1. Metatarsal claw with large acute basal lobe or secondary tooth ( Figs. 2 View FIGURE 2 D, 4D); sculpture of mesoscutum and mesopleuron strongly and coarsely rugose; notauli complete or slightly faint in anterior one third of mesoscutum, crossed by transversal sculpture ( Figs. 1 View FIGURE 1 C, 3D); median area of propodeum sculptured and pubescent ( Figs. 1 View FIGURE 1 F, 3F). Metasomal tergites with micropuntures ( Figs. 2 View FIGURE 2 H, 3E). Forewing strongly infuscate or with smoky area in radial cell ( Figs. 7 View FIGURE 7 C, 7E). Galls globose or spindle-shaped on twigs ( Figs. 8 View FIGURE 8 A, 8D).................................................................... 2

- Metatarsal claws simple ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 G), without basal lobe or tooth; sculpture of mesoscutum and mesopleuron weaker; notauli traceable only in posterior one third, deep, broad and smooth ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 C); median propodeal area smooth and glabrous ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 E). Metasomal tergites without micropunctures ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 H). Forewing almost hyaline, only slightly smoked ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 H). Galls spherical, on leaves ( Fig. 8 View FIGURE 8 G)........................................................................... A. salicifoliae

2. Notauli complete, slightly faint along coarse surface of anterior one third of mesoscutum; posteriorly narrow and slightly convergent ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 C); scutellum deeply emarginate at the posterior margin ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 C); scutellar foveae ellipsoid, with well defined posterior margins. Posterior 1/3 of T2 with a band of well-visible micropunctures ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 H); forewing very heavily and entirely smoky, except clear and wide band extending across wing from radial cell to ventral margin ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 C). Gall globose, oak apple type, with inner structure soft, juicy ( Figs. 8 View FIGURE 8 B, 8C) ............................ ................................................................................................................................................ Amphibolips castroviejoi

- Notauli complete and broad; posteriorly broader and strongly convergent ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 D); scutellum only slightly emarginate at the posterior margin; scutellar foveae relatively larger, with straight anterior margins and faint posterior margins ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 D). Posterior 1/3 of T2 with a band of hardly visible micropunctures; forewing only slightly smoked, with a large brown patch at the base of the radial cell ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 E). Gall spindle-shaped ( Fig. 8 View FIGURE 8 D–E) ............................. ....................................................................................................................................................... Amphibolips aliciae .
