Triapitsyn, Serguei V., 2005, Revision of Ceranisus and the related thrips-attacking entedonine genera (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) of the world, African Invertebrates 46, pp. 261-315 : 264

Key to the thrips-attacking genera of Entedoninae (Eulophidae)

1 Head usually with a more or less distinct suture (straight or angulate) across vertex just behind posterior ocelli; mandible reduced, without teeth; flagellum of female antenna with 2 funicle segments ........................................................................ 2

– Head without such vertexal suture; mandible toothed; flagellum of female antenna with 3 funicle segments .......... Pediobius Walker (not considered in this review)

2(1) Forewing recurved along posterior margin, nearly parallel sided below marginal vein; longest marginal setae much greater than width of forewing ( Figs 2 , 5 ) ................................................................................................ Goetheana Girault

– Shape of forewing not as above; longest marginal setae at most equal to (usually much less than) width of forewing; or female very rarely brachypterous.......... 3

3(2) Female: antennal clava not segmented; male: flagellum either with 2 funicle segments and a 3-segmented (or rarely entire) clava or with 3 funicle segments and a solid clava; both sexes: petiole at least as long as wide, often notably longer than wide; parasitoids of Phlaeothripidae (Tubulifera) ........................................ ...................................................................... Entedonomphale Girault , stat. rev.

– Female: antennal clava 2- or 3-segmented; male: flagellum with 2 funicle segments and a 3-segmented clava; both sexes: petiole at most as long as wide, usually notably wider than long; parasitoids of Thripidae (Terebrantia) ........................ 4

4(3) At least one of the following applies (usually both): head with malar sulcus straight and simple or midlobe of mesoscutum with 2 pairs of setae... Ceranisus Walker

– Both must apply: head with malar sulcus clearly divided ventrally (Y-shaped) and midlobe of mesoscutum at most with 1 pair of setae ............ Thripobius Ferrière
