Key to species of Myoleja Rondani

1. Posteroapical extension of cell bcu very long, over twice as long as crossvein BM­Cu; posterior apical wing band absent................. M. megaloba Hardy [ Papua New Guinea]

­ Posteroapical extension of cell bcu normal length, slightly shorter to slightly longer than crossvein BM­Cu; posterior apical wing band distinctly present in addition to anterior apical band....................................................................................................... 2

2. Mediotergite yellow brown; abdominal tergites 2–4 each with pair of large transverse spots ........................................................ M. boninensis (Ito) [Ryukyu Is., Japan]

­ Mediotergite largely dark brown; abdominal tergites 2–4 entirely yellow brown ........ 3

3. Anterior and posterior apical bands connected to subapical band to form F­shaped mark, separated from radial­medial band........................................................................ .......................................................... M. lucida (Fallén) [Northern and Central Europe]

­ Anterior apical band clearly separated from subapical and posterior apical bands; anterior apical, radial­medial, and subcostal bands connected to form S­shaped mark ( Figs. 4, 5 ) .............................................................................................................................. 4

4. Radial­medial and subapical bands separated or slightly connected posteriorly ( Figs. 2, 3 ) ........................... M. korneyevi Han and Kütük, n. sp. [ Turkey, Russian Caucasus]
