discussion
Existing identification keys (Lang 1948; Coull 1973; Willen 1996; Wells 2007) are either out of date or unsound due to misinterpretations or observational errors (see footnotes in Table 2). A new key is presented below which, in the absence of male information for most species, is inevitably based on female characters only. Single male specimens have so far been reported on only four occasions: Pseudomesochra gemina (Coull 1973; Willen 1996), P. perplexa (Bodin 1968), and Keraia tamara (Smirnov, 1946) (Smirnov 1946).
