Key to Oriental Agathidinae:
The Sharkey and Seltmann, 2009 version of the key to Oriental Agathidinae is generated using MX software (Yoder et al., 2006-present). It is optimized for viewing in Firefox. MX is an open source, Web based content management tool and workbench for working systematists. The images, dynamically generated matrix in Nexus format, and specimen data from the key are available for download. The online key has the utility of dynamically updating from database additions. MX has a wide range of functionality beyond multi-entry and dichotomous key generation, information captured from other activities such as managing specimen data, images, phylogenetic characters, and ontologies may be incorporated into key content. The key to Oriental Agathidinae is dynamically linked to the Hymenoptera Anatomy Ontology, which provides a glossary of illustrated terminology for the key.
