Key to world genera of Ceinae

1. Mesosoma with long pronotum, but very short mesoscutum, mesoscutellum and propodeum, the latter very steep; metasoma sessile ( Fig. 1B ); female brachypterous, male unknown; body colour yellowish ( Fig. 1 A–B) ……………………………………………… Bohpa Darling, 1991

– Mesosoma with shorter pronotum, but more elongate mesoscutum, mesoscutellum and propodeum, the latter not steep; metasoma with distinct although usually transverse petiole ( Figs 2E , 3E ); female brachypterous ( Fig. 2B ) or macropterous ( Figs 2A , 3A , 4A ), males macropterous ( Figs 2D , 4E ); body colour usually with distinct metallic reflections ( Figs 2–4 ) …………………2

2. Posterior margin of mesopleuron not expanded posteriorly, not overlapping metapleural/ propodeal complex ( Fig. 2E ); if macropterous, female fore wing with two brown bands ( Fig. 2A ); male antenna with regular pilosity ( Fig. 2D ) ……………………… Cea Walker, 1837

– Posterior margin of mesopleuron expanded posteriorly, clearly overlapping metapleural/ propodeal complex ( Fig. 3E ); if macropterous, female fore wing broadly infumate or hyaline ( Figs 3D , 4D ); male antenna with each funicular segment bearing whorl of long setae ( Fig. 4F ) ………………………………………………………………………… Spalangiopelta Masi, 1922
