Anemesia pallida species group

Diagnostic characters

The group comprises small, pale-coloured species. Males in this group resemble those of the castanea species group in possessing a laterally spinose cymbium, but differ from them in the considerably shorter palpal tibia and embolus (Figs 182–183, 211–214, cf. Figs 180–181, 206–210). Females of Anemesia pallida sp. nov. can be distinguished from other congeners in the reduced dorsal abdominal pattern (Fig. 23) and in the specific shape of the deeply divided spermathecae (Fig. 250).
