Key to species of Salticellinae

1 Veins R 4+5 and M 1 strongly converging at apex of wing. Cell cua sharply pointed posterodistally with triangular extension ( Fig. 2H )................................................................................... Salticellinae … 2

- Veins R 4+5 and M 1 parallel or only slightly converging. Cell cua without extension................ remaining Sciomyidae

2 Hind femur swollen, more than twice as wide as tibia; tibiae with distinct preapical dorsal seta; postpedicel subequal in length to pedicel and scape combined; ocellar setae present......................................................... 3

- Hind femur slender, slightly wider than tibia; tibiae without distinct preapical dorsal seta; postpedicel 2.7 times longer than length of pedicel and scape combined; distinct ocellar setae absent …............... Babakintaromyia albitarsis sp. nov.

3 Wing with crossvein dm-m straight; cell cua with short posterodistal prolongation about one-third as long as CuA+CuP; CuA+CuP distinct to wing margin................................................. Salticella fasciata (Meigen)

- Wing with crossvein dm-m angled as mid-length; cell cua with long, narrow posterodistal prolongation about half as long as CuA+CuP; CuA+CuP indistinct prior to wing margin................................ Salticella stuckenbergi Verbeke
