Key to the genera of Rhinaulacini from southern Asia

1 Hind wing with Rs and M reduced and jointly united with R near midlength of wing, i.e. with two closed apical cells (see Liang, 1996a: figure 1); subgenital plate with strongly incurved apical process (see Liang, 1996a: figure 2)... Eoscarta Breddin

⎯ Hind wing with Rs and M extending independently to apex of wing, united only by a cross-vein near midlength of wing, i.e., with four apical cells (figure 15); subgenital plate with or without strongly incurved apical process......... 2

2 Hind wing with the cross vein m⎯cu meeting Cu1a after Cu1a/Cu1b bifurcation and the basal half of Cu1b strongly arched against Cu2 (see Liang, 1993: figure 7); aedeagal shaft robust (figure 11); subgenital plate with a strongly incurved apical process...................... Paracercopis Schmidt

⎯ Hind wing with m⎯cu cross vein meeting Cu1a before Cu1a/Cu1b bifurcation and the basal half of Cu1b relatively straight and remote from Cu2; aedeagal shaft elongate (figure 2) or if robust subgenital plate without a strongly incurved apical process.. 3

3 Hind wing with bifurcation of Cu1a/Cu1b near m⎯cu cross vein (see Liang, 1994a: figures 1, 2); aedeagal shaft robust (see Liang, 1994a: figure 7). Paracercopoides Liang

⎯ Hind wing with bifurcation of Cu1a/Cu1b distal of m⎯cu cross vein (figure 15); aedeagal shaft elongate (figure 6)............... 4

4 Fore wings with Rs branched apically (figure 20); aedeagal shaft very elongate with filiform coiled or sinuate distal half (figures 6, 26, 31)... Circulocercopis gen. nov.

⎯ Fore wings with Rs not branched apically (figures 14, 16, 18); aedeagal shaft not as above..................... 5

5 Aedeagal shaft (figure 12) with a pair of apical, long, needle-like spines........................ Asiacercopis Liang

⎯ Aedeagal shaft without apical spines.............. 6

6 Male pygofer long (figure 2); subgenital plates lanceolate, caliper-like, basally narrow with membranous outer margin (figures 34, 35, 41, 42); small to moderately large species, length 5⎯8 mm ........... Kanozata Matsumura

⎯ Male pygofer short (figure 59); subgenital plates not as above; small species, length 4.5⎯5.8 mm................ Sounama Distant
