Key to the species of Cyptophania

1. Fore wing venation distinct and showing a closed cell in basal half of wing...................................... 2

-. Fore wing venation visible but indistinct or not visible; if visible, lacking a basal closed cell ( Fig. 21 ).................. 3

2. Sc in fore wing arising from basal cell. Dark banding of fore wing bold. Middle dark transverse band bending twice at right angles in center ( Karny, 1932, Text-Fig. 5)................................................. C. bifurcata (Karny)

-. Sc in fore wing arising from wing base. Dark banding of fore wing obscure. Middle band broad, not bending.................................................................................................... C. hirsuta Banks

3. Fore wing with three pale spots in distal three-fifths of otherwise dark anterior margin......... C. marginata Thornton et al.

-. Fore wing marking not as above, either anterior margin not darker and with only one pale spot, or anterior margin darker but with no pale spots, or no marking pattern discernible.......................................................... 4

4. Fore wing with no discernible marking pattern. Collar of spermathecal duct with a thickening ‘pen’ in basal half ( Fig. 33 )......................................................................................... C. australica n.sp.

-. Fore wing with a distinct marking pattern. Collar of spermathecal duct lacking a ‘pen’............................... 5

5. Fore wing dark along anterior margin and throughout tip region, with a distinct colorless crossband before tip ( Fig. 16 ). Sexual species with a large spermatheca............................................................ C. pakaratii n.sp.

-. Fore wing uniformly pale brown except for colorless spotting ( Fig. 35 ). Asexual species with a small, much wrinkled spermatheca ( Figs 47, 48 )...................................................................... C. costalis n.sp.
