The Westwoodia key is derived from a 2008 monograph of this genus by Wharton, Roeder, and Yoder published in Zootaxa 1855: 1-40. This work in turn is based on the studies of Kira Zhaurova (Contributions of the American Entomological Institute 35 (5).

This matrix is for the subgenera of Metopius. It includes representatives from all former subgenera.

The key to Scolobatini + Westwoodiini was prepared by Caitlin Nessner and is derived primarily from the thesis research of Kira Zhaurova (Contributions of the American Entomological Institute 35 (5) (2009) and Zootaxa 2207: 1-52). Heather Cummins and Patricia Mullins provided assistance with the images.

This key includes all Scolobatini, Westwoodiini, and Perilissini as well as Tasmabates. It was prepared by Caitlin Nessner and Bob Wharton. Cheryl Hyde, Andrea Walker, Catherine Saenz, Heather Cummins, Matt Yoder, Patricia Mullins, Amy James, and Amanda Ladigo assisted with the images.

The Pergaphaga key was prepared largely by Patricia Mullins and is derived from a 2010 revision of this genus by Wharton, Cammack, and Mullins published in ZooKeys 37: 35-68. Kira Zhaurova and Heather Cummins assisted with the imaging.

This key was prepared by Xanthe Shirley, Danielle Restuccia, and Bob Wharton as part of a revision of the Opius ingenticornis species group.
