Key to species of Oriental
Ulonemia
1. Costal area biseriate at widest part............................................ ..
Ulonemia malaccae
(
Drake, 1942
)
- Costal area uniformly uniseriate in its length................................................................2
2. Hood moderately inflated, globular or semi-globular in dorsal view, distinctly produced anteriorly; rostrum reaching to posterior margin of mesosternum, or to middle of metasternum but not to posterior margin of metasternum................... 3
- Hood small, not globular or semi-globular, slightly produced anteriorly, subtruncate; rostrum extending almost to end of sulcus.................................................................................................... 6
3. Hood relatively large, posteriorly reaching near middle of pronotal disc, noticeably higher than median carina (
Figs. 10
,
14
); paranota moderately broad, triseriate opposite calli, biseriate opposite humeri, areolae relatively large (
Fig. 14
); costal area moderately broad, as wide as subcostal area.............................................
U. magna
sp. nov.
(
Fig. 6
)
- Hood relatively small, posteriorly produced, scarcely reaching pronotal disc, or posteriorly extending between calli, slightly higher than median carina (
Figs. 11–13
); paranota narrow, biseriate opposite calli, uniseriate opposite humeri, areolae relatively small; costal area relatively narrow, and narrower than subcostal area.......................................4
4. Hemelytra relatively narrow, nearly as wide as pronotum (
Fig. 5
); hood rather small, semi-globular in dorsal view, four to five areolae long, posteriorly extending between calli (
Figs. 9
,
13
); rostrum reaching to posterior margin of mesosternum (
Fig. 17
); most areolae of costal area lengthwise subquadrate......................................
U. angusta
sp. nov.
(
Fig. 5
)
- Hemelytra relatively broad, wider than pronotum (
Figs. 1–3
); hood relatively large, globular in dorsal view, six to seven areolae long, posteriorly produced, scarcely reaching pronotal disc (
Figs. 11, 12
); rostrum distinctly extending beyond to posterior margin of mesosternum (
Figs. 15, 16
); areolae of costal area widthwise subquadrate................................ 5
5. Lateral carinae not parallel at pronotal posterior process and anteriorly converging (
Fig. 7
); inferior margins of bucculae nearly straight (
Fig. 11
); female paratergite VIII distinctly produced backwards towards lateral margin of paratergite IX (
Fig. 19
)......................................................................
U. assamensis
(
Distant, 1903a
)
(
Figs. 1, 2
)
- Lateral carinae nearly parallel at pronotal posterior process (
Fig. 8
); inferior margins of bucculae broadly arched (
Fig. 12
); female paratergite VIII not produced backwards towards lateral margin of paratergite IX (
Fig. 20
).......................................................................................................
U. jingae
sp. nov.
(
Fig. 3
)
6. Paranota mostly biseriate, uniseriate opposite humeri; body relatively broad, length/width: 3.05/1.0..............................................................................................
U. dignata
(
Drake and Poor, 1937
)
- Paranota biseriate in front, extremely narrow and not areolate opposite humeri; body relatively narrow, length/width: 3.45/1.0..........................................................................
U. electa
(
Drake and Poor, 1937
