Key to New World genera of
Odiniidae
Following is a key to all odiniid genera in the New World. Nearctic genera not known from the Neotropical Region are indicated with brackets []. The two species of
Helgreelia
,
gen. nov.
, are also differentiated in the key.
1. Posterior ocelli in front of line between medial vertical setae; ocelli usually arranged in isosceles tri- angle with distance between posterior pair conspicuously less than between either posterior ocellus and anterior ocellus; frons usually relatively arched (sometimes conspicuously tuberculate); scutel- lar disc sometimes setulose; in profile, face and frons more or less in line or sloping; TRAGINOPI- NAE.....................................................................................................................................................3
- Posterior ocelli in line with medial vertical setae; ocelli arranged in equilateral triangle or with dis- tance between posterior pair greater than between either posterior ocellus and anterior ocellus; frons flat to slightly concave; scutellar disc bare; in profile, face distinctly angulate with frons at antennal insertion;
