CoL
- Anterior pronotal lobe unarmed; humeral angles rounded, unarmed............................................. 3
3 Scape distinctly longer than anteocular region.............................................................. 4
- Scape subequal to or shorter than anteocular region......................................................... 5
4 Antennae abundantly setose; disc of pronotum with distinct sulci; external cell of hemelytral membrane only slightly wider than internal cell; species with dorsum, in some part, testaceous..................................... Australocleptes View in CoL
- Antennae only with sparse setae; disc of pronotum without distinct sculpture; external cell of hemelytral membrane distinctly wider than internal cell; species completely piceous, except paler joints of legs.............................. Reduvius View in CoL
5 Profemur unarmed ventrally............................................................................ 6
- Profemur armed ventrally with distinct teeth or setigerous tubercles............................................. 9
6 Body densely covered with long erect hairs; small species, length 6–8 mm .............................. Peregrinator View in CoL
- Body essentially glabrous; larger species, usually 10 mm or greater............................................. 7
7 Eyes and ocelli small, not at all prominent; posteromedial margin of pronotum generally straight; [profemur greatly incrassate]......................................................................................... Archilestidium View in CoL
- Eyes and ocelli large, prominent; posteromedial margin of pronotum somewhat to conspicuously convex............... 8
8 Pro- and mesofemur conspicuously incrassate, metafemur little less so; posteromedial margin of pronotum conspicuously con-
vex; scutellum with apex greatly elongated, length of scutellum greater than basal width......................... Velitra View in CoL - Pro- and mesofemur more slender, not greatly incrassate, metafemur not at all incrassate; posteromedial margin of pronotum somewhat convex; apex of scutellum short, basal width of scutellum greater than length....................... Horcinia View in CoL
9 Disc of pronotum smooth or at most, feebly rugulose; [profemur armed ventrally with setigerous tubercles]............. 10
- Disc of pronotum granulate or covered with setigerous tubercles.............................................. 11
10 Ocelli large, interocellar distance only slightly wider than ocellar diameter; head with transverse sulcus set at posterior margin of eyes; rostrum pilose; prosternal sulcus lined laterad with setigerous tubercles; posterior margin of male pygophore with very broad triangular median process, parameres emarginate apically.................................. Perissopygocoris View in CoL
- Ocelli small, interocellar distance at least twice ocellar diameter; head with transverse sulcus set between middle of eyes; rostrum glabrous; prosternal sulcus lined laterad with long setae, without tubercles; posterior margin of male pygophore with small rounded triangular projection between two raised lateral areas, parameres entire apically.............. Pelurgocoris View in CoL
11 Lateral margin of postocular region distinctly angulate, thus postocular region distinctly wider than anteocular region, head triangular; [profemur armed ventrally with teeth]............................................................. 12
- Lateral margin of postocular region narrowing to collum, thus postocular region not noticeably wider than anteocular region, head rhomboidal.................................................................................... 13
12 Ocelli distant, separated by more than dorsal width of eye........................................... Dilophocoris View in CoL
- Ocelli close together, not separated by dorsal width of eye......................................... Sphedanocoris View in CoL
13 Profemur strongly incrassate, armed ventrally with distinct teeth; species with anterior pronotal lobe, legs and abdomen distinctly sanguineous, head contrastingly piceous....................................................... Croscius View in CoL
- Profemur moderately incrassate, armed ventrally with setigerous tubercles; species not sanguineous but piceous, testaceous, or some combination thereof..................................................................... Noualhierana View in CoL
