Sodreaninae Soares & Soares, 1985

Key to the genera of Sodreaninae (sensu Kury et al. 2022)

1. Pedipalps extremely elongate in both sexes, with tibia-tarsus forming a subchela............ Sodreana Mello-Leit ã o, 1922

1’. Pedipalps of normal length, tibia-tarsus not forming a subchela................................................. 2

2. Free tergite III of male with small to moderate spiniform apophysis, shorter than all free tergites taken together........... 3

2’. Free tergite III of male unarmed (not to be confused with the strong armature in the free tergite II of Heliella singularis B. Soares, 1945 )........................................................................................ 4

3. Groove between scutal areas II and III straight, so that area III does not invade area II; posterior border of scutum straight.............................................. Friburgoia Mello-Leit ã o, 1932 (incl. Urodiabunus Mello-Leit ã o, 1935)

3’. Groove between scutal areas II and III strongly arched, so that area III clearly invades area II; posterior border of scutum clearly concave....................................................................... Titanoleptes gen. nov. (part.)

4. Armature of scutal area III strongly sexually dimorphic, with a pair of huge fusiform cones in females and small tubercles in males; Fe I–III without yellow granules................... Cadeadoius Mello-Leit ã o, 1936 / Heliella B. Soares, 1945 /etc.

4’. Armature of scutal area III monomorphic, either a pair of small granules or small acuminate tubercles in both sexes; Fe I–III covered with row of sharply contrasting yellow granules................................ Titanoleptes gen. nov. (part.)
