Info

This key covers all known northern European species of Acaenitinae, several of which are either very rare or possibly extinct. It is mainly based on dichotomous keys and descriptions found in the limited literature available for this subfamily. I think it should be reliable, though I haven’t stress-tested it much due to the low number of specimens I've had access to. Contact me if you find any errors or points of confusion.
