Key to the Palaearctic Aneuropria Kieffer species

1. Notauli absent; median carina of propodeum totally absent ( Figs 2F , 3C , 5B , 6C ); tegula strongly reduced and tiny ( Figs 5B, F , 6A, E ) ............................................................................................. 2

- Notauli present, deep and complete; median carina of propodeum present (as in Fig. 12A, B, E ) at least at base of it ( Fig. 8C ); tegula large even in most brachypterous forms ( Fig. 8D )..................................... A. foersteri (Kieffer)

2. Transscutal suture weakly defined, shallow anterior scutellar pits present ( Figs 2F , 3C ); small ocelli present; all antennomeres of female antennae elongate in dorsal view ( Fig. 2A ); S2 with a bunch of white setae medially at distal margin ( Fig. 2G ); mesopleuron with few weight setae under tegula ( Fig. 2E ).................................... A. bifurcata (Dodd)

- Transscutal suture and anterior scutellar pits totally absent ( Figs 5B , 6A ); ocelli absent; A4−A11 sunquadrate in dorsal view ( Fig. 5E ); S2 without a bunch of setae at distal margin ( Fig. 7B ); mesopleuron with dense weight setose under tegula ( Fig. 5F )............................................................................... A. dentata (Alekseev)
