Key to adult female Cryptinglisia species (modified after Kondo et al. 2018)

1. Legs rudimentary, with a reduced number of segments....................................................... 2

- Legs normal, each with well-developed coxa, trochanter, femur, tibia and tarsus................................... 3

2. Each stigmatic cleft containing 1 stigmatic seta. Claw digitules similar in shape and size. Body margin and midline without rows of simple pores..................................................... C. elytropappi (Brain) ( South Africa)

- Each stigmatic cleft containing 3 stigmatic setae. Claw digitules dissimilar in shape and size, 1 conspicuously thicker than the other. Body margin and midline each with a row of simple pores............... C. millari Gavrilov-Zimin ( South Africa)

3. Stigmatic spines not differentiated from marginal setae. Posterior spiracular disc-pore band incomplete, with only a few pores near area of posterior spiracle....................................... C. patagonica Granara de Willink ( Argentina)

- Stigmatic spines differentiated from marginal setae, with 1 (sometimes 2) per stigmatic cleft. Posterior spiracular disc-pore band more-or-less complete, either extending from area around posterior spiracle to body margin or pores only becoming absent near spiracle................................................................................... 4

4. Multilocular disc-pores mostly each with 8 loculi. Each stigmatic area with spiracular disc-pores aggregated in a sclerotised area. Antennae each 8 segmented. Inner margins of each anal plate without setae. Preopercular pores extending in a line from anal plates to anterior margin. Stigmatic spines subequal in length to marginal spinose setae................................................................................................. C. pluvialis (Hodgson) ( Zimbabwe)

- Multilocular disc-pores either absent or mostly each with 5 loculi. Each stigmatic area with spiracular disc-pores not aggregated in a sclerotised area.Antennae each usually with fewer than 8 segments. Inner margins of each anal plate with setae. Preopercular pores usually restricted to an area just anterior to anal plates. Stigmatic spines often much longer than marginal setae..... 5

5. Preopercular pores represented by about 11 groups in a line anterior to anal plates, extending onto head, each group situated in a sclerotized area. Marginal setae sharply spinose, in 2 rows along margin. Each stigmatic cleft with only 1 stigmatic spine, each only slightly longer than marginal setae. Each anal plate with only 1 spinose seta on inner margin. Claw digitules both narrow.......................................................................... C. grevilleae (Hall) ( Zimbabwe)

- Preopercular pores not in groups, each on a sclerotised area. Other characters not in this combination.................. 6

6. Multilocular disc-pores present in small groups on either side of anal cleft only.................................... 7

- Multilocular disc-pores present along both sides of anal cleft, but also with some pores extending anterolaterally on posterior abdominal segments.................................................................................. 9

7. Marginal setae fairly evenly and densely distributed along margin. Antennae each 7 or 8 segmented. Dorsal derm without areolations.......................................................................................... 8

- Marginal setae unevenly and sparsely distributed along margin. Antennae each 6 or 7 segmented. Dorsal derm with areolations......................................................... C. corpoica Kondo & Montes ( Colombia)

8. Antennal segment III about as wide as long. Preopercular pores extending anteriorly to about mid-thorax. Marginal setae in a double row, with larger and smaller setae alternating, with 26‒37 on each side between stigmatic areas..................................................................... C. theobromae (Newstead) ( Cameroon, Uganda, Zimbabwe)

- Antennal segment III much longer than wide and much the longest segment. Preopercular pores often extending anteriorly to anterior to level of mouth. Marginal setae in a single marginal row, with 10‒22 on each side between stigmatic areas........................................................................... C. lounsburyi Cockerell ( South Africa)

9. Preopercular pores extending along midline from just anterior to anal plates to about mesothorax. Dorsal microducts, each without a septum, appearing unilocular, sparsely scattered throughout dorsum, not intermixed with preopercular pores, nor present alongside marginal setae. Antennae each 7 segmented..................... C. chilensis Kondo & Gullan ( Chile)

- Preopercular pores extending along midline from just anterior to anal plates to head margin. Dorsal microducts, each with a septum, appearing bilocular, intermixed with preopercular pores; also present alongside marginal setae. Antennae each 5‒8 segmented......................................................................................... 10

10. Test of live insect only slightly convex, not shaped similar to a small bivalve shell. Stigmatic spines sharply spinose, each about twice as long as, or longer than, a marginal seta. A pair of large, thick ventral submarginal setae present anteriorly near head (ventral cephalic setae); each anal lobe also with a large, thick seta (large anal lobe seta). Antennae each 7 or 8 segmented......................................................................... C. ica Montes & Kondo ( Colombia)

- Test of live insect highly convex, similar to a small bivalve shell. Stigmatic spines bluntly spinose, each subequal in length to a marginal seta. Large, thick ventral submarginal setae absent from anteriorly on head and from anal lobes. Antennae each 5 or 6 segmented...................................................... C. zizyphi (Brain) ( South Africa, Zimbabwe)
