Key to Australian genera of Chelipodini

The following key is tentative as undescribed genera are almost certainly present in Australia and local

forms of Chelipoda are subject to considerable but unstudied variation, especially in wing venation.

1 Vein C fading a short distance beyond apex of wing; R 4+5 forked; eye notch (crena) absent ....................................................................... Sororsenexa n.gen.

—— Vein C circumambient, continued (if sometimes weakly) around posterior margin of wing; R 4+5 linear; eye notch (crena) present and distinct ........................................................................................................................ 2

2 Crossvein dm-cu absent (cell dm absent); long veins R 2+3, R 4+5, M and CuA 1 unbranched; second tarsal segment of front leg longer than third segment; antenna lacking basal article to stylus; male cercus bilobed with upper lobe greatly enlarged and apically broadened ................................................................................ Anaclastoctedon Plant

—— Crossvein dm-cu usually present (cell dm closed); second tarsal segment of front leg shorter than or at most as long as third segment; antennal stylus with basal article; male cercus otherwise ......................................................................................................... Chelipoda Macquart
