Key to the males of Oecetis View in CoL species from Mexico, Central and South America
It is recommended that the user of this identification key refer to the original descriptions of species to corroborate species determinations. Because some species of Oecetis show variations, identifications may be difficult using only an identification key. For example, in the O. avara Group, differences among O. avara , O. metlacensis , O. marquesi , O. elata and O. inconspicua are subtle. Furthermore, the structure of membranous tergum X can be difficult to recognize. All characters in this identification key are visible in the lateral view of the male genitalia, except for O. amazonica and O. pseudoamazonica n.sp., in which case characters of wings are used. Oecetis haitises Flint & Sykora (2004) , from Hispaniola ( Dominican Republic), is known only from the female holotype.
