Key to the species groups of Bargylia

1 Antenniferous tubercles with long spine. First spiniferous process of posteroventral series of fore femur relatively short, the second process much longer but some of the other long processes of similar size. Abdomen of male distinctly widened, elongate elliptical in dorsal aspect B. longispina sp. n.

– Antenniferous tubercles unarmed or only with a minute and insignificant tubercle. First spiniferous process of posteroventral series of fore femur much larger than any of the remaining processes. Abdomen nearly parallel-sided 2

2 Body distinctly tuberculate; clypeus with distinct spine; thoracic segments relatively short; fore femora stout with relatively long spiniferous processes ( stali WYGODZINSKY , grossi WYGODZINSKY ) “ stali -group”

– Body rather smooth; clypeus without distinct spine; thoracic segments elongated; fore femora narrow with relatively short spiniferous processes ( babinda WYGODZINSKY , longinota WYGODZINSKY ) “ longinota -group”
