Panthea furcilla species-group

The P. furcilla species-group is closely related to the P. acronytoides group. It includes two species, P. furcilla (Packard) and P. greyi sp. n. Panthea furcilla is further segregated into two subspecies, with P. furcilla australis ssp. n. described as new. The group is characterized by the long, narrow vesica, 3-5 x as long as wide when everted and inflated, armed with a large terminal cornutus (Figs. 54-56), and by the elongated corpus bursae, partially constricted mesially forming a thick-walled outer section and a translucent thin-walled inner section (Figs 65-68).
