Endnotes
1 Due to lack of information, nalo Christiansen & Bellinger 1992, and schotti Womersley 1935 are not included in the key.
2 Paranura suenoi Yosii 1955 is excluded from Paranura and not included in the key because it has a blue colour, reticulations on the lateral parts of abd.5, and a complete abd.6.
