1 Medial area of second metasomal tergite wide triangular (Fig. 46 in Austin and Dangerfield 1992); fore wing with two dark patches; scutellum with a slender (in lateral view tooth-like, but in dorsal view obtuse) protuberance posteriorly; height of head 0.5 × height of mesosoma in lateral view; median carina of first tergite 0.3–0.4 × as long as dorsal face of tergite; [metasoma black]; Australian region (Australia: Queensland) Pseudofornicia commoni (Austin & Dangerfield, 1992), comb. n.
- Medial area of second tergite largely subparallel-sided and only anteriorly widened (Figs 3, 23) or vase-shaped (Fig. 13); fore wing without dark patches; scutellum without protuberance, at most with a more or less up curved subposterior rim; height of head 0.6–0.7 × height of mesosoma in lateral view (Figs 1, 11); median carina of first tergite nearly as long as dorsal face of tergite (Figs 3, 13, 23); Oriental region 2
2 Metasoma black dorsally and parallel-sided (Fig. 13); vein m-cu of fore wing about as long as vein 2-SR+M (Fig. 12); apical half of hind tibia dark brown (Figs 11, 15); height of head 0.7 × height of mesosoma in lateral view (Fig. 11); propodeum without elevated medio-basal area (Fig. 13); medial area of second tergite vase-shaped (Fig. 13); median length of third tergite 1.2 × second tergite (Fig. 13); vein cu-a of hind wing nearly straight (Fig. 19) Pseudofornicia nigrisoma van Achterberg & Long, sp. n.
Metasoma brownish-yellow dorsally, at most second and third tergites medially dark brown and roundly narrowed posteriorly (Figs 3, 23); vein m-cu of fore wing shorter than vein 2-SR+M (Figs 2, 22); apical half of hind tibia yellowish brown (Figs 5, 25); height of head 0.6 × height of mesosoma in lateral view (Fig. 1); propodeum with small elevated medio-basal area (Fig. 3); medial area of second tergite largely subparallel-sided and only anteriorly widened (Figs 3, 23); median length of third tergite 1.3–1.5 × second tergite (Figs 3, 23); vein cu-a of hind wing moderately sinuate (Figs 8, 24) 3
3 Head 0.8 × as wide as mesoscutum; anterior half of medial area of second metasomal tergite largely sculptured (especially laterally) and more gradually narrowed posteriorly (Fig. 3); first tergite near median carina hardly depressed and X-shaped groove superficial (Fig. 3, but posteriorly impressed); first discal cell nearly as setose as apical third of fore wing; apical rim of scutellum remaining far below upper level of scutellum; second and third tergites dark brown medially (Fig. 3); third tergite densely finely reticulate medially (Fig. 3) Pseudofornicia flavoabdominis (He & Chen, 1994) comb. n.
- Head 0.9 × as wide as mesoscutum; anterior half of medial area of second metasomal tergite largely smooth, except some punctures laterally and more abruptly narrowed posteriorly (Fig. 23); first tergite near median carina depressed because of distinctly impressed X-shaped groove (Fig. 23); first discal cell less setose than apical third of fore wing; apical rim of scutellum nearly reaching upper level of scutellum (Fig. 29); second and third tergites brownish yellow medially (Fig. 23); third tergite coarser reticulate medially (Fig. 23) Pseudofornicia vanachterbergi Long, nom. n.
