Key to Oulopteryx species

1. Relatively large (body length> 12 mm); pronotum elliptical; pronotum, supra-anal plate and elytra without setae; pattern of hind-wing cross venation between R and M roughly parallel; interocular space roughly similar to inter-antennal space; styli half as long as distance between styli, cerci short and stout … O. illuminata Evangelista & Legendre sp. nov.

2. Relatively small (body length <12 mm); pronotum nearly circular; pronotum, lateral margin of elytra and caudal margin of supra-anal plate setose; pattern of hind-wing cross venation between R and M tortuous for a few veins; interocular space distinctly smaller than inter-antennal space; styli length 1/3 of distance between styli; cerci relatively long and slender … O. meliponarum Hebard (1921)
