KEY TO GENERA OF † HOLOPSENELLINAE (MODIFIED FROM ENGEL, 2019) 1. Clypeus with apical margin unmodified; first metasomal tergum without transverse carina.....................2 - Clypeus with apical margin modified and medially emarginate; first metasomal tergum with transverse carina sometimes present [Early Cretaceous (Barremian): Lebanon]...........................................................3 2. Anterior wing margin beyond pterostigma swollen (margin discontinuous); second cubital cell open; pretarsal claws simple (Cenomanian: Myanmar).............................................. Holopsenelliscus Engel, 2019 - Anterior wing margin beyond pterostigma not swollen (margin continuous); second cubital cell closed; pretarsal claws dentate (Santonian: Taimyr amber, Russia).................................. Cretabythus Evans, 1973 3.
