Key to genera of Polysphinctini

1 Clypeus not separated from face by a groove or furrovs; ovipositor short, curved upwards ( fig. 32d ) ................................................................... Schizopyga (GRAVENHORST)

- Clypeus separated from face by a furrovs; ovipositor long, not curved upwards................2

2 Abdominal tergites II. and IV. with a pair of rounded convexities (fig. 33); ovipositor sheat 3-4 times as long as apical height of abdomen............ Polysphincta (GRAVENHORST)

- Abdominal tergites II. and IV. obligue furrows delimiting a central rhombic area with transverseimpressions or nearly smooth ( fig. 34b ); ovipositor sheat 2 times as long as apical height of abdomen...................................................................................................3

3 Abdominal tergites II-IV with deep oblique furrows delimiting a large rhombic central area ( fig. 34b ); mesoscutum not pubescent or its centre partly pubescent; thorax brown, ovipositor sheat 1/5 times as lonh as metatibiae, last tarsomere not strongly enlarged......... ............................................................................................................ Zatypota (FOERSTER)

- Abdominal tergites II-IV almost smooth, with weak oblique impressions beyond the middle; mesoscutum densely pubescent; thorax completely black, ovipositor sheat 1/3 times as long as metatibiae; last tarsomere strongly enlarged ( fig. 35b )............................... ...................................................................................................
