Key to the Madagascar
Orphninae
genera (both sexes)
1. Protibiae with 2 outer teeth apically and 1 much smaller outer tooth basally (
Fig. 7
D)...........
Pseudorphnus
Benderitter
- Protibiae with 3 outer teeth in apical half (
Figs. 10
H, 30C, 28F).................................................2
2. Body length smaller (usually less than
7 mm
); lateral margin of pronotum with 4 long setae: 2 near anterior margin,
1 in
the middle, and 1 near posterior margin; some or all these setae may be abraded, but 4 chaetiferous punctures are always distinct; left and right mandibles may differ strongly in length in males, and frontoclypeus is somewhat asymmetrical in such cases; disc of pronotum smooth, without processes or excavations..................................
Madecorphnus
Paulian
- Body length larger (usually longer than
7 mm
); lateral margin of pronotum with numerous setae (at least more than 10) evenly distributed along the margin, setae may differ strongly in length; left and right mandibles of about same length, frontoclypeus symmetrical; disc of pronotum may be with more-or-less developed tubercles, ridges, and excavations in males........... 3
3. Eyes smaller (width of eye in dorsal view more than 7 times smaller than distance between eyes); propleurae with a longitudinal ridge bearing a row of setae parallel to lateral margin of pronotum; disc of pronotum with more-or-less developed tubercles, ridges, and excavations in males, and smooth in females; apical outer tooth of protibia in males directed laterally, at reasonable angle to internal margin of tibia (
Fig. 30
C).......................................
Triodontus
Westwood
- Eyes larger (width of eye in dorsal view less than 4 times smaller than distance between eyes); propleurae without a longitudinal ridge, only with a sparser row of setae; disc of pronotum with 2 feebly developed tubercles in middle or without tubercles; apical outer tooth of protibia almost parallel to internal margin of tibia (
