Key for Sicarius View in CoL View at ENA species from the Brazilian Caatinga
1 Males ............................................................................................... 2
- Females............................................................................................. 5
2 Embolus with a distal keel; bulb base smoothly tapers into body ( Fig. 131 View FIGURES 124 – 131 )...................... Sicarius ornatus View in CoL n. sp.
- Embolus simple, without distal keel; bulb base distinct from bulb body ( Figs 125, 127, 129 View FIGURES 124 – 131 ).......................... 3
3 Embolus bent at approximately a right angle in relation to the rest of the bulb ( Figs 65 View FIGURES 64 – 71 , 89 View FIGURES 88 – 91 , 127 View FIGURES 124 – 131 ) and with a curvature facing ret- rolaterally, visible only in apical view ( Fig. 66 View FIGURES 64 – 71 )............................................................... 4
- Embolus not bent and without such curvature ( Figs 49 View FIGURES 48 – 51 , 125 View FIGURES 124 – 131 ).......................... Sicarius tropicus (Mello-Leitão) View in CoL
4 Embolus relatively short and robust ( Figs 65–71 View FIGURES 64 – 71 )............................................ Sicarius cariri View in CoL n. sp.
- Embolus relatively long and sinuous ( Figs 88–91 View FIGURES 88 – 91 )......................................... Sicarius diadorim View in CoL n. sp.
5 Ventral face of spermathecae with 2–5 pairs of digitiform branches and covered with many pores ( Figs 111, 115, 119 View FIGURES 110 – 123 , 141 View FIGURES 134 – 141 , 149 View FIGURES 142 – 149 )................................................................................... Sicarius ornatus View in CoL n. sp.
- Ventral face of spermathecae without such branches, or with just one pair; few pores ( Figs 53 View FIGURES 52 – 63 , 79 View FIGURES 72 – 79 , 93 View FIGURES 92 – 103 )................... 6
6 Spermathecae with few branches(usually less than 12) ( Figs 73, 79 View FIGURES 72 – 79 , 81 View FIGURES 80 – 87 ).......................... Sicarius cariri View in CoL n. sp.
- Spermathecae with at least 16 branches ( Figs 53, 55 View FIGURES 52 – 63 , 93, 101 View FIGURES 92 – 103 ).................................................. 7
7 Spermathecae branches convoluted near the apex; median branches much longer than the lateral ones ( Figs 93, 95, 99, 101 View FIGURES 92 – 103 )................................................................................... Sicarius diadorim View in CoL n. sp.
- Spermathecae branches only slightly convoluted; all spermathecae branches approximately the same size ( Figs 53, 55, 57, 61 View FIGURES 52 – 63 )........................................................................... Sicarius tropicus (Mello-Leitão) View in CoL
