MAGYARORSZÁG HANGYADARAZSAI - VELVET ANTS OF HUNGARY (MUTILLIDAE) 101 17 (16) Mandibles bi- or tridentate. Metasomal segment 1 not conspicuously short, with flat dorsal surface sloping forward more or less at right angle in lateral view (Fig. 71). Metasomal tergite 2 with narrow posterior band of white pubescence undivided or divided into 2 spots. Metasomal tergite 3 with white pubescence covering whole surface, undivided or divided into 2 spots. 18 (19) Metasomal tergite 6 without pygidium (Fig. 56). Metasomal tergite 2 with posterior band interrupted medially so divided into 2 spots. Mandibles tridentate Mutilla 19 (18) Metasomal tergite 6 with pygidium (Fig. 58). Metasomal tergite 2 with posterior band interrupted twice, so divided into 3 spots. Mandibles bidentate Ronisia 20 (15) Metasomal tergite 2 with 1, 2 or 3 spots of pale pubescence. 21 (22) Metasomal tergite 2 spots. Pygidium well developed, with longitudinal linear or irregular wrinkles, and finely granulate or smooth only at apex (3.3rd tribe: Trogaspidiini) Trogaspidia 22 (21) Metasomal tergite 2 with 1 or 3 spots (3.2nd tribe: Smicromyrmini). 23 (24) Anterior angle of mesosoma with vertical carina showing small forward directing denticle in dorsal view. Mesosoma subequal in length and width, its anterior part distinctly wider than posterior part (Fig. 168) Dentil/a 24 (23) Anterior angle of mesosoma not showing small forward directing denticle in dorsal view. Mesosoma at least slightly longer than broad, its anterior part barely wider than posterior part. 25 (26) Pygidium narrowing toward base (Figs 133-135), lateral margin of posterior half weakly developed. Scutellar scale well-developed, wide, more or less fingernail-like (Fig. 52) Physetopoda 26 (25) Sides of pygidium more or less parallel or widening toward base, lateral margin of posterior half well-developed. 27 (28) Pygidium broadly oval, lesst than 2* longer than broad, at posterior fourth nearly as wide as basally (Fig. 132). Scutellar scale well-developed, wide, more or less fingernail-like (Fig. 51) Nemka 28 (27) Pygidium elongate, about 2x longer than broad, sides widening toward base. (Figs 137-142). Scutellar scale narrow (Fig. 53). 29 (30) Anterior spot of pale pubescence on metasomal tergite 2 not enlarged, distance between this spot and posterior band of pubescence longer than diameter of spot Smicromyrme 30 (29) Anterior spot of pale pubescence on metasomal tergite 2 enlarged, distance between this spot and posterior band of pubescence as long as or shorter than diameter of spot.
