Description

Key to extant and extinct genera of family Nosodendridae (modified from Tihelka et al. 2021a)

1. Prosternum in front coxae extremely shortened, shorter than the half length of prosternal process; lateral portions of prosternum separated from the medial portion by a complete boundary, distinctly lowered for the reception of protrochanters and -femora (Fig. 1)............................................................................................. 2

- Prosternum in front coxae not extremely shortened, longer than the half length of prosternal process; lateral and medial portions of prosternum never separated by a complete boundary (Figs 4C, 8D, 11D, 12D, 18D).............................. 3

2. Loose antennal club consisting of three segments. Body length 4.0–10.0 mm.................... Nosodendron Latreille

- Compact antennal club consisting of two segments, with the basalmost antennomere strongly transverse. Body length typically 2.3–2.8 mm........................................................................... Nosoglobulus Háva

3. Tarsomeres 2–4 wide, distinctly lobed ventrally (Fig. 18G–I)................................ Mesonosa Tihelka et al.

- Tarsomeres 2–4 slender, not distinctly lobed ventrally (Figs 4G–K, 8I, 11H–I, 14G–I, 16F)........................... 4

4. Body large, longer than 10 mm. Antennal grooves on prosternum complete (figs 1B, 4A in Tihelka et al. 2021a)............................................................................................ Basinosa Tihelka et al.

- Body smaller, shorter than 5 mm. Antennal grooves on prosternum incomplete (Figs 8D, 11D)............................................................................................ Archaenosodendron Li & Cai gen. nov.
