Key to the species of Baibarana

1. Vertex and pronotum ( Figures 1 , 27 ) each with two rufous transverse bands; subgenital plates ( Figure 64 ) with expanded basal region relatively large and elongate with apical process very short; aedeagal shaft ( Figure 68 ) with expanded subapical region elongate; Vietnam........ rufofasciata sp. nov.

– Vertex and pronotum without transverse bands; male genitalia not as above.. 2

2. Vertex and pronotum uniformly olivaceous yellow. Subgenital plates ( Figures 40, 42 ) with expanded basal region broad in ventral view, with apical spine-like process short and stout, directed anterodorsally.......... 3

– Vertex and pronotum not uniformly olivaceous yellow. Subgenital plates ( Figures 51 , 56 ) with expanded basal region small and narrow in ventral view, with apical spine-like process elongate, directed medially or posteriorly... 4

3. Small species, length „ 4.0–4.2 mm; Vietnam (northern part).. bicolor sp. nov.

– Relatively large species, length „ 4.8–5.0 mm, ♀ 4.6–5.0 mm; Taiwan...................... uchidai Matsumura

4. Subgenital plates ( Figures 56, 57 ) with apical spine-like process elongate, more or less straight, each plate lying nearly parallel to each other and well separated; Laos and Thailand............... longispina sp. nov.

– Subgenital plates ( Figures 51, 53 ) with apical spine-like process moderately long, directed medially and sinuate in lateral view, plates overlaid apically in ventral view; Vietnam................ sinuata sp. nov.
