Key to males of Pristonesia

1. Posterior hypopygeal margin strongly excavated, so that median area of hypopygium occupies less than half of its length ( Figs 4A, 4D, 4J View FIGURE 4 , 5D View FIGURE 5 )....................................................................................... 2

- Posterior hypopygeal margin weakly emarginated, so that median area of hypopygium occupies more than half of its length ( Figs 4G View FIGURE 4 , 5A, 5G View FIGURE 5 )..................................................................................... 5

2. Anterior hypopygeal margin with anteromedial apodeme ( Fig. 4D, 4J View FIGURE 4 ); median area of hypopygium at most quarter of its length ( Figs 4D, 4J View FIGURE 4 )......................................................................................... 3

- Anterior hypopygeal margin without anteromedial apodeme ( Figs 4A View FIGURE 4 , 5D View FIGURE 5 ); median area of hypopygium about third of its length ( Figs 4A View FIGURE 4 , 5D View FIGURE 5 )........................................................................................ 4

3. Lobes of posterior hypopygeal margin outcurved, with small conical spine ( Fig. 4D View FIGURE 4 ); harpe with median projection ( Fig. 4F View FIGURE 4 )....................................................................................... P. oracil sp. nov.

- Lobes of posterior hypopygeal margin angulate, without any spine ( Fig. 1J View FIGURE 1 ); harpe without median projection ( Fig. 4L View FIGURE 4 )........................................................................................... P. querfil sp. nov.

4. Projection of harpe narrow in dorsal view ( Fig. 4B View FIGURE 4 ); apical aedeagal setae about as long as harpe ( Fig. 4C View FIGURE 4 )....................................................................................................... P. nyamuragira

- Projection of harpe conical in dorsal view ( Fig. 5E View FIGURE 5 ); apical aedeagal setae much shorter than harpe ( Fig. 5F View FIGURE 5 )................................................................................................... P. tainatril sp. nov.

5. Head subquadrate, about as long as wide ( Fig. 2E View FIGURE 2 ); median clypeal lobe rounded ( Fig. 2E View FIGURE 2 ); base of aedeagal apodeme strongly curved mesad ( Fig. 5C View FIGURE 5 ).................................................................... P. sicril sp. nov.

- Head pentagonal or nearly so, longer than wide ( Figs 1H View FIGURE 1 , 3B View FIGURE 3 ); median clypeal lobe angulate ( Figs 1H View FIGURE 1 , 3B View FIGURE 3 ); base of aedeagal apodeme straight or nearly so ( Figs 4H, 4I View FIGURE 4 , 5H, 5I View FIGURE 5 )........................................................... 6

6. Base of digitus strongly angled and projected ( Figs 5H, 5I View FIGURE 5 ); harpe narrow with elongate apical projection in dorsal view ( Figs 5H, 5I View FIGURE 5 )................................................................................. P. uvenil sp. nov.

- Base of digitus smoothly curved ( Figs 4H, 4I View FIGURE 4 ); harpe wide with conical apical projection in dorsal view ( Figs 4H, 4I View FIGURE 4 )............................................................................................ P. parcetil sp. nov.
