Key to Australian Syllophopsis species
The following key to Australian Syllophopsis is based on Heterick (2001)[1] with modifications by Brian Heterick and Steve Shattuck.
1
- Promesonotum distinctly humped, mesopleuron shining with little or no sculpturing => Syllophopsis australica
- Promesonotum flattened posteriad, mesopleuron and lateral surfaces of propodeum usually microreticulate => 2
2
- Mesopleuron shining and unsculptured (series from Cannon Vale, Qld) => Undescribed species
- Mesopleuron matt and microreticulate => possibly Syllophopsis sechellensis but identification needs confirmation
