Key to female Pteroneta View in CoL View at ENA of the Southeast Asian region

Females have to be distinguished by the shape of their primary reproduction organs

1. Insemination ducts coiled (making a loop), entering lower spermathecae apically............................................................2

– Insemination ducts shaped differently .................................. 3

2. Lower spermathecae smaller than upper ones (Fig. 5 C) ...... ................................................................ Pteroneta longichela View in CoL

– Upper and lower spermathecae equally in size (Fig 6 C) ....... ............................................................................. P. brevichela View in CoL

3. Upper spermathecae circular shaped .................................... 4

– Upper spermathecae more or less triangular, epigyne openings more chitinous, ducts slightly coiled, ending centrally (Fig. 7 A–B) ........................................................................ P. baiteta View in CoL

4. Upper and lower spermathecae more or less same size, circular; adjacent .................................................................................. 5

– Upper and lower spermathecae differ in shape and size ...... 6

5. Insemination duct curved but not coiled ................ P. saltans View in CoL

– Insemination duct more hook like ............................. P. tertia View in CoL

6. Upper spermathecae largest, upper and lower pair spermathecae not adjacent ............................................................ P. spinosa View in CoL

– Lower spermathecae largest .................................................. 7

7. Insemination ducts straight, long, lower spermathecae not adjacent to upper one and rectangular shaped (Fig. 8 A–B) .. ........................................................................ P madangiensis View in CoL

– Insemination ducts more curved, shorter, both spermathecae adjacent, lower ones oval shaped ................... P. ultramarina View in CoL
