ASAPHINAE (part) (p. 77) 



- Genae without a sharp edge except sometimes near the mandibles, in which

ASAPHINAE (part) (p. 77) 



- Either the postmarginal vein of the fore wing is at least slightly longer than the 



marginal vein ; or else the antennae are inserted level with or above the 

 ventral edge of the eyes. Antennal formula sometimes otherwise. An- 

 terior margin of clypeus often with a tooth or teeth ..... 24 



24 (23) Antennae lacking clearly differentiated anelli, or with only one anellus . . 25

25 (24) Males only : either petiole and base of gaster reddish ; or pedicellus (Text- 



fig. 42) with a comb of outstanding hairs beneath, and genae with some 

 conspicuously long hairs. Scutellum tapering forwards to a point . . 49 



- Females, or males not having the above characters [Brachyelatus (p. 92) ; 



some male Torymidae, and some non-European Miscogasterinae 

 (Brachyscelidiphagini)] 



26 (24) Fore wing with postmarginal vein at least slightly longer than the marginal 



vein ............. 27 



- Fore wing with postmarginal vein not longer than the marginal vein . . 29 



27 (26) Postspiracular sclerite narrow ; clypeus wholly strigose [Only a very few 



species would run out here] . . . PTEROMALINAE (part) (p. 352) 



- Postspiracular sclerite large and broad ; clypeus either mainly to entirely 



reticulate, or smooth ......... 28 



28 (27) Occiput margined, at least medially ....... 50 



Occiput not margined .... MISCOGASTERINAE (part) (p. 95) 



29 (26) Anterior margin of clypeus with three asymmetric teeth (Text-fig. 44), or 



with two teeth of which the left-hand one is more or less bifid (Text-fig. 43) 



MISCOGASTERINAE (part) (p. 95) 



- Anterior margin of clypeus either edentate or, if teeth are present, they are 



neither asymmetrically placed nor bifid ...... 30 



30 (29) Petiole of gaster strongly sculptured, reticulate or strigose, often more or less 



rectangular, or longer than broad . . MISCOGASTERINAE (part) (p. 95) 



- Petiole of gaster smooth or nearly so, usually more or less transverse though 



sometimes as long as broad . . . . . . . .31 



31 (30) Antennae inserted low down, their toruli not or hardly above the level of the 



ventral edge of the eyes, 11263. Clypeus without, or with at most some 



vague, striae MISCOGASTERINAE (part) (p. 95) 



Either the antennae are inserted distinctly above the level of the ventral edge 

 of the eyes ; or else their formula is 11353 ; or the clypeus has numerous 

 radiating striae ........... 32 



32 (31) Either the clypeus is mainly striate ; or its anterior margin has a tooth, or 



two lobes PTEROMALINAE (part) (p. 352) 



- Clypeus not striate, its anterior margin without teeth .... 52 



33 (1) Face and/or frons with a crest or tubercle on each side (see Text-fig. 47) ; or 



the outer edges of the deep antennal scrobes are raised to form crests . . 47 



- Face and frons without crests or tubercles, the interantennal tubercle, which 



is sometimes carinate, is not counted ; outer edges of antennal scrobes not 

 crested, the scrobes often shallow ....... 34
