IV. Lispe palposa and Lispe rigida groups

The identification key for L. palposa and L. rigida groups is also placed in the separate chapter for the following reasons:

a. These groups have characteristic tibial chaetotaxy (t2 with 1 or more ad seta(e); t3 with 1 ad seta, without av or pd) which differs from those of other Lispe .

b. L. palposa and L. rigida groups include together 22 taxa, i.e. more than 1/3 of all Palaearctic Lispe . The presence of these taxa in the general key would make it too large and inconvenient for using.

c. The general key is organized for both sexes together, while in the key for L. palposa and L. rigida groups males and females should be considered separately.
