Key to the males of Xenochilicola

1. Metasomal terga with yellow bands (Fig. 5 and 7) (may be interrupted at middle, and may be narrow and not reaching the lateral margins on the more posterior terga); S5 with long apical bilobed process on each side, outer lobe shorter and hairy, inner lobe longer and glabrous (Fig. 14); malar area longer than mandible width at base (Fig. 2) ...................................................................................................................... X. diminuta

­ Metasomal terga without yellow bands (Figs. 4 and 6) (marginal zones of terga with brown band); S5 with apical margin hairy and concave but without apical process on each side ( Fig. 18 ); malar area not longer than mandible width at base (Figs.1 and 3).. .......................................................................................................................................2

2. Head in frontal view nearly as long as wide (1:1, Fig. 1); mesoscutum and mesoscutellum punctate­reticulate (i<<d); S7 with postero­lateral margin of apical lobe concave

( Fig. 10 ); S8 with strong, slender apical process, hairy at apex ( Fig. 11 ) .... X.mamigna ­ Head in frontal view slightly longer than wide (1:1.1, Fig. 3), mesoscutum punctate (i~d on disk, i<d medially) and mesoscutellum (i=d) irregularly punctate; S7 with apical lobe entire( Fig. 19 ); S8 with short, glabrous apical process ( Fig.20 ) ....................... .......................................................................................................
