Note.

The characters given in the key for Apodynerus amandus Gusenleitner, 2002, Apodynerus diffinis Giordani Soika, 1996, Apodynerus rufipes Giordani Soika, 1994 and Apodynerus nitidiclypeus Gusenleitner, 2013, were taken from the original descriptions ( Giordani Soika 1994, 1996, Gusenleitner 2002, 2013), and for Apodynerus formosensis (von Schulthesses, 1934), from Giordani Soika (1994). The characters in the key are applicable to both sexes unless the sex is mentioned.

Key to species of Apodynerus

1	Anterior face of pronotum densely punctured, with median pit. Female clypeus truncated apically; in frontal view nearly entirely flattened, with distinctly carinate border; in lateral view flattened	Apodynerus nitidiclypeus Gusenleitner
-	Anterior face of pronotum glossy and slightly punctured laterally, without median pit and with series of median striae. Female clypeus in frontal view more or less convex, without carina; in lateral view more or less convex	2
2	Female clypeus truncated apically. Punctures on frons moderately dense in lower half, sparser and superficial in upper half; posterior part of vertex and gena with large, sparse punctures. Propodeum with lateral face distinctly separated from dorsal face	Apodynerus rufipes Giordani Soika
-	Female clypeus at least slightly emarginate apically ( Figs 2 View Figures 1–10 , 11-14 View Figures 11–18 , 41 View Figures 30–47 ). Punctures on frons and vertex more or less dense, slightly smaller and sparser in posterior part of vertex. Border between lateral face and dorsal face of propodeum ill-defined	3
3	Submarginal carina of propodeum long, narrow, curved upwards and sharply pointed. Mesepisternum smooth and glossy, with superficial punctures. Metanotum obtusely dentiform. Male terminal flagellomere slender, curved backwards, apically nearly reaching the base of flagellomere IX	Apodynerus flavospinosus (Giordani Soika)
-	Submarginal carina of propodeum short and wide. Mesepisternum usually with dense punctures. Metanotum dentiform or not. Shape of male terminal flagellomere variable	4
4	Tergum II in lateral view only slightly convex dorsally ( Fig. 24 View Figures 19–29 ); basomedian furrow of metasomal sternum II distinct	5
-	Tergum II in lateral view convex dorsally ( Figs 4 View Figures 1–10 , 25-27 View Figures 19–29 ); basomedian furrow of metasomal sternum II absent or inconspicuous	6
5	Clypeus with sparse and superficial punctures. Mesepisternum with dense punctures; interspaces between punctures cariniform. Body entirely covered with long and dense setae	Apodynerus icarioides (Bingham)
-	Clypeus with dense and deep punctures. Mesepisternum with dense punctures; interspaces non-cariniform. Body with short setae	Apodynerus formosensis (von Schulthess)
6	Metanotum sharply dentiform. Metasomal segment I proportionally long, 0.6 × as long as mesosoma ( Figs 4 View Figures 1–10 , 5 View Figures 1–10 ); in dorsal view more or less smoothly widened posteriorly ( Figs 6 View Figures 1–10 , 7 View Figures 1–10 ). Male terminal flagellomere flattened dorsoventrally, long and curved backwards, apically reaching the base of flagellomere IX ( Figs 8 View Figures 1–10 , 9 View Figures 1–10 )	Apodynerus gregarioides (Giordani Soika)
-	Metanotum obtuse or non-dentiform. Metasomal segment I proportionally short, about or less than 0.4 × as long as mesosoma; in dorsal view abruptly widened at the base ( Fig. 30 View Figures 30–47 ). Male terminal flagellomere short in most specimens ( Figs 28 View Figures 19–29 , 29 View Figures 19–29 )	7
7	Female clypeus about as wide as high. Metanotum non-dentiform. Metasomal sternum II without basomedian furrow	Apodynerus amandus Gusenleitner
-	Female clypeus wider than high ( Figs 11 View Figures 11–18 , 12 View Figures 11–18 , 41-47 View Figures 30–47 ). Metanotum hardly to obtusely dentiform. Metasomal sternum II with inconspicuous basomedian furrow	8
8	Metasomal tergum II with dense punctures in anterior half, interspace between punctures smaller than puncture, punctures becoming smaller but denser towards apex. Tergum I in lateral view abruptly swollen dorsally	Apodynerus diffinis Giordani Soika
-	Metasomal tergum II more or less uniformly punctured. Tergum I in lateral view gradually swollen dorsally ( Figs 25-27 View Figures 19–29 )	9
