Key for the determination of the males of subgenus
Dziriblatta
1. T6 unusually long, length/breadth ≥39% (
Figs. 2C–F
); T5–7 laterally with sparsely distributed spatular bristles (
Figs. 1B–D
); pouch lobes of T7 gland at least basally sclerotized, shortly before opening into the pit united to a large common orifice almost of the breadth of the pit (

); transversal mesal part of the posterior border of T10 between weakly convex to weakly concave (
Figs. 1E, F
,
3G–I
)....................................................................... 2
- T6 not unusually long, length/breadth ≤36% (
Figs. 10F–H
); at least T7 laterally with densely arranged spatular bristles (
Figs. 12D, E
); pouch lobes of T7 gland unsclerotized, each separately opening with a relatively small orifice into the pit (
Fig. 11C
); transversal part of the posterior border of T10 distinctly concave (
Fig. 10E
)....................................... 6
2. Pouch lobes much longer than the length of T7, only in the basal part and there only weakly sclerotized, throughout their length flat; only with a large bipartite pit (
Fig. 8
); discs of thoracic nota usually completely dark.........

algerica
- Pouch lobes not or only scarcely longer than the length of T7, conical, in full length three-dimensional and sclerotized; apart from the large bipartite pit additionally on each side with a smaller circular pit (hole) (
Fig. 1A
); discs of thoracic nota never completely dark, either almost completely lightly coloured or dark maculose...................................... 3
3. Pouch lobes of about the length of T7 (87–126%, mean 102%), conical, with narrowly rounded tip (
Figs. 1A
,
3C
); long pit bristles strictly straight, forming on each side a slender and dense bundle (
Figs. 3A, B
)...........

bolivari
- Pouch lobes shorter, measuring less than 84% (mean 70% or less) of the length of T7, tip usually broadly rounded; long pit bristles less straight, forming usually less dense bundles....................................................... 4
4. Posterior border of T6 with a deep sinusoidal excavation (
Fig. 7C
), T7 with strongly produced latero-posterior corners and a wide concavity in between (
Fig 7D
); pouch lobes very short, caplike, with more or less transversely cut tip, length 37% (
Fig. 7E
); all pit bristles strongly curved or curled (
Figs. 7F, G
).........................

pilleata
spec. nov.
- T6,7 similarly shaped as in the other members of the species group: posterior border of T6 only with a week excavation (

), latero-posterior corners of T7 moderately produced (
Fig. 4D
); pouch lobes longer, obtusely conical, with broadly rounded tip (
Fig. 3D
), at least long pit bristles less strongly bent....................................................... 5
5. Length of the pouch lobes 58-83b% (mean 70%) (
Figs. 3D–F
,
4D
, 5A–C); long pit bristles almost straight, only tips may be slightly bent, arranged in rather compact bundles (
Figs. 4F–H
).....................

6. Pouch lobes very flat, elongated lappet-shaped, basally broad, about as broad as half of the glandular pit of T7, apically pointed, often unregulartly lobated and folded (

7. Latero-posterior corners of T5 triangularly produced (
Fig. 23B
); T5‒7 laterally densely covered with spatular bristles (
Figs. 25E–G
