Belisana keyti Huber, 2005: 112 View in CoL , figs 53, 617–620 (♂ ♀, Sri Lanka). Diagnosis (amendments; see Huber 2005). Easily distinguished from most congeners by curvature of procursus (towards ventral; Huber 2005: fig. 618); from two Sri Lankan species with similar procursus ( B. badulla View in CoL , B. benjamini View in CoL ) by bulbal apophysis (much smaller in B. badulla View in CoL ; absent in B. benjamini View in CoL ; compare Figs 22–24 View FIGURES 17–24 ). Females are difficult to distinguish externally from similar congeners; pockets apparently consistently wider apart than in B. badulla View in CoL (260–270 µm versus 200–250 µm; compare Figs 25–28 View FIGURES 25–30 ); internal genitalia with distinctive pore plates (lateral round part with long narrow elongation towards median; Fig. 28 View FIGURES 25–30 ; similar only in B. badulla View in CoL ); with distinctive pair of internal folds ( Fig. 28 View FIGURES 25–30 ).

Description (amendments; see Huber 2005). Tibia 1 in four newly examined males: 3.6, 4.1, 4.3, 4.5; in 12 females: 3.0–3.4 (mean 3.2). Pair of abdominal marks poorly visible in ethanol preserved specimens.

New record. SRI LANKA: 1♂ 1♀, NMSL , 3♂ 11♀, ZFMK (Ar 20004) , and 2♀ in pure ethanol, ZFMK ( SL144 About ZFMK ), Central Province, Hakgala Forest (6.930°N, 80.814°E), 1790 m a.s.l., 14.iii.2017 (B.A. Huber) GoogleMaps .

Distribution. Known from type locality only ( Fig. 220 View FIGURES 220–221 ).
