Anemesia incana species group

Diagnostic characters

This group comprises intensely dark-coloured medium-sized and large species. Members of this species group can be easily distinguished from other congeners due to the unique membranous process near the embolus apex in males (see Figs 148, 150 ), and to a specific shape of the entire spermathecae with unusually wide stalks in females ( Figs 251–265 ). Unlike most other members of Anemesia , all three species of the considered group have relatively large PMS ( Figs 285–286, 288–290 ; cf. Figs 268–270, 274, 277–284 ).

Species included

Anemesia incana Zonstein, 2001 , A. infumata sp. nov. and A. infuscata sp. nov.
