Key to species of Kuzicus View in CoL (for males only)
1. Tenth abdominal tergite with medial lobes diverging abruptly at the base from one another (Fig. 1I, 2K).......................................................................................... K. koeppeli Sänger & Helfert, 2004 View in CoL
- Tenth abdominal tergite with medial lobes not diverging at the base from one another; if so, not as abruptly or converged apically (Figs. 1A–1H).................................................................................... 2
2. Tenth abdominal tergite with one or two pairs of apical lobes (Figs. 1B–1H, 2B–2J). Epiphallus with small ventro-subapical inflation with small denticles and a pair of small semi-articulated, spine-like appendices or lobules directed more or less posteriorly (forward from the apex) or laterally ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 B–3J)........................................................ 4
- Tenth abdominal tergite with two pairs of apical lobes (Figs. 1A, 2A, 6C). Epiphallus without denticles and these appendiceslobules but with a pair of robust unarticulated projections directed anteriorly (backward from the apex) ( Figs. 3 View FIGURE 3 A, 6G)..... 3
3. Tenth abdominal tergite with median lobes with stout ventral teeth apically; with lateral lobes obtuse apically ( Figs. 6 View FIGURE 6 C, 6E) Cercus stout and short ( Figs. 6 View FIGURE 6 G). Epiphallus with a pair of tongue-shaped lateral processes pointing anteriorly at the apex; with posterior margin producing into a plate in the middle (instead of rounded) ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 G).... K. pakthongchai Tan et al. View in CoL sp. n.
- Tenth abdominal tergite with median lobes without tooth apically; with lateral lobes tapering apically (Figs. 1A, 2A). Cercus long and slender ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 A). Epiphallus with a pair of tongue-shaped lateral processes pointing posteriorly at the apex; with posterior margin rounded ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 A)...................................................... K. uvarovi Gorochov, 1993 View in CoL
4. Tenth abdominal tergite with two pairs of apical lobes (Figs. 1G, 2I)............... K. scorpioides Sänger & Helfert, 2006 View in CoL
- Tenth abdominal tergite with one pair of apical lobes (Figs. 1B–1H, except 1G, 2B–2J, except 2I); if with two pairs, lateral lobes are small and truncated ( Figs. 8 View FIGURE 8 C, 8D)................................................................ 5
5. Tenth abdominal tergite with medial lobes modified or bifurcate at the apex (Figs. 1B, 1D, 1H, 2B, 2D, 2H, 2J)........... 6
- Tenth abdominal tergite with medial lobes simple, usually forming a flattened disc at the apex (Figs. 1C, 1E, 1F, 2C, 2E, 2F, 2G)................................................................................................. 9
6. Tenth abdominal tergite with medial lobes bifurcate at the apex (Figs. 1H, 2J). Epiphallus as shown in Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 J.................................................................................. K. suzukii (Matsumura & Shiraki, 1908) View in CoL
- Tenth abdominal tergite with medial lobes highly modified, forming structure (Figs. 1B, 1D, 2B, 2D, 2H). Epiphallus not as above............................................................................................... 7
7. Tenth abdominal tergite with apex of medial lobes with minute teeth and warts (Figs. 1B, 2B, 8C, 8E). Cercus with basal process, apex acute (Figs. 1B, 4B, 4C, 8F). Epiphallus at apex with one large tooth and numerous minute denticles on each side ( Figs. 3 View FIGURE 3 B, 8E, 8G)..................................................................................... 8
- Tenth abdominal tergite with apex of median lobes without minute teeth and warts (may have ventral spine-like process); with apex of medial lobes forming a hammer-head structure (in lateral view) (Figs. 1D, 2D). Cercus without basal process, apex with minute teeth ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 F). Epiphallus at apex with two pairs of relatively large dentiform processes ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 D)....................................................................................... K. compressus Han & Shi, 2014 View in CoL
8. Tenth abdominal tergite with median lobes denticulated on the dorsal and posterior margins at the apex (Figs. 1B, 2B).......................................................................... K. aspercaudatus Sänger & Helfert, 2006 View in CoL
- Tenth abdominal tergite with median lobes denticulated on the ventral margin at the apex only ( Figs. 8 View FIGURE 8 C, 8F)...................................................................................... K. multidenticulatus Tan et al. View in CoL sp. n.
9. Cercus bifurcate at the apex; with ventral process stout, dorsal process slender ( Figs. 4 View FIGURE 4 D, 4E). Epiphallus broader and with articulated ventral processes small ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 C)....................................... K. cervicercus (Tinkham, 1943) View in CoL
- Cercus not bifurcate at the apex ( Figs. 4 View FIGURE 4 G–4K). Epiphallus more slender and/ or with articulated ventral processes longer ( Figs. 3 View FIGURE 3 E–3H)........................................................................................ 10
10. Median lobes of tenth abdominal tergite appears distinctively bulbous at the distal end in lateral view (Fig. 2G). Epiphallus with articulated ventral processes short and stout ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 G)................ K. megaterminatus Ingrisch & Shishodia, 1998 View in CoL
