Key to species of Dashymeniella

1. Dorsum covered with moderately dense setae; pronotal calli somewhat raised ( Fig. 17 ); posterior lobe of pronotum with narrow, smooth, longitudinal swelling medially contiguous with posterior margin ( Fig. 17 ); DSS with basal one third somewhat widened, apical two thirds thin, nearly cylindrical; AES strongly broadened, entirely embracing DSS ( Fig. 99 )................................................................................................. D. tibialis Poppius

- Dorsum nearly devoid of setae ( Fig. 88 ); pronotal calli flattened or very weakly raised; posterior lobe of pronotum without any swelling medially ( Figs. 13–14, 16–17 ); endosomal sclerite DSS stout and large, occupying most of endosoma, strongly broadened apically; AES strongly smaller than DSS, not embracing the latter ( Figs. 96, 102, 105 ).......................... 2

2. DSS short at broadened, apical portion; AES absent; MES relatively small, moderately curved ( Fig. 105 )..... D. ulu sp. nov.

- DSS relatively long at broadened, apical portion; AES present; MES large, hook-shaped ( Figs. 96, 102 )................. 3

3. DSS spoon-like in shape with apical, broadened portion rounded; PES present ( Fig. 96 )......... D. spatulatiformis sp. nov.

- DSS with apical, broadened portion triangular; PES absent ( Fig. 102 )............................. D. viklundi sp. nov.
