groups
Gonatopus
females were divided for convenience by
Olmi and Virla (2014)
into 12 groups. They are distinguished on the basis of the following characters:
1 Fully winged.................................................................................. Group 11
- Apterous........................................................................................... 2
2 Enlarged claw without subapical tooth (
Fig.
9
in
Olmi 1994b
), or with one very small subapical tooth (Plate 181A in
Olmi & Virla 2014
)......................................................................................... 3
- Enlarged claw with one large subapical tooth (Plate 168D, E in
Olmi & Virla 2014
)............................... 6
3 Distal apex of enlarged claw with group of lamellae (
Fig.

in
Olmi 1994b
)................................ Group 8
- Distal apex of enlarged claw without lamellae (Plates 181A, E, 182E-G, 183C, D in
Olmi & Virla 2014
................ 4
4 Pronotum crossed by strong transverse furrow (Plates 181C, D, 182A-D, 183A, B in
Olmi & Virla 2014
)......... Group 7
- Pronotum not crossed by transverse furrow or slightly impressed (Plates 202, 203A, C in
Olmi & Virla 2014

Olmi & Virla 2014
................ 7
- Pronotum crossed by strong transverse furrow (Plates 164C, 167E in
Olmi & Virla 2014
).......................... 8

)... Group 1
- Enlarged claw with lamellae (Plates 154E, F, 155 D, E in
Olmi & Virla 2014

- Labial palpus 3-segmented............................................................................ 11
10 Maxillary palpus composed of 2–4 segments......................................................... Group 2
- Maxillary palpus 5-segmented.................................................................... Group 10

The above groups are distributed in the zoogeographical regions as follows:
Palaearctic: groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11.
Afrotropical: groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11.
Oriental: groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10.
Nearctic: groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12.
Neotropical: groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12.
Australian: groups 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9.
As
