Key to species of
Coelioxoides
[Modified from Roig-Alsina (1990)]
1 Forewing with a hyaline band extending from the apex of marginal cell to at least the apex of second medial cell (
Fig. 3A
). Females: S6 apex bifid (
Fig. 3B
). Males: S6 disc covered with pale, subappressed, and plumose hairs................... 2
- Forewing with an elliptical hyaline spot beyond the apex of marginal cell (
Fig. 3C
). Females: S6 apex cylindrical, subacute (
Fig. 3D
). Males: S6 disc covered with brownish, subappressed, and plumose hairs................................. 3
2 Gena, lateral margins of scutellum, metanotum, and propodeum (
Fig. 4A
) with conspicuous patches of pale pubescence. Apical fasciae of metasomal terga with pale, plumose hairs. Second abscissa of M+Cu of hindwing 4–4.5 times as long as cu-v. Females: S5 with a discrete ridge medially, never carinate (
Fig. 4B
). Males: S4–S5 apical margins slightly concave, with dense fringes of brown, long, curved apically hairs (
Fig. 4C
) (Brazil).......................
Coelioxoides piscicauda
sp. nov.
- Gena, lateral margins of scutellum, metanotum, and propodeum (
Fig. 4D
) with inconspicuous pale and/or dark brown pubescence. Apical fasciae of metasomal terga indistinct, narrow to absent. Second abscissa of M+Cu of hindwing 6 times as long as cu-v. Females: S5 carinate medially (
Fig. 4E
). Males: S4–S5 apical margins projected medially into hairy, pointed triangle processes (
Fig. 4F
) (South America)...............................................
Coelioxoides exulans
(Holmberg)
3 Gena with dense patch of pale pubescence along eye. Scutellum with dense, conspicuous patches of pale pubescence on lateral margins (
Fig. 5A
). Apical fascia on T1 uniform or narrowed medially. Depression before pronotal lobe oval, 2–2.75 times as long as broad (
Fig. 5B
). Males: S4–S5 apical margins with dense fringes of brown, curved apically hairs (
Fig. 5C
); Apical processes of T7 hidden by long, dark drown pubescence (

,
Central America
)........
Coelioxoides punctipennis
Cresson
- Gena with scattered brownish hairs along eye. Scutellum with inconspicuous patches of blackish pubescence or few pale hairs on lateral margins (
Fig. 5D
). Apical fascia on T1 enlarged medially. Depression before pronotal lobe elongate, 4–4.5 times as long as broad (
Fig. 5E
). Males: S4–S5 apical margins with inconspicuous fringes of brown, straight hairs, barely surpassing apical margin of sterna (
Fig. 5F
); Apical processes of T7 exposed, never hidden by dark brown pubescence (South America).............................................................................
