Key to species of Voragocoris (based on male specimens)

1. Male-specific organ with a tubular projection protruding forward (see Weirauch 2012, fig. 2A–E); sternum 6 without a median patch of long setae (see Weirauch 2012, fig. 5B); pygophore cavity deep and prominent (see Weirauch 2012, fig. 5B; 5E); aedeagus with one or more processes (see Weirauch 2012, fig. 5D; 5F–G; Makhan 2013, figs 3–4)....................... 2

- Male-specific organ with a flattened projection, not protruding forward ( Fig. 2 B–C); sternum 6 with a median patch of long setae ( Fig. 2 D–E); pygophore cavity elongated, shallow and not so prominent ( Fig. 2D; 2F ); aedeagus without processes ( Fig. 3A )................................................................................. V. weirauchae sp.n.

2. Right paramere slightly arched (see Weirauch 2012, fig. 5D; 5F); aedeagus with one process (see Weirauch 2012, fig. 5 A, D, F–G)................................................................................. V. schuhi Weirauch

- Right paramere strongly arched (see Makhan 2013, Figs 6–7); aedeagus with several processes ( Makhan 2013, figs 3–4)......................................................................................... V. amrishi Makhan
