1. Lateral longitudinal carina of propodeum largely (at least above spiracle) absent. Face matt and punctate. Ovipositor sheath slightly shorter than (0.66–0.8 × as long as) hind TS I. Coxae, trochanters, and trochantelli black. Hind femur usually largely black. Metasomal tergites reddish brown except for T I. Other tergites also sometimes partly to entirely darkened in female. Scutellum sometimes with a yellow spot. Pronotum yellow in male. Vertex with or without a pair of yellow spots along eye margins.

.............. Ctenopelma tomentosum (Desvignes, 1856) View in CoL -. Lateral longitudinal carina of propodeum complete or almost complete ( Fig. 41D View Fig ). Face polished and punctate. Other character states various.

...................................................................... 2 2. Ovipositor sheath at least 10 × as long as maximum depth in lateral view, distinctly longer than hind TS I ( Fig. 3A View Fig ). Metasomal tergites black, several tergites (at least T III) red to reddish brown ( Fig. 3A View Fig ).

...................................................................... 3 -. Ovipositor sheath less than 3.5 × as long as maximum depth in lateral view, distinctly shorter than hind TS I ( Figs. 1A View Fig , 2A View Fig ). Metasomal tergites without conspicuous red area, almost or entirely black ( Figs. 1A View Fig , 2A View Fig ).

...................................................................... 4 3. Area superomedia and area petiolaris of propodeum separated by carina. Anterior portion of lateromedian longitudinal carina of propodeum obliterated. Face entirely yellowish brown in female. T II to T IV red to reddish brown in female.

................... Ctenopelma lucifer ( Gravenhorst, 1829) -. Area superomedia and area petiolaris of propodeum more or less confluent. Anterior portion of median longitudinal carina of propodeum complete and strong. Face black, lower lateral portion with large to small white spots in female ( Fig. 3B View Fig ). T III red to reddish brown in female ( Fig. 3B View Fig ).

..... Ctenopelma rufofasciatum Sheng, Sun & Li, 2019 4. Tarsal claw simple. Antenna and legs entirely black in female ( Fig. 2A View Fig ). Ovipositor without a subapical dorsal notch ( Fig. 41P View Fig ).
