Key to the species of Alujamyia

1 Wing ( Norrbom 2006, figs 14–16) with subcostal band from pterostigma to base of cell m 4; distal margin of discal band arising at or close to apex of pterostigma; subapical band slightly oblique, more or less parallel to crossvein dm–m, anteriorly more distal than posteriorly, connected anteriorly to complete anterior and posterior apical bands; setae dark brown to black (Greater Antilles).................2

– Wing ( Figs 7, 8; Norrbom 2006, figs 12, 13, 17, 18) without subcostal band; discal band more proximal, its distal margin arising closer to base of pterostigma; subapical band curving anterobasally or more or less aligned anteriorly and posteriorly, sometimes separated from anterior apical band; posterior apical band often absent or incomplete; setae orange to orange brown ( Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica)..........................................................................................................3

2 Anterior apical and posterior apical bands not connected posteriorly, hyaline area between them reaching posterior wing margin ( Norrbom 2006, fig. 14); scutellum with pair of dark brown lateral marks not extending beyond midlength, and pair of separate, weaker spots on disk near midlength ( Norrbom 2006, fig. 29); scutum with 0–2 pairs of pale to moderate brown vittae ( Cuba, Jamaica) ....................... ....................................................................................................... farri Norrbom

– Anterior apical and posterior apical apical bands connected posteriorly, hyaline spot or spots between them isolated from posterior wing margin ( Norrbom 2006, figs 15, 16); scutellum with 2 large dark brown lateral marks, covering at least basal 0.75 of side and lateral third of disk ( Norrbom 2006, figs 6, 10); scutum with 2 pairs of dark brown vittae (Hispaniola, Puerto Rico) ..... isolata Norrbom

3 Wing with subbasal, discal and subapical bands narrow, subbasal band yellow and often difficult to observe, discal band not covering crossvein bm–m ( Fig. 7; Norrbom 2006, figs 12, 13); posterior apical band, if present, not connected to subapical band; scutellum sparsely setulose on margins; scutum with 0–1 pair of dark brown vittae ( Norrbom 2006, fig. 5) ( Mexico: Colima, Guerrero, Veracruz; Costa Rica).................................................................................... bella Norrbom

– Wing with subbasal, discal and subapical bands broad, subbasal band mostly brown, discal band covering much or all of crossvein bm–m ( Fig. 8; Norrbom 2006, figs 17, 18); scutellum without setulae; scutal marking variable..............4

4 Scutum ( Norrbom 2006, figs 7, 8) with 3 pairs of dark brown vittae or spots; scutellum with brown basal markings laterally and dorsally; wing with anterior apical band reduced to apical spot, not connected to subapical band anteriorly ( Norrbom 2006, figs 17, 18); posterior apical band broadly connected anteriorly to subapical band, short, posteriorly not extended to vein M 4 ( Guatemala, Mexico: Guerrero, Quintana Roo) ....................................................... sexvittata Norrbom

– Scutum ( Fig. 5) without brown markings; scutellum ( Figs 3, 4) with brown basal mark only laterally; wing with anterior apical band complete, connected to subapical band anteriorly ( Fig. 8); posterior apical band very narrowly connected to subapical band along vein R 4+5, extended from vein R 4+5 to posterior wing margin or interrupted in cell r 4+5 ( Costa Rica)....................... octopuncta Norrbom , n. sp.
