Key to species of Inoma View in CoL

1. Dorsum with major setiferous tubercles only, each tubercle with minute seta, barely evident; cream and red-brown colour banding pattern ( Fig. 2 View Fig ). .................................... ........................................................................................ I. multispinosa Hacker, 1927 View in CoL

- Dorsum with setiferous tubercles intermixed with woolly or scale-like setae (e.g., Figs. 1-2 View Fig View Fig ); minor or major setiferous tubercles, if major then setae evident; without colour banding (e.g., Figs. 1-2 View Fig View Fig ). ............................................................................................. 2

2. Body with short, flattened, scale-like setae, thick, lanceolate-shaped, sparsely distributed on head and pronotum, absent from hemelytra ( Fig. 1 View Fig ); paranota biseriate ( Fig. 1 View Fig ); costal area uniseriate ( Fig. 1 View Fig ); medial cephalic spine forked at apex. ..... I. breviseta sp. nov.

- Body with elongate, woolly setae ( Fig. 1 View Fig ); setae not strongly flattened, at most very slightly flattened, densely distributed on head and pronotum, always present on hemelytra, even if only very sparsely so; costal area either uniseriate or biseriate; medial cephalic spine undivided apically. .............................................................................. 3

3. Paranotal (e.g., Fig. 7d View Fig ) and costal areas uniseriate (e.g., Fig. 7e View Fig ). ............................ 4

- Paranotal (e.g., Fig. 5d View Fig ) and costal areas biseriate (e.g., Fig. 5e View Fig ). .............................. 7

4. Minor setiferous tubercles present on pronotum and hemelytra, setae much longer than tuberculate base and recurved (e.g., Figs. 4 View Fig , 6 View Fig ). ......................................................... 5

- Major setiferous tubercles present on pronotum and hemelytra moderately elongate; setae as long or longer than spine base and usually straight (e.g., Figs. 5 View Fig , 7-9 View Fig View Fig View Fig ). ......... 6

5. Setae short, arcuate ( Fig. 6d View Fig ); labium short, reaching mesocoxae; abdominal venter dark brown with short, clavate, scale-like setae ( Fig. 6f View Fig ). ............... I. innamincka sp. nov.

- Setae elongate, curly ( Fig. 4d View Fig ); labium elongate, reaching abdomen; abdominal venter light brown with elongate, straight, hair-like setae ( Fig. 4h View Fig ). ........ I. arrernte sp. nov.

6. Small size (<2.5 mm); pronotal callar region of medium brown colour ( Fig. 2 View Fig ); costal area uniformly uniseriate, cells large and subquadrate ( Figs. 8e,f View Fig ). ............................... ....................................................................................................... I. silveirae sp. nov.

- Medium size (mostly> 2.5 mm); pronotal callar region of dark brown colour ( Fig. 1 View Fig ); costal area mostly uniseriate ( Fig. 7e View Fig ), biseriate sub-distally, adjacent to junction of hypocostal and cubital veins, cells large but more irregular in shape ( Fig. 7e View Fig ). ............ ........................................................................................................ I. kalbarri sp. nov.

7. Cephalic spines moderately elongate, with stout base ( Fig. 9a View Fig ); frontal cephalic spine at most a little longer than AI ( Fig. 9a View Fig ); occipital cephalic spines outwardly curved, not reaching lateral margin of eyes ( Fig. 9a View Fig ); setiferous tubercles on hemelytral veins elongate (longer than on costal margins), with fine setae longer than spine base, folded inwardly ( Fig. 9e View Fig ). ............................................................................... I. stysi sp. nov.

- Cephalic spines greatly elongate, with slender base (e.g., Fig. 5a View Fig ); frontal spines elongate ( Fig. 5a View Fig ), subequal in length to AI + AII; occipital spines strongly curved outwardly, reaching lateral margins of eyes (e.g., Fig. 5a View Fig ). .......................................................... 8

8. Setiferous tubercles on pronotal carinae very short, densely distributed in opposing rows, shorter than those on paranota ( Fig. 2 View Fig ); abdominal venter with elongate, pale, straight, hair-like setae. ................................................................................... I. solusa sp. nov.

- Setiferous tubercles on pronotal carinae moderately elongate, sparsely distributed in a single row, same length as those on paranota ( Fig. 5d View Fig ); abdominal venter with short, clavate, scale-like setae ( Fig. 5h View Fig ). ................................................... I. fuscata sp. nov.
