Key to species of Ooderella based on males

1 Flagellum with fl2 and fl3 at most about twice as long as wide (Figs 208, 209); funiculars with elongate mps extending most of length of funicular (Fig. 209); clava about equal in length to apical three funiculars (Fig. 208); tegula white (Figs 210, 211) [Afrotropical].................................................................. Ooderella platyscapus n. sp.

- Flagellum with fl2 and fl3 more than three times as long as wide (Figs 85, 104, 131); funiculars with at least two or three overlapping rows of mps (Figs 85, 105) or mps with long, apically free portion so as to superficially appear as setae projecting from funiculars at acute angle (Fig. 132); clava about equal in length to apical two funiculars (Figs 85, 104, 131); tegula dark [New World]..............................................................................................2

2(1) Flagellum with mps having long, apically free portion so as to superficially appear to lack longitudinal mps but have long, straight to slightly curved setae projecting from flagellomere at acute angle (Fig. 132); mesoscutum comparatively shallowly reticulate to coriaceous-reticulate (Figs 133, 134).................................... Ooderella spinositegula n. sp.

- Flagellum with numerous, dense, longitudinal mps in multiple rows per flagellomere, but otherwise superficially bare with only sparse, minute, inconspicuous setae projecting from flagellomere (Figs 85, 104, 105); mesoscutum more strongly meshlike reticulate (Figs 87, 107).............................................................................3

3(2) Antenna with scape and pedicel similarly dark as flagellum (Figs 83, 85); scrobal depression transversely O-shaped but not extending to inner orbits so variably distinct parascrobal regions differentiated, and at most with comparatively obscure mediolongitudinal sulcus (Fig. 81); all femora and tibiae mostly brown or at most only metatibia more or less uniformly brownishyellow (Fig. 83)..................................................................... Ooderella setosa n. sp.

- Antenna with scape and pedicel yellow to brownish-yellow, but distinctly lighter than flagellum (Figs 103, 104); scrobal depression transversely Π-shaped to inner orbits so that distinct parascrobal regions not differentiated but with distinct, lightercolored, mediolongitudinal sulcus (Fig. 101); legs mostly much paler beyond coxae, more yellowish to brownish-yellow except for brown metafemur (Fig. 103)..............................................
