Key to species of the genus Ferricixius Hoch & Ferreira, 2012 View in CoL
1 Compound eyes and tegmina well developed ( Figs 1A View FIGURE 1 , 3A–D View FIGURE 3 ). Flagellum of antenna without arista. Hind legs with 1 st and 2 nd tarsomere with 8 apical teeth ( Figs 3E–F View FIGURE 3 ); ventral process of aedeagus curved distally with two teeth bigger than the others apically ( Figs 4D–F View FIGURE 4 ); epigean species................................................. Ferricixius urieli sp. nov.)
– Habitus strongly troglomorphic ( Figs 1B–D View FIGURE 1 ). Compound eyes and tegmina reduced or missing ( Figs 6A–D View FIGURE 6 , 9A–D View FIGURE 9 ). Flagellum of antenna with arista ( Figs 9C View FIGURE 9 1 View FIGURE 1 , 13A–B View FIGURE 13 ). Hind legs with 1 st and 2 nd tarsomere with 4–6 apical teeth ( Figs 6E–F View FIGURE 6 , 9E–F View FIGURE 9 , 13E View FIGURE 13 ). .................................................................................................. (2)
2(1) Second tarsomere of hind leg with 2 apical teeth (rarely 4). Flagellum of aedeagus with a “hook-shaped”, apically sharpened dorsolateral process. Aedeagal flagellum laterally without a “spine-like” process...................... Ferricixius davidi View in CoL .
– Second tarsomere of hind leg with 4 apical teeth. Flagellum of aedeagus with a “spine-like” process left laterally ( Figs 7E View FIGURE 7 , 10E View FIGURE 10 ).............................................................................................. (3)
3(2) Aedeagal shaft with ventral process with 3 apical teeth, distally sinuous and very narrow ( Figs 10D, F View FIGURE 10 ). Aedeagus left laterally with a strongly curved apical spine, reaching or, reaching or almost reaching the middle of the shaft ( Fig. 10F View FIGURE 10 ).......................................................................................... Ferricixius goliathi sp. nov.
– Aedeagal shaft with ventral process serrated with about 14 apical teeth, process distally almost straight and very wide ( Figs 7D, F View FIGURE 7 ). aedeagus ventro-laterally with a very short (less than half as long as aedeagus shaft) slightly curved subapical spine. ( Fig. 7F View FIGURE 7 )............................................................................. Ferricixius michaeli sp. nov.
