Key to female Pteroneta of the Southeast Asian region

Females have to be distinguished by the shape of their primary reproduction organs

1. Insemination ducts coiled (making a loop), entering lower spermathecae apically............................................................2

– Insemination ducts shaped differently .................................. 3

2. Lower spermathecae smaller than upper ones (Fig. 5 C) ...... ................................................................ Pteroneta longichela

– Upper and lower spermathecae equally in size (Fig 6 C) ....... ............................................................................. P. brevichela

3. Upper spermathecae circular shaped .................................... 4

– Upper spermathecae more or less triangular, epigyne openings more chitinous, ducts slightly coiled, ending centrally (Fig. 7 A–B) ........................................................................ P. baiteta

4. Upper and lower spermathecae more or less same size, circular; adjacent .................................................................................. 5

– Upper and lower spermathecae differ in shape and size ...... 6

5. Insemination duct curved but not coiled ................ P. saltans

– Insemination duct more hook like ............................. P. tertia

6. Upper spermathecae largest, upper and lower pair spermathecae not adjacent ............................................................ P. spinosa

– Lower spermathecae largest .................................................. 7

7. Insemination ducts straight, long, lower spermathecae not adjacent to upper one and rectangular shaped (Fig. 8 A–B) .. ........................................................................ P madangiensis

– Insemination ducts more curved, shorter, both spermathecae adjacent, lower ones oval shaped ................... P. ultramarina
