Anemesia castanea species group

Diagnostic characters

Males of the A. castanea species group resemble those of the A. pallida species group in possessing lateral spines on the cymbium. However, they differ from the members of the latter group in possessing a considerably longer palpal tibia and embolus ( Figs 180–181 , 206–210 ; cf. Figs 182–183 , 211–214 ). Females are distinguished by the specific shape of the normally entire spermathecae provided with long cylindrical stalks (see Figs 245–249 ).

Species included

A. castanea sp. nov. and A. karatauvi ( Andreeva, 1968) .
