- Genital capsule with gonocoxae presenting a smooth internal margin, without any sign of a longitudinal ridge or carina (
Figures 21C–D
) ............................................................................................ 4
2. Penis valves bulbous, grossly expanded and filling almost the entire space between the gonostyli (
Figure 21E
). Restricted to

(island of Samos) and a small part of western
Turkey
on the Aegean coast only (around Kuşadası)..................................................................................................

- Penis valves not greatly expanded laterally, not occupying almost the entire space between the gonostyli (

). Species more widespread.............................................................................. 3
3. In profile view, penis valves relatively long, two times longer than broad (
Figures 20E
;
21H
). In dorsal view, surface of penis valves flattened and somewhat “leathery”, with pattern of latitudinal striations, surface dull (
Figure 20F
). Southern Balkans across
Turkey

Armenia

- In profile view, penis valves relatively short, clearly less than two times longer than wide (
Figure 21G
). In dorsal view, surface of penis valves more or less domed, shining with only narrow longitudinal dull strip (
Figure 21F
).

4. In profile view, penis valves relatively small (
