Key to the subgroups of the
Lachesilla andra
species group (males only)
1 Claspers well developed and not fused to body of hypandrium but separated from it by a distinct line or attached to it at their base by membrane (see
García Aldrete, 1974
,
Fig. 7
). Phallosome a single stem forked posteriorly, each tine bilobed or trilobed at its apex................................................................................................................. Subgroup I
-. Claspers, when present, completely fused to body of hypandrium with no line of separation; claspers often greatly reduced or absent (see
Fig. 6
and
García Aldrete, 2000
,
Figs. 3, 10
). Phallosome not as above; if a single stem forked posteriorly, then each tine terminating in a spearhead-like structure; otherwise, phallosome either two rods fused only at base, or two separate rods ................................................................................................................................. 2
2 Phallosome a single stem forked in posterior half; each tine terminating in a spearhead-like structure..... Subgroup II
-. Phallosome of two separate rods, or the two rods fused only at base........................................................................... 3
3 Hypandrium extended posteriorly as two lateral lobes (
Fig. 6
); claspers either absent or represented (?) by a small process on or near the tip of each lateral hypandrial lobe.......................................................................... Subgroup III
-. Hypandrium terminating as two rounded lobes not extending posterior to hypandrial midpoint; claspers represented by a pair of diagonal lines across hypandrium, converging at posterior hypandrial midpoint and a small cone or spike-like projection at their point of convergence.................................................................................... Subgroup IV
