Key to genera and species of
Maimetshidae
1 Forewing cells 2rm and 3rm both present (2rm sometimes incompletely delimited); flagellomere number variable (unknown for
Andyrossia
).................................... 2
– Forewing cells 2rm and 3rm not simultaneously present; 14 flagellomeres ........ 6
2 Second abscissa of RS+M (distal to
1m
–cu) shorter than
1m
–cu .......................... ................................................
Andyrossia joyceae
(Rasnitsyn & Jarzembowski)
– Second abscissa of RS+M (distal to
1m
–cu) subequal to or longer than
1m
–cu ... .............................................................................................................................. 3
3 Notauli strongly diverging cephalad ....................
Afromaimetsha robusta
sp. n.
– Notauli more or less parallel ................................................................................ 4
4 Vein RS originating close to pterostigma (prestigma much shorter than 1RS); prestigma incrassate (swollen apically and broader than basal abscissa of R) ........... ...........................................................................
Maimetshorapia africana
sp. n.
– Vein RS originating well before pterostigma (prestigma about as long as or longer than 1RS); prestigma linear and similar to basal abscissa of R (
Afrapia
gen. n.
) .............................................................................................................................. 5
5 Pterostigma shorter than (about 0.8×) distance between base of RS and 2r–rs ..... .......................................................................................
Afrapia globularis
sp. n.
– Pterostigma as long as or longer than distance between base of RS and 2r–rs ...... ......................................................................................
Afrapia variicornis
sp. n.
6 The only rm cell (2rm) anteriorly petiolate; hind wing with free apex of Cu; vertex without medial longitudinal line; eyes bulging ...................................................... .................................
Guyotemaimetsha enigmatica
Perrichot, Nel & Néradeau
– The only rm cell (apparently 3rm) anteriorly sessile; hind wing without free apex of Cu; vertex with medial longitudinal line; eyes not bulging, almost following head contour ..........................................................
Maimetsha arctica
