IDENTIFICATION KEY TO AGRYPNINAE : OOPHORINI IN ITALY

Agrypninae can be recognized among Elateridae View in CoL by the presence of basal setae on the claws (with the exception of Danosoma Thomson, 1859 ).

Oophorini are characterized by the pronotosternal sutures closed or slightly impressed anteriorly.
